LT95 gear box swap questions/how to

Post by harry potter »

I have finally got hold of a LT95 gear box with overdrive that has come from a range rover to replace the current box that jumps out of low range when under power. the plan will be to re-built the old box in my spare time and keep as a spare.
I am looking at all the items required to make the transplant to the stage 1 and have a few queries.
1. first of all - where do you find the gear box number? l cannot find the number on the new box.
2. the box has the range rover hand brake assembly, linkage system - not the cable operated as per the stage 1 type.
3. is the input and output shaft from the engine the same length or does it require swapping from the original box
4. speedo - no idea what goes on here - assume the gearing is different and need the original needs swapping in.
5. is there a post on this forum or other forum about using the LT95 from a rangerover to stage 1. I do understand that the gearing will be different but will live with it for the time being unless it causes a major problem.

I have been through stirlingsilvers great post on the AS website.

does anybody have the linkage available for the overdrive? if not l will have to make my own.
Thanks in advance.

1. It should be on the back of the transfer case. You might find this site useful (once you've got your browser to translate it from the Dutch!):

2. And your question is?

3. Sorry, can't help with this one.

4. I believe you will have to fit your speedo pinion drive and worm gear, unless you'd rather have your speedo recalibrated.

5. I'm sure there must be - have you tried the Search facility on this site and google?
