Hi I am sure my question will not be the first time here but too lazy to perform a search. With my 1998 disco, automatic transmission when shifting from drive to reverse a deafining sound occurs, quite freigtening actually! Sometime I can overcome this by shifting to Neutral while the vehicle is still moving (free wheeling)then when fully stopped shifting to reverse. The problem is that not everytime I can free wheel thje vehicle. I idea how to fix / get rid of this deafining problem. Thanks | ||

Are you going forward in drive & then quickly shifting into reverse? No wonder it's making a horrible noise. You don't like your transmission, do you? | ||

Alyssa - what I mean is that sometime while the vehicle is still moving forward I have to shift to neutral until it is completely stop. Then shifting reverse will not have any noise. Say you are maneuvering in a small space and you have to do several short forward drive and several short reverse, then shifting from drive to reverse would cause the noise. | ||

Ynik, I have the same exact thing in my 1998 with the ZF and I HATE that sound. My 1992 LT77s does not have anything like that, so hearing this was scary... I can imagine how many gear teeth from that shifter to those 4 wheels are interlocking, but the sound IS certainly scary! Anyone know how ot cure it? | ||

I can imagine how many gear teeth from that shifter to those 4 wheels are interlocking, but the sound IS certainly scary! Anyone know how to cure this? | ||

Nadim - Its bad that we both have this problem however at least I know now that its not my driving causes this. A friend of mine has Disco II with no problem like this at all. | ||

Hey there, According to the local Dealer in Pittsburgh and a dealer in Cleveland they say that all Disco 1's have excessive backlash. I have a 99 and heard the noise myself. I took it to the local transmission shop and they determined that it was the aforementioned. That is when I called a couple dealers to see if they had encountered the same problem on other vehicles and there answer was YES!!They said it wasn't anything to worry about but if I didn't want to hear the noise anymore that I could buy a new transfer case and both front and rear diiferentials at the tune of $5,000. Forget it. I will live with a little backlash. I hope that helps | ||

I have a 98 LSE and same think its sort of like clunk, I bought my Disco used and my heart skipped a beat the first time I heard it. From what I have read off of Disco web it normal. | ||

Don't you really wish to come to a complete stop before moving from forward to reverse or visa versa? I would never shift into reverse with any forward momentum in any vehicle, especially an automatic. I guess that is how I learned to drive. | ||

Drive train clunks are pretty normal. Deafing sounds are not. What does this deafening sound, sound like? Do you still have forward motion when you place in reverse? | ||
