transmission play

<< < (2/2)

James.Harwood:
Best way to find where your slak is, chock wheels, take off handbrake, make sure in neutral, get underneath and try turning rear prop.

If you get movement then it's the rear diff.

Try the same with it in gear and 1 back wheel jacked up, movement = gear box.

1/8 turn isn't bad. Can be more with an overdrive fitted.

Check OIL!!!!

Try turning the radio to full volume  :D

ian_s:
there is some slack in the rear diff/axle, i'm not worried about that, its the same as its always been.
the problem is when i try the test James says above, with the handbrake on theres not much play, when i take the handbrak off i can the prop rotate 1/8th of a turn, which i've never noticed before.
i do need to check the oil in the gearbox and transfer box, i havent done it since i MOTd it in May

James.Harwood:
1/8 of a turn is not bad.

Check your oil regularly and see what happens.
