^^^ the sooner the better, yes.

Pulled a 2015 one apart and it was dry too.

This is a pic of my RRV 6hp26 output shaft that failed at about 240,000 for that very reason.

I have been told that I need to replace mine in my 2010 2.4 with 72k on the clock as it is noisy and needs to be done before going bush in June. I have been waiting a couple of weeks now for Ashcroft to get them back into stock.

I am going to follow them up again as they were due in the week before last.

If anyone is interested Ashcrofts MT82 adapter they now have them back in stock on their website.

Not to hijack the thread, but
Does anyone in know who rebuilds transfer boxes here in Perth. Id like to have the hardened bush machined in, all bearings done and the Ashcrofts cross pin put in, all seals done etc etc AND new clutch, thrust bearing put in (mine sounds like helicopter) AND of course while its apart do the adapter coupling replaced again, but with Ashcrofts.

It never ceases to fascinate me how at 77000km I need to do this. The transfer case is leaking like a sieve .

This has been an informative post . As the old saying goes learn something new every day . The design of a shaft to mate the gear box to the transfer case is a poor by modern automotive standards . To Assembly them with little or no grease is even worse . Many of us on this site are Land Rover devotee's and put up with lots of little problems . I never had a problem rolling up my sleeves and fixing things that many other people can't , or wont do . So to learn that my transfer box should come out to put a dollop of grease is not sitting every good with me !!.. Jim ..

Thanks for the great synopsis. I'm a new-ish puma owner so really this summary and potential remedy. Thanks for creating this thread which I will now follow with interest. Ive only done 7000kms in mine, but sont want an early drive failure like pickles.
