Two heavy trailers on today. Gears go tight usually when coming back down. Lots of whining big bang and the clunk lose all gears coast for a bit and then all back. Still whining though ujs all new only problem garage has fitted both props in line when they should be off set.

Very difficult to diagnose without seeing/hearing the vehicle

 

Mine turned out to be the transfer box whining but that was constant, then when I had done that I could hear the back axle whining so ended up doing that as well

are you sure its losing gears, or losing drive?

if losing gears its in the gearbox or drop box, but if losing drive its in the clutch.

Cant quite see how you can lose gears and get them back.

Get a grip man, to transmit that kind of heat into the friction lining the bearing would need to heat the entire flywheel (about 20kg).

 

Wrecked bearings only get hot untill they destroy themselves which takes moments, it certainly couldnt generate the heat needed to warm a flywheel.

Added to which, the flywheel spigot bearing does not rotate when the clutch is engaged and the vehicle is driving.

Coz you stop walk back pick them up again, then beat them back in with a mechanics screwdriver before driving on. :lol:

Could be the flywheel bearing is on its last legs. The smell of clutch is the heat coming from the collapsing bearings radiating into the clutch.

 

Did your 500HP U900 do this Matthew?

No need to throw your toys out of the pram. I was only trying to help. Its getting a bit boring with people getting hostile over silly things.

 

Well that makes your ridiculous statements OK then????

 

If you dont like people saying something about "sillly things" stop saying them.
