If I use a later 1995-1999 Disco LT230 I understand I need to change the output shaft on the zf (1993 RR) to the later FTC5090. How hard is this to do with the trans still in the car? Thanks!   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 1459 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 01:23 pm:    Easy - one bolt on end of output shaft and it slips right off. New one goes on just as easily. Bill   Geoff 93 RRC (Geoff) Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 234 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 03:02 pm:    Thanks Bill. Any seal to worry about or just reinsert the new shaft?   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 1465 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 03:55 pm:    Oil seal in tailshaft should be fine. It is not disturbed really when you remove outputshaft.
