HELP

My transfer gears are worn and making one hell of a racket and its
driving me mad!

Worse thing is, its worse at 30 / 40 MPH when driving around town on
low throttle.

Anybody got any cures that dont involve dismataling the engine?

cheers

Hi,
It is just possible to get to the gears with the engine in place, but the
engine has to be lifted off the mountings.It's likely that the bearings are
worn, which usually wears the shafts on the gear. I have seen a very bad
case where the bearings had collapsed completely and the gears had chewed up
the casing. Let's hope that yours are not that bad.
