Land Rover Repair: 98 range rover front driveshaft, viscous coupler, transfer case
QuestionI recently purchased a 98 range rover 4.6 hse. It had previously had the front driveshaft[from transfer case to differential] blow apart. Will it cause any damage to the vehicle to drive it this way, until i can get a new [used] one? thanks for the help
AnswerYou can drive it that way but doing so may ruin the viscous coupler in the transfer case, a $1,000 part. Then again, it might not. They are unpredictable in their ability to tolerate that particular stress.
The car should drive ok as a two wheel drive Rover otherwise
