Transfer box on way out now... ?

lil_gibbo89 · Feb 24, 2010

Hello rangie lovers !

New problem to my pride out on the drive.
When taking up drive in 1st and a a little in 2nd i hear a clunking noise like something is skipping its been getting worse over the past week whilst towing and pulling off on hills. Iv read on the forum lots about the transfer box but am a little concerned it could be splines on the drive shaft or something, anybody had same problem ?

Spec...1998 2.5 manual p38

Cheers

have you tried selecting low
and then pulling away

is the noise still there when in low?

lil_gibbo89 · Feb 24, 2010

ooo ill try then in about 20 mins when i go back out, if it does it in low what does that mean ?

lil_gibbo89 · Feb 24, 2010

Iv tried it in low box and it is exactly the same, any thoughts ?

Does it increase with speed? Bearings have been known to die on the transfer box.

Only if hard acceleration but when pulling off nicely its fine its just hard pulling off and pulling off with a load and does it slightly in second
