HZJ75 Troopie, transfer case troubles??

[constablechris]

Hello troops,

I have a HJ75 aftermarket turbo 4.2 diesel.

Today I snuck out of work early and got about 2ks up the road, as I left the lights, something went wrong.

As I took off in first, I heard a bang and a jolt. It sort of felt like I had been shunted from behind, but as I accelerated I had no forward motion. Managed to sort of roll across two lanes of traffic, and then with the help of a passing motorist and three locals got the troopie off the road. (gee its a heavy fU#$er)

I looked at the dash and notices it was saying 4wd had been selected, but when I shifted the 4wd lever, it was obvious it was not connecting to anything at all.

I managed to get the 4wd lever into 2 wd and engaged first gear, and let out the clutch. I could hear a sort of whirring sound, almost a low growl/grind but no forward motion. Engaged 4wd h and 4wd low for a similar sound and no movement. I figure something has gone awry in the transfer case...

Anyone hazard a guess? Probably not something I will play with (wife is due to give birth any day so...) but I would like to know what it could be,

The drive shafts felt pretty solid (both of them) and I had some trouble turning the front one, but it wasnt too bad, while the back one, well I couldnt move it. Oh probably cause the rear wheels were on the ground.

Dropped it at a mechanics (off the back of a truck) Mechanic reackons there is a shaft in the transfer case that may have come adrift. I did notice last week a sound which was like a card in the spokes of your bike. May or may not be linked. Its a pretty hard done by vehicle really. I drive it a bit hard so it probably deserves some tlc

Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated

Be good and I will let you know how much it c osts and what the mech says

2 ways to repair,
replace main shaft in tranny huge $$$$
order the custom input geat with longer spline, not as much money.

this was just a guess but a good possibility.

macnamara gear?

Welllll it seems there was a whole host of troubles going on with this thing.

Last year 5th developed a crunch as I changed gear, and I was having trouble getting from 4wd h to 2 wd and there was a funny bearing sound recently.

Appears everything was linked,

5th gear was spitting teeth and loose on its shaft.

In the transfer case the spline had come apart amongst some other things

Anyway for $6000.oo au (about 6200 us not ofter we are better than parity there!!) I got new gear box transfer case and some clutch work done, which included bearing cleaning and a new slave cylinder.

Drives good now, no problems going into reverse or 5th and changes to 4wd 2 wd better than ever.

But at that price it would want to. I will be driving it real careful for a while now..

Thanks for the advice gents thought I should give some feedback on the outcome,

I don't know your situation but 6200 is ridiculous for a gearbox that is readily available second hand for around 500 or 2500ish reco

Hulsty,

Transfer case and gear box was what it was, along with some clutch stuff and instalation, so in my mind it wasn't too bad. I couldnt get a cheaper quote anywhere else...
