Outer Limits 4x4 Board

took the zook out for a drive today and i noticed when its in 5th gear under acceleration it has a really bad noise coming out of it. anyone else had a problem likr this before?

its called oil..
gold is (can some times be black)
stinkin sticky crap..
should be some in your gear box..
check it

i've had that rattle for 5yrs change oil every year i'll fix it when it breaks

Squealing noise or a rattle?
Mine had a squeal/shriek when under acceleration, but only a little bit in fourth, and always in fifth.
I put in another transfer case for other reasons and it went away.
When it makes its little noise, put your hand on the transfer shifter and see if you can feel a vibration coming through it, or is it coming through the gearshift lever, or neither?

Try getting it up into 5th with the transfer in neutral. If it is still there it is probably gears. If not, it might be the transfer.

but wouldnt it be doing that in every gear, not just 5th?

like a scraping sound.. like someone draging a coathanger along the concrete

how do you mean? like in the driveway without actually driving it anywhere?

i has the same coathanger on concrete sound, turned out to be my aluminium transfer gear knob was a tiny bit loose and rattling.

but why would it only happen in 5th?

mine was noisey in most gears bar fourth as 4th is straight through best way i can explain it (least resistance)
rebuilt the box and she is sweet now

to make sure it is or isnt your transfer put the transfer in neutral and go through your gears. if the noise is there then it isnt your transfer..

5th was the only gear to have enough vibrations.

oh, i get ya

Yep, in the driveway.
It won't go anywhere, and there will be no drive coming through the transfer, so if the noise is still there, it probably isn't the transfer.

Mind you, it might not be there at all, even if it is not the transfer, as it might only happen under the load of pushing the vehicle. But still, it might eliminate one or two areas, and help narrow down the problem.

Puk

the noise is still there but no where as loud as when im driving.
im guessing it must be inside the gearbox?

Could be.
Does it go away if you slip the clutch in a little?

Puk

with the clutch in theres no noise at all.

and now that i think about it there is a similar noise in neutral but when i put the clutch in it goes away.

I'm not sure on this one, but do a search on thrust or throwout bearings. That might have something to do with it.
But i'm not sure seeing it is only a fifth gear thing.

Puk

thats what i was thinking originally, but what got me was it only happens in one particular gear
