Does anyone know which vehicle was fitted with a higher ratio chain drive transfer box? I have a 1989 Efi with the 3.5 litre engine. I only ask because I have just changed mine for a spare, and the poor thing is struggling to pull the higher gearing now.
could be a diesel rr ratio
I thought all the chain drive transfer boxes are the same ratio - 1.222, I take it the coloured sticker has gone from the replacement xfer box ?
The speedo drive gear in the transfer box can be changed for one of, IIRC, 12 different types so the first thing I'd ask is... how sure are you that the speedo is still reading the same ?
The LT230 transfer box can be used to replace the BW box with the addition of the required levers and are available in 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.
6 ratios "off the shelf".cheers

I thought that an' all.
mind, I can't find 1.192 ratio LT230s mentioned in any of my books, yet that's what the one I've just acquired is, or says it is anyway.
Are you sure it's not a 1.0192 ? They were fitted to the back of the 3 speed auto in RRCs and, as you say, aren't documented in the normal books/info. They are ideal for BIG, low revving diesel conversions like the V8 GM,

nah, this is from a RR, on an LT77, and says 1.192 on the little sticker.
