Hi Guys,
I just found (I think) the cause of a very annoying vibration that started happening a while ago and which I haven't been able to track till now. As it turns out my transfer case started leaking oil (that was a good hint) at the main driveshaft end, and there's a bit of freeplay (you can move the shaft up and down a little bit) so I'm guessing my bearings are gone in the transfer case which causes the vibration and the leaking seals. It also gets very hot so I think I'm burning bearings at the moment.
I think the driveshaft also has a bit too much rotating freeplay, but I'd have to check that more closely.
My question, can you remove the transfer case without removing the gear case? I've got manuals that describe how to remove both, but it doesn't say anything about just the transfer case. I'm assuming disconnecting the rearshaft at the rearaxle and the front shaft at the front axle should get me enough room to remove the transfer case. I know I'll have to drain it first.
Any pointers are appreciated! Also if I'm overlooking something. I'm pretty new to Pajero's (4WD in general) and have owned this one for just 4 months orso.
Cheers! Olger.
