Ashcroft MT82 Output shaft kit - step by step guide?
Gidday all,

I'm noticing not so much noise, but the feel of backlash when coasting and backing on and off the accelerator (the sound of backlash greatly reduced when I did my halfshafts/CV recently).

I know it could be the diff or props (which I will get to eventually) but it 'feels' gearboxish to me. Anyways, I'm looking at the Ashcroft MT82 Output shaft kit:

Interested to hear your stories in installing one and how much it improved the feel (let alone improved a complete failure!). I've never gone into the gearbox or transfer, what don't I know ? Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

Ok, read all that.

Interesting info, especially regarding how to tell if you're likely fretting (the red dust telltale).

Perhaps this thread can be resurrected by being a request for a step by step/'how to' install? Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

Hi all,

After the failure of my transfert box at 115000km I replaced it with a new Transfert box from ashcroft with sleeve casing and ATB inside, I altough replaced the clutch who was making some rattle because of a little spring going out, and finally I installed the ashcroft output shaft system. The old one was very dry probably installed without any grease. I will let you know about this setup, but what I can tell you is that it totaly supressed the horrible "Klong" noise when I was changing a gear. The only thing I can hear now is a little continuous noise of whistling, but I'm not sure if it comes from the transmission or maybe it's just my turbo that I didn't hear before that anymore.

Best regards

Hi Okan,

My gearbox went after 153.000 last weekend. Just looking at the options available.
I saw Ascroft's what is meant by a sleeved casing (I saw that on the options list too)?

Best regards

Hi, You chaged CV-joints & half shafts?
In my 07 90 was the rear half shaft splines quite worn. Same with all drive shaft flange splines.
I changed rear half shafts and all drive flanges. Also I installed the Ashcroft output shaft kit.
Perhaps I should check the pinion back lash.

I think the Puma clutch is more on/off than 300Tdi. Actually I like th 300Tdi 90 Defender much
more than the Puma. Somehow there is more character in the 300Tdi. Brgds,

Juha
