happy new year guys ! well great start im having, think i have transmission gremlins i have a slight vibration when driving along and to go with that i can only describe it as a loud whuring noise every nown and then like a vuscos fan stuck in the locked possision. if you hold the accelerator down the nosie gets louder if you let off and go back on it goes away, had a troll threw the internet and people say transfur box any one here had this problem and fixed it.

thanks josh

What happens exactly? What speeds or rev range does the noise occur? High speed? Is the sound still there when you drop it in to nuetral whilst travelling at the speed you can hear it at?

thank for the reply joe, it is all diffrent speeds it can accure when i have pulled up at a set of lights then pull away. havent tryed knocking it into nutural.

I've just fixed my transfer box.
Does it whine if you moving along then slip into neutral. Switch engine off too. Newbie near Chorley.

no mate doest jump into nutural or turn off sum times is slightly clunky on gear changes. ive only realy got worried since this noise i have the tdv8 and it is louder than the engine when it happens. i have bought gearbox oil to do a flush to see if that helps but if its the transfur box im looking at big££

Seriously. I found doing the work myself quite easy. Was the rear output bearing to the rear prop shaft. Never attemted one before. Took me approx 9 hours over a few nights.
Otherwise would have been a large bill 😳 Newbie near Chorley.

if it was a transfer box i was jist going to get a 2nd hand one and replace my self. what symptoms did you have with yours budy?

First of all sounded like wheel bearing whine, but after more driving it started to get louder.
If you can get under the car, undo the rear prop flange from the transfer box and give it a turn by hand, you will notice if its , and if you need to make sure its that take the front one off to compare the bearings.

Hey Joe (Welderman)

Was the whine always present through all speeds or just certain speeds? Was a it only on acceleration?

just about notice at slow speeds, but around 40 louder and louder as you move faster.
Sounded a lot like an old ford diff lol Newbie near Chorley.

well today i had a boost pipe slipt to add to my troubles no biggy i found which one it is, back to the issue if i knock it into nutural when i hear the noise it stops.

I'd always start by draining the oil and re-filling. Check the oil to see if it's burnt or otherwise degraded. Bodsys Brake Bible

i have diff oil gearbox and transfer box oil to change all of them im hopeing that will solve my issue if not where is best to get a recon trani box or a good second hand one ?

Josh I think Welder mans onto something. I've seen posts of people changing diffs etc and it never aolved the problem. If you change all oils and and it doesnt work I think Welder Mans bearing thing might be onto a winner as he mentions its just on light acceleration. I thought diffs made the noise on overrun too? Maybe wrong.

wile im underneth im going to remove the prop like welder man said and see how the bearings feel. its not a dif noise i dont think as it has only recently apeared and is defo gettin louder. thanks for ya help guys ill update when ive had a dig around
