the only thing I am unhappy with is the end float on the rear driveshaft ! it must be around 2mm! that seems excessive- anyone got any advise?

might have gone a bit ott but pleased with the result. not sure how the hell I will clean the floor but fingers crossed for the test drive as I hope I have cured the original issue - the snatch into second and third gear. I have also noticed a little weep from the joint between the gear and transfer box - can they be split on the vehicle or would you take the whole unit as a pair out to repair this! the clutch was replaced only 10k ago by previous owner.

I think so - is it a full box out job?

I tiled it with an industrial tile designed for garages - keeps the dust down

out or slid back enough to get you hand up, its best once new oring is fitted to run a bead of silcone sealant on the box side of the oring so its dragged in to the shaft hole

looking like a full box out as the grunt into second is still evident - gutted - box strip I am afraid!

Wow - I wish I had a F1 garage to spend my weekends, instead of the cramped mess I have

drove a mates 90 defender (2009) so same as mine - box is exactly the same as mine, quiet and fully operational but a little 'tug' into second gear. ok if a slow the gear change down, is this how they are? seems strange that two vehicles with dissimilar mileage and background have the same trait?
