Frequently asked questions

What is the 26-tooth LT230 mainshaft gear?
This is the 26-tooth mainshaft gear for the LT230 transfer box. Mounted on the transfer mainshaft, it forms part of the gear train that splits drive from the main gearbox to the front and rear output shafts. The 26-tooth count sets its place in the transfer ratio. It fits Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
Which vehicles take the 26-tooth LT230 mainshaft gear?
This gear fits the Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1 (VIN FA393361 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic (up to VIN HA610293) with the LT230 transfer box. The tooth count must match the rest of the transfer gear set, so check your VIN against these breaks before ordering.
Why does the tooth count matter when ordering this LT230 gear?
The 26-tooth count places this gear within a specific LT230 transfer ratio set, so it must match the mating gears in your box. Fitting a gear with the wrong count causes meshing problems and noise. Count the teeth on your existing gear and confirm the VIN range before ordering this 26-tooth version.
