andyjim Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I have the typical problem of tyres scrubbing on the outside edge, front wheels skipping on full lock and tyres squealing in car parks. Can I change the viscous coupling without changing the transfer box. I don't want to change the box unless neccessary because the transmission is very quiet so I assume the boxes are ok. Also, if it is possible, is it a big job or would I be better of changing the transfer box anyway. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't appear to be a big job, although I've never done it.Review the Ashcroft Transmissions site, http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/part_26.html and follow the links.

andyjim Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks for your help. I have found one on the net for £280. All I need now is some decent weather to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
