Transfer box

Hi guys. . .

Well that time has come around / and it seems that maybe my transfer box is gone.

The symptoms are screeching noises comming from somewehere under the car while in or out of gear. The screeching and grinding noises appear to be relative to the speed of the car.

I thought maybe this was a bearing on the wheel, but there is also a rattling noise. The engine is running smooth as a baby.

Does this sound like the correct diagnosis ? The car is able to change gear and run as per usual . . .I would have thought that with the transfer box out, that the car would not go at all and this is the only thing that I don't understand.

The problem first appeared when I went into reverse.

Is it possible to fit the transfer box myself ?

Cheers guys. I'm sad now. But half expected it at some point.

Your first guess could be right. Had symptoms you describe on the disco a few months back - turned out to be wheel bearing failure.

Best check / have it checked before opening the cheque-book.
