T-case noise
My X type is making a loud noise from thetransfer caseso I researched the problem on here and which led me to drain the fluid. I got almost two ounces of gel instead of oil. No doubt the oil deprivation is what has caused my problems. My question (s) is/are has anyone rebuilt a t-case and if so are the parts easily obtainable (are the bearing common sizes), are there any t-cases from anything else that might interchange (escape, 500, etc)?I replaced the old fluid witha quart of new oil in hopes it would quiet the t-case, no luck. Does anyone know where a good place is to get a used case?Oh yeahthis site is awsome. thanks seth

RE: T-case noise
Well I over filled the t-case with oil and that did quiet the noise some. I would split the case and put new bearings in but I am hearing some gear noise also. Is it possible the gear noise would go away with new bearings? There was a small piece of metal aprox. 2 millimeter chunk on the drain plug. I cant tell what it is from.

Someone from the UK had a bearing set on EBAY (UK) a few months ago. The link doen't work, but his phone number there. Here's the post copied from Jag-Lovers...
I just found this on Ebay uk. Might be of use to someone:-

Here we have a quality brg set to fit a X - type 4 X 4 transfer
box s
infact we are sure that any Jaguar 4 x 4 / Ford mondeo transfer box
that exists uses these bearings
The bearing set includes
2 x 2.875' x 1.3125' x 1.165' taper race HM88510
1 x 47mm x 20mm x 19.4mm 32204c
1 x 55mm x 80mm x 17.25mm ECO32911X
1 x 20.58mm x 55mm x 25.4mm (1.00') CR0499
1 x 85mm x 60mm x 17.5mm 32912XASTV2
The set includes the 6 bearings necessary to recon. the transfer
box. These bearings are not available from Jaguar/Ford. However,
you can buy the input and output shaft seals from your local main
dealer. The shims will probably have to be changed, as the one
that we reconditioned definitely had not been assembled correctly -
it had far too much pre-load and all the shims were 1.25mm thick,
which seemed too much of a coincidence. Also, where the crown
wheel had been made there were still burrs protruding onto the top
face, where it came up against the planatary gear drum. You could
see where the excessive pre-load had created an impression in the
drum from the gear. This had to be removed, and the shims replaced
with thinner ones to get the right pre-load. Having done all this,
checking that both shafts rotate freely and evenly (you have to
assemble the box twice with only one shaft in at a time) you need
to remove the bearings out of the pinion housing, fit the new
bearings and seals, and be careful not to over-torque the nut so
not to collape the collapsible-spacer any more. Assemble with
Three Bond 1104, and re-fill with oil. Get it all right and you
save a £1,250.00 bill for a box from Jaguar. If you need shims I
can supply exactly what you need, either pre-sized or over-sized
for you to grind. Any problems I am on the end of the phone.
