My 4wd saph is only powering rear wheels . Could this be due to front diff?

could be viscus in g/box check oil leavel , auto fluid

Longshanks

Would low oil cause this? I will check it tomorrow..

Most likely to be the centre viscous knackered. Oil level will not affect it as it's a sealed unit. Though obviously oil level is important, the chain would run dry and not last long otherwise. It would likely exit the transfer casing as well.

So what do I need to buy and replace. Cheers for help

You need to get the actual viscous coupling checked over

Can do it without removing the box but it's just as much grief to pull it out and get other stuff checked over at the same time

Longshanks

Sound like a pain in arse, and sounds like it going to cost a small fortune. Can the viscus coupling be changed ok

if you drop the back of the box down you can get to all the bolts you need to undo and remove the rear transfer cover case and withdraw the vc

but it's still a pain in the arse doing it on the car as there is limited space

Cheers KSA-Cossie priced me Ł300 for viscus , chain and bearings Fitted not bad I thought

MrC

Jesus that's cheap, practically a whole rebuild

Longshanks

Sounds too cheap MrC , just questioned the price to make sure this is right , if it is I'm on my way there

MrC

Ask how much for a full overhaul..... Cos if the price is right I'll be going Down

Longshanks

Option 1:**Standard Exchange Transmission
From Ł450
This is a standard Cosworth transmission, fully overhauled with new bearings (including selector rails), late type fully coated syncro rings, selector forks, Hub sleeves, springs, guides & balls, circlips, selector pins, oil seals and ‘o’ rings.

MrC

Does that include viscous and chain??

Longshanks

MrC just had it confirmed Ł300 for viscus,chain and bearings fitted .. This is from the link KSA-Cossie put on. E mail them from link mate for a price

MrC

cheers matey i'll find out now how much the whole shebang will be, everything on that list on the website.

are you taking just the gearbox down or the whole car and having them take it off overhaul it and bolt back on???

Longshanks

They only do gearbox off car but can sort TNT to pick it up
