andy1969 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Had a knock from my 110 CSW for sometime now when coming off and taking up drive. Can't find anything loose, initially I thought it was the usual easy fix suspects and finding wear in the axle drive members and rear prop these have been replaced. The knocking is still there and seems to be getting worse. Recently on a few occasions it's been REALLY bad, knocking repeatedly usually when coasting upto junctions or shifting into low gear - doesn't happen all the time though. My transfer box leaks (suspected intermediate shaft from reading the forums, and also from the rear output shaft seal. Can't feel play in the bearing but I've changed this seal 3 times, latest last weekend (and now the drive flange) yet still it leaks after a few days motoring. I'm keen to get this sorted as the Landy is taking me and the wife to the Isle of Wight in a months time. My transfer box is the prime suspect, with 150,000 miles on it should I be thinking recon unit or is that a drastic solution? - could do without the expense. Am I even looking in the right place for the source of the problem? Any advice gratefully received gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Does it make the knock when you come on and off the accelerator relatively quickly? I would look at the backlash in the diffs, and this was what gave me an intermittent knocking. (if you dont know, its the gap between the pinion turning and it moving the crownwheel ).

andy1969 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yeah, the knock's most prominent when quickly coming on and of the power, tends to be more prominent in lower gears too. Is the backlash easy to check & correct if its wrong?, not done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyNissanPrairie Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 worn output shaft splines on the gearbox/transfer box input gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g90 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 ditto, the gearbox output shaft on mine gives a mighty knock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'll add another to the ditto! It's easy enough to check by removing the inspection plate on the back of the transfer box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
