Frequently asked questions

What is the Detent Spring (FRC5562) for the LT230?

The Detent Spring FRC5562 loads the detent that holds the LT230 transfer box selectors in position. It stops the high/low range and differential lock selectors moving on their own, keeping the chosen range engaged. Fitted to Land Rover Defender 1987-2006, Discovery 1, Discovery 2 and Range Rover Classic.

How many detent springs does an LT230 transfer box use?

The LT230 detent spring is usually fitted one per selector detent, loading the ball or plunger that locks each selector in place. On these transfer boxes it's commonly renewed alongside the detent balls during a gearchange rebuild. FRC5562 is also listed under cross-reference FRC9546.

What happens if the LT230 detent spring is worn?

A worn LT230 detent spring typically lets the transfer box jump out of high or low range, or allows the diff lock to creep out under load. On high-mileage Defender and Discovery boxes the spring weakens, so the detent no longer holds the selector firmly.
