Transfer box problem
Recently picked up a vibration on the front prop shaft - most noticable on acceleration.

While trying to see if this also happens in low range, diff-lock engaged, etc - the selector lever got unstuck. Could manage to disengage diff-lock, but lever is now floating around.

Got vehicle to mechanic who has been sitting with it for a week now - apparently waiting for spare part/s. Whistle

How easy is it to fix/recondition transfer box ?? Big Cry

Transfer box exchange is fairly straight forward - unitil I got to that bit - I was thinking U joint bearings had gone. Might still be worth a look.

Feed-back
After numerous visits to Defender "fundis" eventualy located problem - fly wheel. Apparently the TD5 Defenders have a fly-wheel which absorbes power from clutch to final drive train. Almost like a second clutch. This thing was completely worn and explained the vibration on pull-off.

This was replaced as well as clutch plate and thrust bearing - according to repairer this is common on high km vehicles (mine is 187000 km's) and with regular heavy towing (which I do not do).

Well after almost R10k the job is done and vehicle drive smoothly again.

Now need to sort out shimmy on steering when taking right turn and hitting bump in road. Defender TD5 110 CSW 2000 British Racing Green (what 's remaining between scratches).

I have the same to do to my 90 (flywheel and clutch) Judders when pulling away worse when towing. Mine has only covered 34,000 miles.
