Hi guys,
Today drove to Melbourne with the family and thought about this whilst driving.
Someone told me the MT82 does not like being pushed in 6th gear under load.
Now i know some pre 2010 boxes had some issues but was under the impression this was rectified.
I roll on 33s and to do 110kph in 5th up a hill is difficult as im sitting near on 3000rpm. It would be even worse on 32s.
As a result i sit on 110-115kph in 6th the whole way. I dont see how this could be bad for the box. Maybe if i was towing and close to max gvm but not with the family onboard and probably 2.5 ton all up.
Anyone have any info on this?
Anyone blown a post 2010 box??
If a mustang can hammer 6th gear with a chinese version of the same box how is it a defender cant?

Seems not all mt82 are the same either. Got a 130 2008 model that has done 220k now and gets a pounding in our hilly parts of tas. He says he now spends more time in 6th since the remap and he doesn't spare the horses 😎. In all of our customer base of deafeners not 1 trans issue yet. We DO insist on changing the oil in it at 60k max and only use BOT328....

Im the same in terms of my remap. I leave it in 6th on the higway all the time, i never downshift

I was told to never tow in 6th? I have driven up to Coffs and down to Wangaratta towing cars in 6th and haven't had any issues apart from towing an empty trailer 1000km and now i have a leaky transfer case input shaft.

Apparently all the new aschroft output shafts have been modified to stop leaking?

Ive seen the ashcroft ones leak most probably a fitting issue. The transfer case intermediate shaft and input seal is still an issue from the early lt230 days, seem worse in puma models is all.
I just refit new genuine coupling kits and pack them with moly grease.

I also find that the 2,4 Puma runs out of power at the 3000 rpm mark and the car is much happier a bit over 2000 rpm 6th gear which equates to a bit over 100 km/hr, Yes those pesky O rings, our transfer is leaking, enough to be annoying but not enough to require a top up on our last holiday where we covered 13,000kms.
On the intermediate shaft, has anyone tried Vitron O rings which are rated at a much higher temperature, or are they not suitable. I have noticed the OEM front O ring becomes hard to the point of being brittle (Hope I am not off topic)

Erich puma transfer leaks are NEVER off topic around here...😅
I guess a viton one woukd help as where you are it gets pretty hot!!!
Thec2.4 peak torque is well set for touring in top gear especially when remapped 😎

G'day all,
I have a 2011 2.4L Puma 110 wagon with BFG KO2's 235x85 16" tires.
My turbo was replaced last week and now (might be me) it feels/sound to be revving higher then usual.
At 70km/h in 5th its sitting just under 2000Rpm.
What are the rest of you guys getting with similar setup?
Thanks
