       Hi I have got a problem with my transfer box I think in high
       range it is really noisy a harsh wining sound if Iput it in low
       range it is much quieter by comparison  is it possible to remove
       the transfer box without removing the gear box I will pull the
       pan off of it tomorrow and have a look inside any info would be
       great  thanks Bob

       They are usually much noisier in low range as that's a straight
       cut gear, so doesn't sound good
       I'm told you can take the transfer box off in situe. Not sure I
       would though, I would rather to take the box out

       Has it got oil in ? Has the main gearbox oil migrated into it
       and overfilled it ?

       any obvious sign of oil leaks from the drum of hand brake?
       the previous box did split the circlip that locates between the
       front output bearing and thrust for high gear wheel in the
       transfer case and caused lot of play i did imediately stop the
       landy for repairs i did all with it in place the two times.
       speedo housing and bottom plate had to come off and it was a
       squeeze. first fix lasted few months the second circlip lasted
       longer
       could it be work bearings? at high speeds spinning at higher
       rpm. and at lower speed spinning at lower rpms.
       my thoughts.

       I checked the wheel bearings yesterday when  changed the diff as
       Ithought that was the problem originally  it has got oil in
       it,is the excess play in the gears easy to see if the circlip
       has broken?

       Transfer box can come off without gearbox out , need rear brake
       drum and backplate stripping off to get intermediate shaft out.
       You still need to drain the gear box oil as there is a hole in
       back of case which is sealed by the transfer case.
       Whilst you have got the bottom plate off check the intermediate
       gears for excess movement on the shaft .
       In high ratio output shaft is turning much faster so if bearings
       have worn would be much noiser.

       Removed the plate today found s few small knicks on the hi ratio
       intermediate and out put gears but nothing much no lumps of
       swarfe floating around either but found a mark on the back face
       of the intermediate gear which corresponds with a stud
       protruding too far so removed the stud and trimmed it down a bit
       I just need to get some new shims now for the thrust washers as
       the endfloat seemed a bit excessive I'm guessing that wear on
       the thrusts has allowed the Intermediate gear to touch the stud
       which looks like it was too long at least it was longer than the
       others in that part of the transfer box does any one have the
       correct endfloat figures
