Hi
I know that Land Rover gearboxes like to make a little noise - but my one is really going to far. The best discretion is the noise you get when reversing hard in some cars - that whirring noise. It kicks in at 25MPH and then gets louder and louder.
You can also recreate it by putting the transfer box in to neutral - and revving up.
In low ratio it happens at a lower speed.
Pressing the clutch makes no difference.
It tends to be worse under load.
It is an R380 Gearbox from 1996, but an original 1989 transfer box. The gearbox has been changed - but it didn't fix the problem.
Most of the bearings on the transfer box are new.
My guess is that it is the input gear in the transfer box - but can this gear make this noise? And will getting a replacement one from Ashcrofts fix teh problem?
I know that I really should live with it - but I have been doing for almost a year now - it it means we do no long journeys in the 110 and conversations just can't happen. I am also worried that something worse might happen.....
Any ideas or thoughts?
Thanks,
Henry, Exeter.
