Hooker (loose) of a T-Box...

Post by Roverchef »

Can you over-tighten the t-box cable linkage? I have abit of slop in the input flange of the t-box where the driveshaft bolts on. I took off the shaft to see if I could just tighten up the flange bolt and what i found behind the shaft looks nothing like what I found in the repair books. It's not the two bolts with the wire-wrap...but instead a 4-slotted nut with 2 pin holes you need to hold on the center of the shaft. Well...it was tight so I removed the inspection cover off the back to see if there was any adjustment there and found nothing. What I finally ended up doing was tightened the cable (2x17mm nutz) some and the slop started to go away. I just wanted a "GURU's" thought on how tight you can go. I got rid of the slop and then drove it for a few days and some has returned. Any thoughts before I tear out the t-box for full inspection...might as well do the rear diff upgrade and balance the shaft while I'm in there...right!
