Have you checked that the breather is not blocked on your transfer box ? As this could cause it to leak as pressure will build up as it warms up. I have had this with a diff on a previous Defender. 2005 Td5 90 XS

I have checked the breather and no luck.

Hi
It's not a bad to take gear box out, worse part is the transfer box as its heavy, and really badly balanced! If your using a lift, and gearbox jack, its a doddle, but if your on your driveway laying on your back with a trolley jack its a different story! I would recommend having another pair of hands at the ready, for the lifting of the T/box. As you say, either Ashcrofts for the shaft, or a genuine one with all the bits to do the job will set you back around £140 The syringe they supply is a molybendium type grease, Use it all!!! That's why these shafts are failing, Up to you how far you go replacing other parts, depends what it all looks like on inspection. Clutches are straight forward, no dramas there, change everything while your there, just make sure you have all the correct parts before starting. On all the ones I have done, new shaft, new clutch, customer feedback is good, saying it feels much better, and smoother. Can't remember torque figures off the top of my head, but do have them at work so I will have a look. Ian 80" 80" 86" 88" 90" Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered. |

There are several threads on this subject including photos and instructions (search for "output adaptor shaft" or similar).
It's impossible to say how long a shaft will last. At one extreme I have heard of less than 15k miles from new, mine I serviced when changing the clutch at 150, 000 miles and it was a better fit than the new parts I'd bought just in case. Lubricated on assembly you are unlikely to have trouble with the standard parts but the Ashcroft solution is very tempting and makes sense if you do a high mileage. A snatch when taking up drive could however come from anywhere in the driveline, so check halfshafts, drive flanges, diffs, and propshafts before dropping the box. |

is the snatch on take up there pretty much every time or occasional.
I would imagine that if the half shafts for example were worn it would be every time? Assuming I interpreted what a service manager told me correctly (and it seemed to make sense to me) related to the clutch springs. as is common knowledge these can rattle but it was suggested these can also stick. to my mind that would give a sensation of snatching / possibly similar to what's being discussed here? |

Mine is going in on Mon for this job. I reported a knock from the drivetrain after completing less than 1K miles. after 3 visits to the dealers for this issue, they have admitted there is a fault and it needs a new output shaft. Currently my 110 is sat on 11K miles 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |
