Its probably not related however the outcome may help. I had a 2007 G3 with a grinding noise from new, they tried to rebuild the transfer box but it was still doing it. They then put in a new box under warranty which cured it.

Based on the diagrams from the electronically operated gen3 and the gen4 they look all but identical (apart from the mechanical lever on the Gen4 and the electric actuator on the Gen3)

Thanks Martin,
If they are identical it makes me think the noise is not the transfer box itself. Possible installation issue, hitting bodywork, resonance?
Difficult to know unless we can identify what they do to fix or reduce it

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

Guys, I have had the 'Micro-grind' noise now for over 1 year. This is my thoughts:

It rarely makes this "Zizz" noise. As reported by others, it is commonly heard in 1st gear whilst pulling away.

Over the year it HAS NOT gotten any worst.

The service bulletin fix, seems to solve the issue with some, and not others. Which is odd.

Im certainly not a mechanic, but since the problem hasnt gotten worst, I am not at all worried about it.

So i now wonder whether this is something i am going ro address with the dealer.

Mmhhhhhh.

Same as you Andy, it's a machine and it makes mechanical noises. Chris
