JIMBOBLY:
hello people,my question is,my rangie still has the standard borg warner transfer box,i believe its possible to fit an lt230 unit to the original auto box,whats involved in doing this,and what ratio would be better for 235/85x16,im thinking 1.410,what do you think?any help is always appreciated,jim. :D

Bowie:
1.4 will lower your gearing to slightly less than stock, so will accelerate faster, but it's not much :)

ChrisV8:
I run a Disco 1.2 transfer behind my 200tdi with 5 speed LT77 in my RR and it's fine with 235/85 x 16s, tows my big trailer loaded with no real issues either.

Range Rover Blues:
I find my V8 struggles a bit with 238/85s on it, but I'm not sure it's giving 100%v any more.  Given the choice though I'd fit the 1.4 box to keep the gearing correct, it is 10% or thereabouts between the original tyres and the taller ones you have.

Henry Webster:
Why replace the Borg Warner?  I much prefer the way a car with the viscous centre handles to an LT230.  If you want to lower the ratio Tomcat Motorsport do a reduced ratio gear and chain kit for the BW.
