Post by mudmacaca »

Whent wheeling today and the transfer is making a clicking sound where the front tailshaft connects.
Any ideas on what has happened?

Is that all I was thinking worse

It was'nt turning the front wheels so I thought it may have stripped the spline or was missing a few teeth

Thats a very different problem description than your origonal post.

If the front shaft isnt turning and its definantly in L4/H4 then your problem is much more serious than a bearing im afraid.

i really have no idea, but it could be something as minor as the gear not engaging fully. but i would think it will be something major, gear shredded or something.

have you done a body lift, exact same thing happened to my 60 afert the body lift, 4wd was working for about 3 months after the lift then one time it just stopped when i was out in the bush, found out that the shifter wasnt fully engaging into the transfer teeth and it stripped the edge of the teeth off. i have since manually shifted it from under the car and it is fine for the moment, try disconnecting the 4wd linkage and manually shifting it

No body lift but found out today that there is a spring lift. And a broken engine mount.
Thought it could be the the manual locking hubs NO maybe a CV NO perhaps the spider gears NO What about the tailshaft spline NO. Have since stripped the whole front diff and found NOTHING.

I hope you are right maybe the shift is getting knocked out when it all twists due to the broken engine mount will look at this tomorrow.

Rebuild the front diff and put a new engine mount in was about to take it for a test but cant get the fill plug on the diff undone :cry: So it will have to wait till tomorrow and a big nut will be welded on to the plug and we will see

just try welding directly to the fill plug first

the heat is often enough to break the seat in the thread

Well unless youve already stripped the hex on the plug, if you weld directly to the centre of the plug, it will heat up the plug and usually crack the thread. Then you put your (21mm?) spanner on it and it will come very easily (surprisingly easily).

If that dosnt work weld the nut to it as you were planning and swing a big bar off it.
