Have you had any luck resolving your leak as I am chasing the same as yours. Water will pool in the sill as you had pictured.

Again, exactly my thought but I can't see how that would all come together... as mentioned all bushes are new, slip yoke has got about 30-35mm of travel left before maxing out. even if the axle was to roll slightly in theory it would have to be a fair amount of roll movement to push against...

That is exactly what I think is happening but I don't understand why. I have replaced all bushings on the rear axle, upper and lower trailing arms as well as panhard rod.

Yep can do. Will test this as well. Pretty certain it would eliminate my issue as the rear axle won't be attached to the drive train.

Been checking those as well. All are tight and no signs of excessive movement. I am certain it has something to do with the "roll" of the rear axle and the driveshaft binding and pushing into the transfer case. I have removed the drive shaft again last night and cleaned it out once more and...

Another thing that I noticed ... even after cleaning and re greasing the slip joint it was next to impossible to slide the joint back together all the way as it was creating a pressure bubble inside the joint, I then removed the grease nipple to allow the air to escape and screwed it back in...

Can you elaborate a bit more please? Why would a drive flange cause the engine to twist and move? When I had the shafts removed I checked for axial play, couldn't fault them.

I have checked for over greased slip joints, which was the case. Only just pulled the shafts 2 nights ago and cleaned them all out spotless and only used sufficient amounts of grease to reassemble, still the issue persists! Movement is excessive to 1/4"-1/2" of movement. I will go for a drive...

Yes you are correct, engine mounts are new and trans mount has been removed and checked for damage. Just can't se how a still intact trans mount would cause this issue. If it was separated then yes totally.

Hi Feistl, I should have mentioned that I have a AISIN part time kit installed as well. So I can definitely rule out any front end slack or damage as it is only driven in RWD on road and 4WD locked center diff when off-road. When I drive around in low range it only makes the knock a lot worse.

If you read my post carefully you can see that I have already replaced those.

Hi Team, this is my first thread in this forum so please be gentle if I may have missed a thread that deals with my issues already. I have been soaking up all the very valid information on this forum far a long time and have found great help so far. However for the issue that I am dealing with...

Thanks @LandLocked93. the bit that was unclear to me was that OD off would take 4th gear out of the selection, I just took it for for what it said and thought it would only avoid from shifting into OD. Thing is my 80 will flick into 4th gear OD bang on 80kmh... it doesn't seem to be related...

Hi there and sorry for bringing such an old thread back to life but I am too trying to figure out my A442F trans on my 95 24V. Everything above makes great sense but the only thing which isn't quite clear to me is why the trans shifts down from 4th gear locked to 3rd gear when turning OD off...
