hi , on my r reg 2.5dt auto the transfer box is peeing oil out , the bottom of the box is covered the oil looks very metalic dripping off the cross member , if i need another box are all transfer boxes the same ie petrol or diesel , manual or auto ? thanks in advance colin
 
Manuel auto i would think is different, wouldn't have so many gears in the auto i would think

petrol or diesel would i think be the same but im no expert

Just a thought, strip it and put new gaskets in all around that will solve the leaking

If it's metalic looking you have a problem it should be transmission fluid.
 
i guess i have a big prob thats why i ask about the boxes all being the same am in search of another transfer box

Weirdly, been doing some research on this and a transmission firm called Ashcroft, recommend changing the transfer box, auto or manual, at around 100k miles, :eek:

It is a good site and has DIY kits for self maintenance of simple stuff. Worth a look as give a lot of information on the boxes and other transmission things.
 
did have a look at site and looking at the price will prob get one from them rather than the second hand route
