1988 Range Rover Classic for sale.....$1500.00 looks good ... ok intereior... runs good....130,000 miles.....got a clunk in transfer case, Chain is streched?....4X4 works fine....pics on demand
This Rangie has an LT230 gear driven transfer case. No chain. The clunk is likely a spline wear issue between the transmission's output shaft and the transfer case's input gear. Extremely common in all the Land Rovers using the LT230 (Rangie -- original body style, Defender, Discovery, Discovery II).
Since it is an Automatic, fairly easy to replace going in through the transfer case’s PTO cover, pull the input gear, and than the output shaft adapter from the transmission. Replace both the adapter shaft and the input gear (use newer model cross drilled gear to prevent it from happening again). thanks to : best4X4Xfar
