isbjorn Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hi. A new question that started with my renovation of the transfer box. Is it normal to have so much play in the front prop shaft (ruffly 5-10 cm, check the video)? When i move the prop with my hand the gears in the transfer box moves as well. (the rear prop shaft is fixed). This should indicate that the prop shaft is okay, but something else is severely worn. Or am I completely wrong? Since Im stripping the transfer box i might as well try to fix this to. I dont know what should stop the motion, but I guess its the front axel hub that should do it, and that its bearings are worn out? Its a defender 110 1992, 300TDI, LT230T, 4 cyl 1.4:1 video no 1: http://www.norly.com/propfront.mov thankful for some thoughts. (Since I think this is a new subject im starting a new thread. The other one with transfer box without oil is here. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopi...p;#entry409176) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 check the splines between the gearbox output shaft and the transfer box input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isbjorn Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Is it only your front prop or both? It seams weird that one can move the transfer gears and not the other. Ill start researching this next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacbug88 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 when i removed both the prop shafts and turned the transfer case by hand the fwd turns nearly 3/4 of a turn before the aft one starts to turn thanks for your replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwcooper Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Ive just noticed your video.....didnt see that before There always is a certain amount of slack in the transmission but it does look odd how one end moves and the other doesnt. Will check mine this weekend. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
