Centre Differential Assembly for the LT230 transfer box.

The centre differential sits between the transfer box high/low range gears and the front and rear output shafts. It divides drive between the two axles while allowing them to turn at different speeds, which is what permits permanent four-wheel drive to be used on hard surfaces without transmission wind-up. The assembly incorporates the differential lock mechanism, which couples the two outputs together for traction on loose or slippery ground.

Supplied as a built-up assembly for installation into the transfer box casing during overhaul, or as a replacement where the differential gears, the lock dog clutch or the centre differential bearings have worn or failed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TBB500060 centre differential assembly for?
The TBB500060 is the centre differential assembly for the LT230 transfer box, fitted to the Land Rover Defender up to 2016. It sits between the transfer box range gears and the front and rear output shafts, dividing drive between the axles while allowing them to turn at different speeds.
What does the centre diff lock do?
The assembly includes the differential lock mechanism, which couples the two outputs together for traction on loose or slippery ground. On hard surfaces the centre diff lets the axles turn at different speeds, which prevents transmission wind-up in permanent four-wheel drive.
Does this fit both early and later Defenders?
This centre diff covers the LT230-equipped Defender across both the 1986-2006 range and the 2007-2016 Puma build (from VIN (V)7A000001). It's supplied as a built-up assembly for transfer box overhaul, so confirm your vehicle runs the LT230 transfer box before ordering.
What are the signs of a worn centre differential?
A worn LT230 centre differential shows as whine or vibration from the transfer box, difficulty engaging or holding diff lock, or play in the drivetrain. It's renewed where the differential gears, the lock dog clutch or the centre bearings have worn or failed.
