Post by: bellers on 27 January 2011, 22:00:03

it could be the diff or driveshafts rather than the box,get someone to try it while you have a look underneath and see whats spinning and whats not

Ill check tomorrow and let yas know. If its spinning will that hint towards diff. Even tho the knocking is from gearbox end?
