Land Rover Part Number: FRC8900 - High/Low Selector Shaft Assembly - LT230
FRC8900 is a High/Low Selector Shaft Assembly for the LT230 transfer box. Fitted into the LT230, this selector shaft transmits the shift action from the external transfer box operating linkage to the internal forks or selectors, positioning the mechanism to engage either high- or low-range gears. The shaft provides the rotational and axial movement required to move selector components cleanly between ranges; correct alignment and freedom of movement are important to avoid partial engagement or gear noise. Replace the shaft if wear, scoring or bent geometry is evident, as this can prevent full range engagement and increase wear on selector forks and synchronising surfaces. During reassembly inspect adjacent seals and bushes for wear and confirm linkage fitment to maintain correct selector travel.
