Transfer case
Morning all,
A few possibly dumb questions about the transfer case on my D3. Background first.
Car is a TDV6 S manual gearbox with air suspension, 531,000 km. Manual cars very uncommon here in Aus, hence the questions here where there are more manual cars.
Transfer case is making a noticeable but not bad what sounds like bearing noise, my excellent indie repairer agrees, and yesterday's fluid change found metal in the old fluid, image attached.
Front diff recently rebuilt after bearing noise, done by an amazing retiree specialist who's the go-to man here in Perth WA for LR gearbox and diff rebuilds. He noticed that the diff was a different ratio than the usual auto car diffs he does.
Looking to get a second hand replacement transfer case and rebuild my original.
Questions therefore are: Are all D3 (TDV6; and 4.0 V6 and 4.4 V8 petrol) transfer cases the same, in fitment and ratio? Are the auto and manual gearbox cases the same - will they fit both, and are they the same ratios?
Appreciate your advice, and thanks in anticipation. NathanSwoz3
