This kit mounts to the back of the any 2WD ZF S6-53 gearbox including M57/N57 etc
The connecting shaft male end fits into the LT230 drive, the female end replaces the drive flange.
This kit allows an LT230 Transfer Case to then be attached.
Mounting bolts included.
The kit once fitted will make the gearbox and adapter the same length as a 300tdi R380 from bellhousing mating face to engine back to the lt230 making face. 645mm
Gearbox output shaft support for flange must be cut off. Right side of gearbox casing may require casting lugs/ribs removing or grinding for clearance.
This kit is designed to be used with our selector top add on, however you may come up with your own solutions for gear selection and transfer box operation.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Cut rear output shaft after splines.
2. Remove lug and rib marked in blue located on right side of gearbox. This allows clearance for the LT230
3. Offer adapter plate up and fit 4 m10 bolts and 2 m8 bolts.

Brillant product, have fitted several of these now and it bolts up the the BMW 6 speed box a treat! Amazing detail in the machining of the product and I know this has been ‘race’ proven so is a product built to last! This bought together with the additional linkage kit that allows the R380 top selector, ‘Defender R380 Gear levers’ to be bolted straight to the top of the adaptor and all the corresponding parts supplied for full function of your orignal gear sticks. Great product, highly reccomend if wanting a super strong bmw gearbox that is a near on bolt in solution for the R380.
