finaly found out why i get so much vibration. tcase outputs are lose.
what would i need to do to fix this? i do have rockhopper gears in so does that mean they will need replacing too?

i do know its hard to say without looking at it and pulling it apart

thanks

what exactly is loose? If its just the flange nuts then just tighten them up.

Tcase ouputs are loose?? But you cant crack the nuts?? Mmmm i think you need a bit more of a clear description as B4T asked what exactly is loose?

the put flange where the driveshaft bolts too they are lose both front and back

the main nuts that bolt the flange to the shaft then the tail shaft is bolted to the flange correct? iv never heard both of them coming loose or they were never done up in the first place?

yes i just thinking is there anything inside the tcase that could be worn out? bearings maybe?

I don't think the flanges on the output shafts should be loose, particularly if you can't crack the nuts. Does the flange move independantly of the output? Or do they both move indicating the issue is inside the case?

The issue isn't because the slip joint in the driveshaft is over-extended and allowing it to move around is it?

shafts is fine i did cheak that.

i think it could be inside the case. if i move the front one i can see it move in the back. taking it out tomrow to see and will probably open it up and have a look. only thing i can think of is the bearings are shot?

anyone know of an exploded view of the tcase?

Sounds like your transfer just has some gear backlash.

yes the tcase has got some play in the gears. but how much is normal i wouldnt know. it vibrates realy realy bad epecially when accelerating and downshifting into 2nd.

ive got series 1 rockhoppers gears (84% low) in it and want to get series 4 (187% low) so to fix my problem if its just a matter of changing gears then i am all in for it. does the rockhopper gears replace everything inside?

Can anyone tell me what size nut it is on the back of the transfer case flange ? My 28mm socket is an average fit but with the CRC and breaker bar on it is starting to slip and round the nut off
