Sloppy Transmission

(1/2) > >>

Mace:
Replaced the U/J's on my front prop last week and noticed a sizeable amount of rotational play on both front diff pinion and transfer box output shaft. Gives me a klunk if i let the clutch out quick. I'm not too bothered by it but...

Question, what causes this amount of play, what is worn and what can I do to remove it ? I'm being specific here so I'm hoping I'll get more info than just a new diff or transfer box.

Cheers

try ramming a dislocation cone between the prop and the transfer box casing to take up the slack - that might do the trick.

I dont think Andys talking to me anymore  :cry:

Budgie:
On the Diff it could be anything from excess backlash on the bearings, worn splines on the diff or driveshafts through to worn teeth on the ring & pinion.
It may also be worn splines on your wheel hub drive flange or play in the CV joints.  :?

As for the transfer box, sorry not up to scratch on those so your guess is as good as mine!  :D
