Thank you for taking the trouble to full in the knowledge gaps. (y)

what oil did you use for your diffs?

Seems fairly inline (presuming notably higher labor rates in CA than the East coast), feel free to add it to this thread - https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/grenadier-servicing-price-usa.12416460/

I just scheduled my tow hitch install, windshield seal fix and transfer case shifter assembly replacement for Friday. (Elliott Bay)

Excluding the accident - amazing.

...we were not there to destroy the vehicle. Sadly we were backed into which not only damaged the left front bumper but also took out the transfer case cooler and trim around the headlight. After speaking with the dealership late last week they have found a couple things. First the non-start was...

Transfer case leak after 2000 miles, no off-road use. Repair pending.

I may be wrong, but don't you have to tighten that bolt sending it up into the transmission and pushing the parking pin out of position?

The SPP set has a skid for the rear trailing arm, fronts are exposed.

Still in the shop. I was told they had a T-case on the way. Going on week 3, still no transfer case and they don’t know when they will have one.

Thanks for the detailed reply and I’m very pleased to be wrong! 😮‍💨

For the vehicles that have shaft failure. Has the oil and oil quality been checked in the transfer case and front diff. When the shafts have failures it would be a good idea to drain the oil in the t/case in a clean clear container for inspection and maybe a sample for analysis. Replace the...

He had a transfer case leak, and is awaiting parts

How can you afford not to order this?

Ordered and the cost of shipping to the UK is £15. Looking forward to the credit back....... :)

Hi nmoeder, I would have it aligned as there is a possibility the alignment may be putting vibrations into the suspension at higher speeds. Just one of many things to check. DaBull

I’ve not done this on the Gren but it’s not a difficult task. In this case I had a warning showing, was on the service interval and wanted to change out transfer/axle oils, all while keeping warranty. Headed to Dilawri Ineos in Mississauga (Toronto) for the work. Harneet, Shub, Ray and the...

Re your transfer case … I’ve informed my Agent of difficulties I’ve had disengaging low range (after long sessions of low range driving) but they haven’t mentioned any transfer case recalls. Do you know if your recall was based on your VIN?

Sadly it seems these days with any new vehicle, electronically dumbed down or not, you need to carry a tech tool to reset error codes as much as you need a 10mm socket. 🤷‍♂️ Do we know if anyone has found a reliable aftermarket one for the grenny yet?

No, not intercoolers. One is a secondary cooling circuit for engine I believe and one is a transfer case cooler. I would be reluctant to remove at least the transfer case one as it was added during the testing phase because they has some issues with transfer case temps if I recall the story...

...Ranger, Amarok, Volve XC90, X5, VW Transporter are valid - none of these vehicles are live axled and in some cases don't even have a transfer case. None of these vehicles are as competent off road as the Grenadier and some aren't even four-wheel drives, they are SUV's. The...

Sounds like the issues are getting sorted, which is fantastic news! Hope that your rig gets back on the road sooner rather than later. And hope the insurance covers that body damage.

is the transfer case in 4H unlocked?

Doing longer Autobahn high speed driving regularly. Always with a close eye on xfer case temp. It's easy to exceed 100°C if you're not careful. For myself I limit speed to a max of 90°C. Which is approximately max 140km/h during summer days. I never exceeded the 115°C limit, didn't know there...

This is what my hoses looked like (from a front transfer case driveline seal leak)

I waited 5 weeks if that means anything. In CT

Had the same problem today. One day of ownership in, and the plastic clip popped out allowing the cable to drag on the prop shaft. Sounded horrible, like grinding coming from the transfer case. Glad it wasn’t more serious. 3 zip ties and I’m back driving again, hope they hold.

...lights on dash and message in message center. Now in Limp Mode. I searched and didnt find anything. Looking undernearth, looks like transfer case has a small leak. It drives around 6 mph in limp mode, no noises. I guess Ill have it towed to the dealer. 2024 Trialmaster, 9500 miles, B58 Gas...

