A nice one for your weekend

took out the 72 rrc for a run in the country/light laning today.out of town

all was well for the first bit then on the main A road I was up to about 50 and put it in overdrive , all was fine for a while and I was up to 60 the I heard a lot of clattering. I thought it was the new exhaust at first as stu couldnt get it to fit very well and it does rattle a bit on bumps, but it then stopped and all was quiet.

Anyway about 10 miles later on another long A road I was again at about 50 or 60 , over drive on and the clattering was back , took it straight out and all was quiet so I assumed I had overdrive problem

Just to throw you off though I carried on for about another 5 miles in 4th and got up to around 65 and it started again but I had not touched the overdrive this time. I pulled over looked underneath and all seemed normal.

drove on a small side road through all the gears, all was well. went laning (gently) all was well drove home in 4th most of the way keeping below 55 and all was well.

Got home and through right lets try to replicate it! took it for a thrash all gears fine and up to 60, then over drive in at 65 and it did it once only and wouldnt the other times overdrive on or off.

I wont have a chance to get to this till next weekend now so I need all ideas please guys!

its an Lt95 4 speed, obviously with overdrive. I did all the fluids when I rebuilt her and its done one all day laning trip no bother since and some local work but this is the first problem with the driveline.

I know the overdives like to give there oil to the transfer box and this will be checked first next weekend.

it seems all three boxes are quet and as they should be untill the clattering which is intermittant. sounds like your belt is wrapped round the propshaft and hitting the exhaust lol

reminds me of one of the best lines I've ever read on LZ

it was during one of those ''send the fookers home'' treads, think fett showed his true self, also showed what a numpty he was by posting some racisit ****e under a new name and expecting peeps not to notice that it was him

or maybe he did really mean out **** ?

That would of course also mean your rear prop was loose.

I am going to get under it next weekend and try everything that coule be loose and look for swarf and or oil in the overdrive

well I couldnt wait to get it sorted so I cancelled todays plans and got it up blocks

You will love what I found the cause to be- I did anyway it turns out the hose clip on the gater for the front prop had come loose and was beeating the fook out of the collector at high rpm

It did give me a chance to check out the overdrive which I will put in a seperate post so please have a read
