Frequently asked questions

What is the Transfer Box Intermediate Shaft Shim used for?
The Transfer Box Intermediate Shaft Shim sets the end float of the intermediate gear on its shaft inside the transfer box. This 0.005in shim is a selective-thickness shim, fitted to take up axial clearance so the intermediate gear runs without excessive play. Fits Land Rover Series 2, 3 and Defender up to 2016.
How many 0.005in shims do I need?
The number of 0.005in shims needed varies, because end float is set selectively. You typically build up a combination of shim thicknesses to reach the correct intermediate gear end float in the workshop manual. Quantity depends on the clearance measured during assembly, so it's not a fixed count.
Which Land Rover transfer boxes does this shim fit?
This intermediate shaft shim fits the Series 2, 3 and Defender transfer box with intermediate shaft suffix B/C onwards. It's the 0.005in adjustment increment used at the intermediate gear. Confirm your intermediate shaft suffix before ordering, since earlier shafts can differ.
