Hi
I have 97 troopy diesel which has a bearing type noise coming from the rear output shaft on the transfer case, the noise starts at about 40k's and fades
as speed increases, the speedo needle dances around a bit up to 40km then is
steady. The noise is always the same whether under load, backing off or coasting
in neutral. I have dropped the rear drive shaft off and listened to various spots on
the gearbox and transfer with a stethoscope and all noises are coming from around
transfer rear output shaft. Have checked oil levels and are ok. There is no other
problems with gear changes etc. One problem I had when attempting to remove
the rear drive shaft was when I had removed the bolts on the diff end and tried
to lever drive shaft forward to push the spline into the yoke was that it was solid,
any force to push the drive shaft forward resulted in pushing the transmission
forward, found problem to be the grease in the yoke stopping the spline, had to
remove the grease nipple from the yoke to allow excess grease to escape while
levering the drive shaft forward, maybe this has contributed to problem ????.
