i have a question for you all, i towed my first MQ today on a car trailer with my new MQ and the whole journey was about 10k's. After that the gearbox whines in 3rd and 4th gear, it made some noise b4 but not this bad. I changed the oil in the box and transfer (which was empty) with new oil and it still makes a bit of noise under load but not as bad as just after my tow.

Have i slipped a sychro or something

can the car tow this much weight with out killing it

any help appreciated :)

Slipped Syncro??

Will tow loads OK.
Prob abit of wear on bearings due to being no oil in transfer.
If it gets no worse.....

I think your problem may lie hidden here >>> (which was empty) !!!!

may well pay to get a spare transfer ....... its just a matter of time now :finger:

yeah i had only had the car a couple of days and my plan was to do all that. i have another whole diesel MQ which i think has a good gearbox so i can take that one if need be.
