it will do just had a look at picture of intermediate gear ,the gear nearest rear of box is high gear its ****ed ,input runs on middle gear
 
if I can interject?

Million dollar Q, James - whats the likelyhood of the main gearbox being damaged?
fairly unlikely as input gear bearings are still intact,looking at picture of main t/box more likely intermediate bearings failed unless debris from blown center diff gears

Lots of metal filings in box both steel and bronze :(
 
I cannot believe Pikey not knowing the difference. Wait till the scrap man hears
 
I now has a replacement Transfer box.. Cheers to them what helped to get it over to me.. :D Will give it a bit of a clean and swap Handbrake and speedo head over this week and fit it Saturday.. (weather depending) :(
 
FFS I int happy. cleaned Transfer box up this morning. and removed old 200tdi handbrake assembly, Swapped speedo gizmo, and carried it over to the disco ready to start refitting. And Suddenly realised that the F**king input shaft oilseal was missing :doh: tried to remove the one from the crap Transfer box and mangled it up :frusty: So I still int got the thing refitted.. :mad: :mad:


However I did remove the sump plate and take out the intermediate gear cluster.

It looks like some moron over tightened the collapsible shim and allowed too much endfloat into the intermediate gear cluster. :mad:

tightening nut too far and crushing spacer too tight over loads bearings and would have no freeplay ,what are diff bearings like and intermediate bearings

Intermediate bearing seem ok I'm thinking they overtightened and then backed the nut off?? as there was movement in the shaft before I removed it.
 
Finally got it fitted and took it for a quick test drive The whistling noise has gone as well as the vibration that it's had since I bought it :0

I also finally got the Gearbox fill plug undone.. Bloody hell was it tight :mad: Which meant I could drain the gear box and refill it..

Do ya like me xmas tree..
