4bitsofwood Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 There's a great post from White90 in the archives section, 1st class run thorough, but can anyone confirm to me if, on a 2011 2.4 puma engined Defender it's possible to remove the transfer box separately, ie without taking the gearbox out as well. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yes it is While you have the transfer box out do check the condition of the splines on the adapter shaft that runs out of the main box to the transfer box as this is proving to be a common failure point due to lack of lubrication on assembly.

Jode Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 LR seem incapable of learning from the failures of their early vehicles, don't they. It's odd, isn't it. They had a perfectly good set-up for the hubs, with diff oil migrating out along the half shaft and lubing the drive member splines, and what do they do but put an oil seal in to stop this when they launched the Defender....

Rangy35 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Good advice on the splines, you are probably going to need new parts. Land Rover does learn........eventually..........have had transfer boxes out of four 2.2's and all four was lubed from factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
