Hi all,
A while back I had my G60 Syncro’s transfer box opened up and inspected at the same time as the gearbox was rebuilt. I have got the transfer box sitting on the bench at the moment with the long gearbox shaft inserted fully, and I am puzzled by the fact that when I turn the flanged / splined gearbox shaft, there is no movement at all in the propshaft drive flange.
The only time I have any kind of movement is when I turn the doughnut drive flange; this causes the splined shaft for the gearbox to rotate. But it’s only due to light viscous friction: if I hold the shaft, I can just keep rotating the other shaft. There seems to be no physical connection between them.
The transfer box is the type that shares its oil with the gearbox.
Am I being stupid and missing something?
Thanks
Trev
