93 discovery 200tdi manual
was driving back home last night stopped at a junction then pulled away just changed into 2nd gear heard a bang/loud clonk then i had no drive what so ever tryed all the gears still nothin tryed all settings in transfer box to and dident get anything either...
looked under her today got a mate to put it into gear n pull away and prop shafts dident even attempt to turn at all..

im confused the clutch was not slipping at all so could it be the gearbox or transfer box? or something else?
HELP!!! its my only vehicle at the moment

Ps im new to here so hi to u all.

Hi sounds like youve stripped the splines off the mainshaft on the back of the box. Take the round cover off the rear of the transfer box (about 8 17mm bolts) and pull the input gear out. have a look at the spline inside this and inside the transfer case.
If your box is original without an oil flinger or cross drilled input gear this is a common problem.
could be a new box mate! check it out first.
the centre could have come out of the clutch plate also. but check the mainshaft first.

ah by the way the gear stick feels fine and when u change the transfer box it makes the normal noise too?

Have you tried engaging difflock?? you may have snapped an half shaft. Though1 propshaft should have ben spinning?

in what way is it nackerd if its in the way tig9619 says then you will need more than a transfer box

martinl · Feb 15, 2009

That transfer box post was done at the same time as my last one, hadnt seen it... if youre struggling to get it off though i'm surprised. have you removed the gearbox drive gear? stupid question i suppose, of course you have.. then a few bolts, 5 i think, two on the front face, three or maybe four on the back....

na its the transfer box i baught the landy for pennys the other day knowing something was wrong with it.. after the transfer box went i drained the oil out to begin removing it and managed to squeeze about a tablespoon of the thickest blackest oil i have ever seen in my life no wonder it went rly

jake04551525 · Feb 20, 2009

nice one. how were the splines on the mainshaft out of interest? did it have a cross drilled input gear?

the splines were lovely after i cleaned them up. the bloke who i baught it from had neglected it for so long and not put any oil in it.. ever... :doh: the oil had prety much turned to rubber around the input shaft when i took it off which was more than likely the reason y i had trouble getting it off. no it dident seem to have a cross drilled input gear..

just got to sort out the other loud clunk from the front now either uj's or diff i think

Tig9619 · Feb 20, 2009

if you do a lot of miles it would be worth putting the gear in to make sure the splines get a good oil feed. think the are around £50.
surprised they were good if there was ****ty oil in there as they can wear very fast.

i couldent believe my luck when i checked the splines and it cost me £100 for the transfer box with a 90 day warranty

i do alot of miles where is the best place to get the oil feed stuff and the stuff to repair the diff?

Ashcrofts do the cross drilled gear. There are two versions - make sure you get the correct one.
