Outer Limits 4x4 Board

does any one know where to get a set of reduction gears for the lt230 to lower the low range gearing and what they r worth,

luke

I think MR automotive sell them now. Best part of $2k I think.

2k is that the full job, all i was looking 4 is supplied

Found this on another forum:

There is a 5 or more buy price that is significantly better than the $1650 price quoted.

Give me a call, Luke and I will let you know.

I paid $1,485 inc GST for Mals last 49% reduction gear set just before he handed over to MR Automotive.

Any chance we can have a show of hands of who would be interested for BIG group buy on reduction gears????

Nah...he's far too g-h-e-y for reduction gears.

what percent reduction is available

30% and 49% which roughly equates to 4.3:1 amd 5:1 respectively.

I think ill be going for the 30s as 4.3.1 is pretty damn good with 35s and 4.3 diffs. I also want to keep a little bit of pace in Reggie for superior.

not so gay being the last rover standing last night

im in for some 5.1s to push my 38s

Harley

would be interested in the %50 but wont have the $$$$ until jan as moving house

I'm interested in one of them probably in the 30%

When Mal was selling them,
30% Was a drop in converion,
50% needed a mod on the TC.
????????

The 30% should go straight in.
The 49s do require some die grinding inside the case for the larger gear to spin freely.
If you are able to fit the gears yourself then some die grinding shouldnt be an issue.
Head count so far is

Nottie (me) 30%
Rangie on 38s (luke) Unsure
Micka (Mick) 30% I think
Hijack (harley) 49%
Pacman. Unsure
Defmac (january) 49%
Goldrover. 30%
JBELL (Jeff) 49%
Any more just cut and past this and add to it.

49% x1 for me

hey luke are you back into wheeling?

I bought the 30% reduction gears some years ago, before 49% reduction was available.

Back then I had to grind inside the case, and part of the selector shaft so the low range gear would clear them.

The low range gear was too large to fit through the hole for the output housing (where it is normally fitted) and had to be fitted through the opening with the rectangular cover.

I don't know what may have changed since then to possibly make the gear smaller.

I'm interested in the 49% set, just let me know when..


cheers Jeff

Is any thing happening on the group purchase? Looks like I need to look at some excessive slack in my 3rd diff so logical to do the reduction when its out

interested in the 30% but need prices
probably wont be affording it in the next month or so tho

The prices are yet to be confirmed 100% as it will depend on how many sets there are. As for the time line?...Most replies on here are suggesting that a lead in time of a month or more is needed. I personally wont be affording mine til the new year - probably Feb - so maybe we can start making a serious list of purchasers for a Feb group buy?

So that you get an idea, the price will be roughly around $1200, but this depends on the numbers in the group.

im in $12oo in feb sounds good for a 49% set

I'll probably grab a set as well for that price - have to decide which...
