I used to have a whine that started in 3rd, got worse in 4th and worse again in 5th, that was the diffs remarkably.

I could see how the rear layshaft bearing would give a drone in higher gears whereas I'm pretty sure the lower gears are nearer the front which COULD explain why I had a quack quack quack noise at lower speeds in low gears?!

Hopefully my whine will stop now I'm doing the front diff. Going to follow Gods, (jamesmartin) how to thread when changing the transfer box output bearing.

Is it me or does anyone else feel inadequate due to his knowledge.:D:D

I dunno I outsmarted him about flywheel casings the other day ;)
 
To do taper you'd need a full set of measuring bars and ball bearings like we have at uni then do aome trigonometry ;) but there might be an easier way!

And so the gearbox is back in!! :D

Got it built, bolted and mounted and both props fitted, with a new UJ in the rear along the way.

Filled up with oil and connected breathers, cooler and handbrake.

Still need to fit gearbox crossmember and exhaust sections.

Started it up but couldn't hear the box anyway.

Did you know that if you rev a Rover V8 right up with just headers fitted it sound a absolutely superb?! :D
