    New Transfer case goin' in....

    Folks - just thought I'd share this with other Puma owners.... Long story short - Drove to Katoomba at Christmas and whilst there I noticed some transmission slop that wasn't happening before along with a very faint noise - had a gander and found the prop shaft bolts going into Hand brake drum loose. Nipped up 2 of them - the others just spun - warranty job methinks; off to Austral motors on my return...

    Dealer rings today - changed over the nuts - all good now, but they could hear the slight noise too. Reckon it is the bearing in the transfer case. Getting new transfer case put in under warranty. And I thought Grover was all sorted now.

    So - if you hear anything, feel anything, even suspect anything - have a good look. My bearing would have likely lasted till well after warranty expires - but would have cost a bomb eventually.

    Hats off to Austral on this issue, I say.

    Input seal on my transfer case has been weeping for almost 12 months. Used about 250mL of Syntra in 6 months.

    Was supposed to be fixed in Darwin the other week, but that's another saga. Anyway parts should be in Gove soon so I can get it done in town.

    What is a stronger brand new transfer case that can be used instead of the ome model after warranty runs out ?
