Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC4490 transfer box differential gear kit do?
The RTC4490 kit renews the centre differential gear set inside the LT230 transfer box. The centre differential splits drive between the front and rear output shafts, which is what gives permanent four wheel drive. The kit restores the designed gear mesh within the transfer case.
Has RTC4490 been replaced by another part number?
RTC4490 has been superseded by STC2940. Both cover the LT230 transfer box centre differential gear set on the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. If you find either number listed, they refer to the same transfer box differential gear set.
Which vehicles use the LT230 transfer box this kit covers?
The LT230 transfer box is used on the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2006, Discovery 1 from 1989 to 1998, and Range Rover Classic from 1986 to 1991 in the fitments this kit covers. Confirm you have an LT230 rather than the earlier LT95 before ordering.
What are the signs the LT230 centre differential is worn?
A clonk on taking up drive, driveline shunt when changing throttle, and a whine from under the centre of the vehicle are the usual signs. On the LT230 the centre differential typically wears where the transfer box has run low on oil or the difflock has been used on hard surfaces.
