Broken gearbox?
Just collected this rather nice 3.0l
Was diagnosed by the aa with broken gearbox.It starter and tried to move but loads of resistance then large band moved forwards 2" then bang again and so on.Only just managed to get on the trailer. So question is what was wrong with it? Answers on postcard please |

knackered diff? locked front hubs? knackered driveshafts? I know nowt about gearboxes, but aren't the 3.0l troublesome with regards gearboxes?

Idea
Wound up front shafts - driving in 4 x 4 in the dry and doing a tight turn

Check to see if the transfer box is working or not first - physically check not just wiggle the lever then disconnect front and rear props one at a time trying it in 2wd and 4wd in each gear and see what it does - you should be able to narrow it down to either in the box or at either axle/diff, then explore from their.
I had shoe linings come away too but didn't get the problems geoff describes but it is certainly possible |

Put the transfer box in neutral, and run the main box through the gears, see how noisy it is.

Go and play with your gear knob...
Now is the time to remove the rear prop shaft, or put the vehicle on 4 axle stands, and see what rotates when in 2 wheel drive, then 4 wheel drive. My best guess... Broken rear half shaft.

I can go with that, sounds good, did not think about rear shaft as have not done one as yet, probably should not have said that, Rick
