OK guys, I'm thoroughly confused with all this chat. Can anyone direct me to where I could find some reading material so I can educate myself on this subject? Are we talking transfer case or gearbox? I've always had a bit of a yearning to understand how gearboxes work but have no literature on the topic.
cheers gerald
yeah, I understand basic gearing but definitely no idea on auto boxes or even how manual boxes work. :P
Anyone got a vid of the truck with maxidrive gears in action? where you can actually hear the whine? Also what oils are poeple running with the maxi gears, as mentioned by DeeJay a good oil could make alot of difference to the noise.
here is a link to an album which has a vid of my fender."fender on commando". You can hear the reduction gear whine. Is it like this?

Sorry folks I'll try that link again. Look at the fender on commando & you will hear the whine of the reduction gears. Do yours sound like this bearing in mind some are louder than others.

There are photos on the net somewhere, although I have an old Maxi catalogue and I'm pretty sure there are photos in it that I can scan tonight/tomorrow.
For those complaining about the noise - try driving a series landie in low range ;) Same thing... straight cut gears.
I got mine as part of a group buy on outerlimits4x4. Contract MR Automotive for current pricing.Quote:

Thanx for your help
cheers Gerald
I have all the tech stuff that Mal listed in his catalogue here, tooth counts, part #'s, combinations, etc.
I'll scan it all and ask Simon or Pedro where's the best place to file it.
You have heard mine in low range.Quote:
