HELLO FRIENDS IN LAND ROVER INSANITY
CAN ANYONE GIVE ME LIGHT ON HOW TO REMEDY AN ANNOYING CLUNK I HAVE WHEN I SHIFT TO REVERSE ON MY 98 DISCO.IT HAPPENS ONCE THE TRANS IS HOT OTHER THAN THIS EVERYTHING WORKS FINE JUST THAT #"$/ CLUNK.ALSO I NEED TO CHANGE THE AC EVAPORATOR, WILL I HAVE TO TEAR THE WHOLE DASH APART OR IS THERE SOME OTHER MORE MERCIFUL WAY OF DOING IT? BEST HOLIDAY WISHES AND MAY YOUR DISCOS BE GOOD TO YOU!
THANK YOU

 

Have you checked the oil level in the t/case, how many miles on the truck, is the t/case noisey while driving?
As for the evap, you get to pull the dash, it is a buger of a job, how mechanical are you?
Mike

 

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY DISCO MIKE

THE TRUCK HAS 108000 AND THERE IS NO NOISE COMING FROM TCASE CHANGED TRANNY FLUID 300 MILES AGO.SOMEONE TOLD ME TO CHANGE U JOINTS BUT IT IS STRANGE IT ONLY HAS THE CLUNK WHEN SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND AFTER THE TRANSMISSION IS HOT IF IT WERE THE U JOINTS SHOULD'NT IT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME? I WILL CHECK OIL LEVEL IN T CASE.AS HOW MECANICAL I AM TO TEAR THE DASH FOR THE EVAPORATOR MAYBE $400 WORTH =WHAT THE AC SHOP IS GOING TO CHARGE ME.IF ANY OTHER IDEAS AS FOR THE CLUNK PLEASE LET ME KNOW.THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE YOUR DISCO,THAT I LEAVE TO YOU.LOL

 

The klunk could bea u-joint, do you geet them lubed, how about the slip joints on the drive shafts?
There is a given amount of klunk that will come from the t/case which is normal all wheel klunk and you could also have a bad output shaft/bearing.
I would start with the u-joints, make sure they are lubed and still in good shape.
