The LT77 gearbox was used from 1983 to 1989 on 90/110s with 4 cylinder engines and 1990/91 on all 90/110s.  LT77S were used all all Discoverys to 1993 and 90/110s during 1992/93.  All of these boxes use a separate transfer case called the LT230 which is mounted directly onto the output flange of the gearbox.  The “77” refers to the centerline spacing in mm between the mainshaft and the layshaft.  Reverse is to the left and up.

The R380 gearbox was used from 1994 to present on Defenders and Discoverys.  All of these boxes use a separate transfer case called the LT230 which is mounted directly onto the output flange of the gearbox.  Reverse is to the right and down.  This box was brought in as a replacement for the LT77S.  It is noted to be smoother shifting than its predecessor.

The LT230 is an all gear transfer case.  It has been used on all Defenders, Discoverys, pre’ 1989 Range Rovers and 90/110s with LT77/LT77S/LT85/R380/ZF4HP22 gearboxes. The transfer case is a “full time” unit with a lockable, mechanical differential.  The differential is locked via a mechanical linkage through a spring inside the box.  Overdrives and underdrives are available that mount off of the PTO flange and replace the transfer case input gear.  The gear set is comprised of 4 pieces:
