Disco-Ron Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I have just today driven my 90 that is now powered by a discovery 3.9 v8 efi auto. There appears to be quite a bit of slop between on and throttle. .. Unsure if it's slop in the transfer box itself or from the input side. .. do these suffer with such things. And do they fail. Or do people just live with it. .. ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Possibly the chain if a Borg Warner transfer box...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Sorry. I should have said. .. its the lt230 from the discovery that supplied the engine and box. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Could be the transfer box, hub members, half shafts, diffs.......or all of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Its not axle related as it was fine before it became auto. .. do the auto boxes have the same sort of input shaft as the manual ones... I'm wondering if the input gear/output shaft might be worn..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanger Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 does it have the rubber donut? does it have worn uj's and half shafts in the axles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It is possible, yes, though you can replace the output shaft by undoing a single bolt in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 No donut and axles are tight... ish. Fully suspect output shaft and input gear.... Hopefully it'll last a while..... need to recover from assembling an entire 90 onto a bare chassis in 8 weeks flat.... Oh. And going to work in the meantime...
