MikeD Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 This is a second fault (gearbox grating) on a vehicle that has been standing for a fair time. Speedo was working and, other than the wiring from the transducer to the clocks, nothing else has changed The odometer is working and as it is an electronic head I assume this makes it most likely to be the head unit itself Has anyone experienced this and found a fixable fault?

Nonimouse Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I take it this is an auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 correct 3.9 auto, flex drive to transducer, wire from transducer to speedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Are the flex plate bolts tight, and the plate itself not cracked? Really can't think of any other situation where you would get grating from an auto gearbox, given there is no meshing/unmeshing of gears to be done.

I have a spearate thread with a little more info on this https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/112833-range-rover-classic-39-auto-gearbox-grinding-in-neutral-and-park-but-ok-in-reverse-or-drive/ It came from a known working car and gearbox and engine weren't separated in the transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonimouse Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 First thing I would check is that you don't have an earth issue and it's earthing through the flex drive. Then I'f do what Bowie said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
