Sebastian Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Is it normal to have some noise (apparently from transfer) when I reach 40-50mph? I am using 80-90 lubricant. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I can't hear anything over the tyre noise and general engine clatter at 40-50mph - let alone any transmission noise! Is the 'box oil level OK? Might be worth having a look at state of the oil and see if it gives any clues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Chua Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Try put the box into neutral with the engine running and drop the main box into 5 and let off the clutch. does the box rattle? yes, you have a problem there. if not, it's the prop shaft, U-joints or even the diff.

cackshifter Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Also, remember it's normal for all moving parts of Land Rovers to emit noise (and lots of it), even when new. Be more alarmed at sudden increases or changes of noise. Even if you do have a noisy box it might run for quite while. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Idling and in neutral my gearbox makes an awful bearing noise, and if I put the transfer in neutral and clutch up in gear it's even worse When it breaks I'll fix it, until then I'm just going to keep the oils in check and take it gently.

I'm sure the boxes didn't do that from new. i've tried when i got my Td5 at new and i didn't have this terrible rattling noises. yup, gentle on the clutch, no harm will be done. if you can ignore the whine, it will drive well. if not SGD$2k will fix it.
