Post by 95shorty »

It has been known to happen - yes. Although I don't think it's common. I was also present when a Gen 3 stripped some gears in the transfer case - fortunately for him, under warranty.

Four wheels (Driving) good, two wheels bad.

not 100% but the whole combo would require the free wheeling hubs to be fitted.

Is the gearbox shagged as well as the transfer? if it is just the transfer then whay re you looking to replace both?
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
