rear diff mystery!!!???

(1/3) > >>

kevseabass:
I lost all drive on the rear axle and suspected a half shaft, i took them both out and they are fine, so must be the diff...but! when i put the shafts back in and pull them out loose by half an inch the diff works fine and the shafts seem to bite, i'm having trouble getting my head around this as if they bite when half an inch out why not when fully in. Just wondering why before i strip the diff. many thanks in advance  kev :huh:

bogie:
Put diff lock in,if it works then your transfer box is stuffed!

kevseabass:
that doesnt make sense as the transfer box has nothing to do with the rear diff aslong as it provides a turning prop shaft which it does so the transfer box works fine

bogie:
Its called elimination,it rules out transfer box problems.Cant be bothered to explain how they work if you dont know.If you put diff lock in and there is no power to either axle,then the box is stuffed. If both axles have power then your diff is stuffed,something could have come a drift.

Range Rover Blues:
24 spline or 10 spline?

Either way it sounds like your splines are worn out and TBH it's a bigger problem with high-mileage 24 splines than 10s because not only are the splines smaller but they are traingularin section so contact at an angle unlike the 10s.  Splines always wear a little due to the floating nature of the axles, sounds like yours are too far gone.
