I have replaced gearbox and transfer box oils, no contamination. Local garage I use said gearbox bearings, £450 ish to strip and repair. Is that about right? Cheers

£450 to remove and replace the gearbox strip it down, replace worn bearings and refill with oil sounds reasonable.

They will also tell you that you need a new clutch when the gearbox is off (which is sensible) but will cost another £100.


As to whether this is the noise, I don't know, I've not driven it, but do you trust the garage?

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

I had similar noise and it was the input shaft bearing on the transfer box. Go under and have a wiggle. Excessive play and you will know there is a problem.
