Assembling the transfer box and gearbox with adjustments. Part 1

[@petershepherd6889]

I dropped the transfer box out of my 200 TDI discovery to replace a 30 pence O ring on the what you refer to as the sleeved bush as it was leaking oil and really bugging me .took it to a garage were I bought the vehicle from originally and all they did was cover every thing in silicone. Removing the transfer box was done outside in December without any lifting equipment apart from a scissor Jack and lots of grunting and swearing.

Not an easy job - this is why every box is now bushed regardless of condition

[@gazzafloss]

You're so right Mike, a real bugger to set up with the transmission in the vehicle. You need "double cardan" joints in your arms.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I have done them with the cover on - never again!

[@jameskerr5756]

Nice job Mike. Great tips and good to know. I've still not tackled the gearbox job!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

You should!

[@googlegok9637]

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I think so too!

Hi Mike got my package and stuck you on the front of my new tool trolley, I get through a lot of elbow grease and it still aches :)

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Is that lithium grease you are using Mike ? I wondered about its uses , pros and cons , on vehicles . Could you advise please ? Recently I discovered Silicon grease , not sealant , though it is good for sealing electrics .... another thing for a video . Well hell lets go all out and mention ceramic grease . Sounds Fred Flintstone garage gear eh ! Maybe that's for them ceramic brakes all LandRovers dont actually have and therefore not worth a mention at all anyway . Loved the video .

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Yes lithium - It demonstrates excellent water resistance and high temperature resistance.
