Hi lads.

Currently working on removing a transfer case from my Disco 1 300TDi Auto.
Doing this with engine and gearbox still in place and it's a being a bit of a mongrel.

Have the handbrake assemble off and have removed x5 bolts (of varying length) from the housing.
Are there any more securing it as it doesn't seem to want to seperate from the gearbox as yet.

Any tips appreciated

 

Do you have a copy of the workshop manual aka RAVE? Procedure for yanking it is on pages 416-417.

v8 auto has a brace from the bellhousing to the right side. dont know if tdi has that

undo shifters and breather line

 

You'll need to disconnect the lever (shifter) from the xfer case obviously.

This is from a D2 but it shouldn't be much different

 

Just happen to have a D1 LT230Q sitting in the back yard that I have yet to throw away. Here is the bolt pattern for the transfer case that attaches to the transmission. I show more than 5 bolt holes. But, that does not mean each bolt hole has a bolt in it. I know the bolt for the gear fluid fill hole is one that actually attaches to the transmission. I would check these bolt holes as I show, which you would need to flip it around mentally, and ensure you have them all removed.
