transmision clunk

<< < (2/3) > >>

extreme90:
take the propshaft off,
in the center of the flange off the diff there will ( depends on diff ) be a bolt or a castle nut and split pin,

see if they are loose or you can tighten them up, altho i cant see it being that as you would be getting a oil weap/leak from the seal there as the pinion would be wobbling around (not much by couple of mm) but its enough to let oil past and to ware the seal out

thanks again chaps, im thinking along the lines of backlash in diffs, maybe tran box think i will let it develop more, dont think its about to let me down its just annoying...cheers Iain

thermidorthelobster:
Is it an LT77 box?  In which case is it the classic input shaft lubrication problem?

Coastcard:
If it is the input/output shaft issue, you can just replace the cog in the transfer box for a crossdrilled one £50-60 from Ashcrofts. I appreciate that the output shaft on the gearbox will also be worn, but I caught it on my 200tdi before it was too knackered and the new cog stopped the worst of it.

electricbluebadger:
A quarter of a turn in the props!!!!!!!  :shock:

That'd definately cause a bit of a clunk.... are you sure its that much????

thats as bad as my Series 1..... you soon get used to pulling away with the right amount of clutch release :)

Still worth removing the output shaft cover for a quick look.. just in case the output shaft / gear is on its last legs as this will suddenly fail and leave you stranded...

Cheers Steve
