rmtucker Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Ok i bought a 1991 Discovery about 12 months ago. Ever since i bought it,there has been a terrible whining from the gearbox. The whining seemed to get worse in 3rd,4th,5th. It has never been a problem till today. I took the wife and daughter out for a bit fresh air today in weardale,whilst out the gearbox started to make a scraping noise while travelling slowly,just like grit in a disc brake if you know what i mean?. Anyway for the next 5mins there was all kinds of grinding and scraping. I switched the transfer box into neutral and the noise stops. But if i re-engage the tranfer box and the normal box it all comes back After that it has now settled down to a nasty whining and scraping,but managed to drive the 10miles back too crook without and major mishaps. My question is this, Should i just try and find a replacement box and transfer box? Or is it something i can repair? maybe an easy to reach bearing. Oh and a merry christmas too all. (Bah Hum Bug).
