I have put a Lt230 out of a Disco 95-98 model and mated it with my ZF in my 89 Rangie.
The question is, it seems to have a lot of slack in it so how do I adjust it to take out the slack? Do I have to buy stuff for it? Can it be done my a novice?
Thanks
Shane

How much is the kit?
Is it a complete rebuild?
Is it worth worrying about?

It could have a worn out input gear or output shaft. It could also have a worn out Cross Pin in the centre diff. If the centre diff explodes it will be very costly. I just replaced the centre diff in mine as it Exploded and a rebuilt one cost me $600.
The input gear and output shaft are easy repairs but the Centre diff is a PITA.

I am still not feeling warm and fuzzy. I might steel a minute of your time (or Charles's) when I get it back on the road after destroying both front and rear diffs again today driving the creek at Ormeau. I don't think I can avoid the toyota diff centre conversion.

LT230's seem to have excessive backlash to some people, but this is normal.
Gears need backlash and you have to remember there are gears in the centre diff if you compare the LT230 to a t/case with no centre diff.
Excessive backlash between gear teeth is not good, because it usually indicates worn teeth or bearings - causes noise and higher dynamic loads. Excessive backlash in new gears is not good either for same reasons.
Also there is backlash between the teeth for the high/low dog clutch.
You should check some other LT230's to see how yours compares to them before you panick or start to pull it down.
Wear of the splines in early input gears is a well known problem and it is good practice to ensure that the later input gear, with cross drilled lubrication hole, is fitted.
