Need new transfer box?

Driving my Sj at the moment. Have a feeling I need a new transfer box.

I get a hell of a whining sound from the car when I drive in 5th year between 30 and 65. Its really loud at 65 but I'm used to it.

Have a feeling my transfer box might need to be replaced.
What would be the best thing to do? Strip it down and replace the insides, or install a new one.
Is there any way to tell that it is the transfer box before taking it off or is there only one way to find out. Try a new one?

Thanks,

Rob

I personally would get another one, then rebuild and keep your current one as a spare!
It's not really advisable, but when I'm double checking where noises are coming from, I sometimes take the rear wheels off, jack the rear axle up onto axle stands, then put it 2wd in 5th, this way all of the gearbox, t-box and rear axle's shafts are spinning and you should be able to get closer to the noise!
Be very careful though!

Thanks, will try and get round to using your method sometime next week.

Might have one lined up for the Christmas holidays. Its from a Jimny, but i think it will fit, and ill get a whole extra 2 mpg.

Please make sure it's in 2wd!
I will not be held responsible for any Sj vs house incidents!

I will be murdered by mum if the SJ ran into her toyota on the driveway.

Will be extra careful, would be a rather costly mistake to make.

I don't think it will unless you want to make a custom mounting for it, In reality SJ t boxs are alot stronger than the jimmy ones as jimmy tboxs are chain drive instead of geared

Where are you located? I have a 413 t box that I bought but never used, it doesn't have any flanges (but you can swap them off your old box) when I bought it I bought it ad a doner for a rocklobster but bought a made up on instead, I think one output seal was damaged but can't remember now
