Fill it with oil too



You were on the east side of the traffic lights in traralgon right?, with bonnet up and a trailer, both me and a mate seen you there, i ussually stop for everyone on the side of the road, but was late for work (I work odd hours) and my mate was at work (he does deliveries) i'm spewing now, could of helped you out then, i told him about you and he mentioned the red one he saw with the bonnet up, I finally pu 2 and 2 together and though **** that was you

In yet??

Yeh, it's in.
Man is it noisy though. It doesn't just wine it howls.
Was thinking of trying some of that Nulon oil additiave to help. What do you think?

Iffen it's a howlin' then you have two options: get used to it or get ready to replace bits.

(Can I be as sheepish as to ask whether it has oil in it this time?)

I know shoot me. I'm a bad person.

I put about 1/2 a cup of Molybdenum Disulphide grease into a baulky/hard to sift into and out of Diff Lock in Hi and Lo.....it fixed the problem very well. You could try some to see if it helps the noise - it certainely won't harm it any!

BTW - didn't your TX Case overheat warning light go on when the box failed? .....if NOT make sure it's fully functional so that you don't have any future problems with it, or at least get some warning!

Keh?? that thing was as quite as a mouse, its only sat four about 4 months unused, i drove the wreck back from mornington then drove it for another week??and it was faultless, let me know what you find, full money back if its ****ed, the oil was spotless, even i was suprised to see how clean it was, which input gear did you use? got oil? fitted up well? didn't lever it in? I'm worried now

It fitted up well to the longer splined input shaft off the zf, but the seems to be a leak from around the main seal. Sould i have used gaxsket sealer there?
Should i have used the older short splined shaft?

Just to add to the fustration the starter motor isn't working as it should. The thrust pinion isn't coming out enough and is only half engaging the flywheel. What should i do???

I'm a little hesitant to how you've assembled it(No offence), and stick by my word of money back, it came of the back of a ZF, so the shafts and everything that was in that transfer should have been reused, as the gears wear into each other, kinda like a matched set but not, which main seal is it leaking from??
