range rover transfer box

fezzy192:
i have removed the front propshaft and all the clunking has stopped i am now looking for another transfer box

ChrisV8:
If it was clunking have a look at the prop joints as they may be worn now, daughters had worn away one of the cups almost completely and it was banging about somewhat she was very lucky it didn't come apart.

Also i would advise you to check the cv joints as they take some hammering if the viscous seizes.

Also be careful with right pedal as all the power is now going to one axle and the half shafts might not like it too much !

--- Quote from: "ChrisV8" ---You can change just the viscous as others have said. It's not difficulyt just fiddly as you have to take off one of the gearbox mounts, it's bolted to the Viscous unit housing. Getting the propshaft off can be a pain but using a Difflock propshaft socket makes it easier.

Alternatively yes you can put a manual locking transfer box on but you will need all the linkages for that and time to mess about putting them in.

You need to check if it's seized by looking at the Ashcroft link, it mainly works through the front axle so thats the one to lift and try to turn. Get it sorted though, daughter drove hers for too long and took out, propshaft joint, and cv in the front axle, it turned the shaft in the cv and I cannot get it apart it has welded itself together. Shaft cost about £300.00 !!!!! I also have just bought a Rangie with goosed viscous that has taken out the chain drive so it is undrivable.

if you paid £300 for a shaft & cv joint you were robbed


jack up one front wheel & using a bar with a socket on a wheel nut & try turning the wheel, the wheel should turn slowly but it will turn, otherwise if it dont turn its gimped

ChrisV8:
aaah didn't say that was what I paid, but if you look on Paddocks or Craddocks that what the shafts are new !

What I did was bought another axle and robbed the bits out of it, total cost £40.00. That's the best bit of LR ownership you can always find the parts you need secondhand.

Yes, but don't forget to put the transfer box in neutral!
