Lo peeps,

Basically had some slack in drive train for a while now, got it booked in for monday to go on ramps to see whats occuring, anyway apparently theres a fair bit of play in transfer box and been told by the guy that it will cost £1000 to get fixed i.e new input shaft or something?! Then went to a different guy who said it could just be a flange on the front end causing slack.

Anyway does £1000 sound right? if it is the transfer box is there a cheaper route than paying that ammount to get it fixed? :(

Cheers
 
Sounds mega dear actually

A fully rebuilt Transfer box is about 500 quid, 30 of oil and 3 hours labour max to fit

Hes well paid at a grand
 
why not just get a second hand transfere box
plenty on the go
got them here but sure you could pickone up
nearer to you
regards

Cheers bash, mike.

Thing is all i need to do is find out where the fcuk the clunk is coming from!! took rear prop off yesterday turns out rear diff seems fine, no movement in A-frame joint, rear prop UJ seems good. apparently theres meant to be no play in transfer box? so i got told.. None of the gears crunch or any sht like that. All i wanna do is take it to someone that knows what theyre talking about without getting fking ripped off.

he would be talking about wear in input gear in transfer box which also means mainshaft splines on the output of gearbox would also be worn ,to fix used to mean recon gearbox and transfer box ,which would easily cost 1k ,often just a gearbox and input gear was really needed ,they could fit 2nd hand but a garage would be reluctant to supply and fit ,as 2nd hand gearboxes were often as poor ,lr produced a cross drilled input gear which cured this fault most vehicles ive seen have this now ,you could check spline condition by removing pto cover from rear of t/box

Are you sure the clunk is in the drive train, have you checked the A frame ball joint etc.
 
yea as much as I can, i put a metal bar under it and it didn't move, if that was the right way of going about it. I've just explained to james in pm that when I bought the car there were 2 of these LAND ROVER TRANSFER INPUT GEAR BEARING TIMKEN FRC5564G | eBay in the glove box and the guy mentioned something about play, and asked james if it could be that these need fitting? im CLUELESS, actually thats an understament lol
