Description

Overview:

Looking for a Upgraded 5 speed package for your Land Rover Defender?  Here is the Cummins R2.8 Crate engine with Tremec TR4050 and adapter kit for the factory LT230 transfer case.  The Cummins R2.8 is a great fit for the 90 and 110 platform and upgrading to the TR4050 will give the truck a stronger driveline than factory for extreme offroading.  The beauty of the TR-4050 over the NV4500 is it weight and smooth car like shifting.  This installation kit has been developed with Jagspeed Motorworks allowing the builder to reuse many factory Land Rover parts including the transfer case shifter, unmodified transmission tunnel, and parking brake.

The Quickdraw Brand Cummins R2.8 TR4050/LT230 kit allows the installation of a Tremec TR4050 transmission and Land Rover LT230 transfer case into a Land Rover Defender.  Besides the Cummins R2.8 crate engine, the kit comes with the TR4050 to LT230 adapter, mounting brackets, shifter mount and linkage, custom TR4050 shift Lever, and other hardware listed below.  Customer supplies the transfer case shifter assembly off their existing rig, the square mounting plate that bolts to the side of the LT230, and the left-hand frame bracket from a V8 Discovery (also used on any Defender with an LT85 or LT95 transmission).  Due to the added width of the TR4050, an R380 transmission cover and seatbox are required.  This is a bolt-in application, using the existing 3 triangular-pattern transmission mounting holes in the Defender Chassis.  The Shift levers fit thru the factory shift boot; as shown in photo, and use the stock R380 shift knob.
