DI or DII?
|
If you have a D2 and haven't read about the front drive shaft failures, you need to spens a little more time catching up.
What year is your truck? Did she damage the tranny? |
It is an 04, from previous posts. It has close to 100K, and I would bet the front shaft had not been built.
|
It's a 04 Disco II How would know if the tranny got damage. Broke going lesss than 5 mph. It start making a noise then put it into the drive way. then was inching up and then no more. Mike do you have an old laying around you might want to sell brother?

Do you have a blood red puddle the size of Lake Michigan under the truck? If so you need a new transmission, if not you need a new driveshaft. www.roverlandparts.com Do a search on the forum for "front drive shaft" or "double cardon" |
I had the same thing happen to me. The OE shaft is not serviceable, it gets dried out by the transmission and cat heat. I replaced mine with a custom servicable one from tom woods it bolts right on no mods needed works great.