That’s fair enough if you’re prepared to take the financial risk. But I just don’t get it myself.

Engaged the neutral bolt in anticipation of a tow(more about that later. Anyway it looks like I engaged it without having the transfer case in neutral. Once I backed out and put everything back in the proper position, the gear box will not go into forward or reverse. I have gone back through the...

That's of course right, but that does not solve the problem: You can enlarge the distance between the diff or the xfer case and the CV joints to reduce the required length of the shaft, but at the penalty of further increasing the operating angle of the joints. Take a piece of paper and draw it...

Bahaha. That’s why the whole carbon footprint thing is BS. They need to include Scope 3 emissions. Btw I think the transfer case is made in Mexico. Close enough.

Using a double cardan at the transfer case/box end requires aiming the differential pinion directly at the transfer case. This would require a "cut & turn" procedure for the front axle housing wherein the inner yokes (C or inner knuckle) are cut free, the pinion is rotated and aimed at the...

Agreed, my money would be on a stiff slip jointt.

So the update I received yesterday was that the transfer case is leaking. They have reported it to Ineos Engineering at the mother ship to see how to proceed. Replace the whole thing, a gasket, or whatever. One thing that makes me nervous is that you guys all said this is not likely the transfer...

This makes me very happy. It seems, barring accident damage and a couple of new wheels the only negative was the crap state of roads and flying stones. Looking forward to the final debrief, and not all the speculation. If it does indeed turn out to be more or less how you have described, we have...

Tremec is the Mexico City based transfer case supplier. I didn’t know that they bought a portion of Borg-Warner’s transmission division. “TREMEC purchased BorgWarner’s North American manual transmission business sector in 1996”. https://www.tremec.com/noticias_detalle/ineos-grenadier/...

To solve the issue, I drilled a hole in the heat shield and used a quarter inch industrial wire tie to connect the cable to the heat shield. I've had it off-road since then, sorry for the dirt in the picture, and it's held fine. You might want to zoom in a little bit to see the black wire tie.

Thanks for sharing all the edits. Was all that covered by warranty if I may ask?

I noticed a fluid leak last night while installing skid plates. Fluid had collected on the cooler lines leading to/from the transfer case... Couldn't find fluid above the soft part of the line, leads me to believe a problem with the line itself?

Please see what @IslandFalconer said Also please refer to @Trialmaster as well as the other responses. Also, due to a “pin falling out” you had to have the entire transfer case shifter replaced.

TRANSFER CASE CABLES I have a solution to properly secure my transfer case cables (issue identified by @Logsplitter). At this time it is not publicly available and it is not INEOS approved. It is however a fine piece of engineering, made from aluminium and it does not rely on the tree style...

Driver's side (LHD) is for the transfer case specifically

Are you sure about this? Not very likely on a newly designed transfer case as helical gears (angled teeth) have been used for ages, at least for the high range gearing.

That's so interesting - I never imagined they would make a left and right hand drive transfer case. In that case you are spot on!

Did you have this done at 12,000 miles? Are the differentials spec'd for servive at 12,000 miles? Should and must mean different things to me (said the guy that changed his oil at 800 miles after break in and will do it again at 2,500 miles).

Thanks! I will pass this info along to Elliott Bay.

...on lifted vehicles, is a redesign of the entire front axle so the pinion angle is much higher and pointing more directly at the transfer case output flange easing the angle of the entire front driveshaft. To do that will require more engineering work from Carraro and Magna and all sorts of...

Tom, that was my first thought - I imagine the latch positions are really pretty unrelated to the transfer case and rely on the cable or linkage to be appropriately adjusted. Hopefully not too much damage and it can be resolved.

Ouch on the price. I know it's not as simple (since they won't ship to USA), but that same kit (including VAT) is less than a grand HERE.

I have had the transfer case replaced after the Agent said my number came up...not one bit of information on the problem...the service manager said that is the case with lots of recalls...he said you wait for the parts, replace and send the other back...it would then go back to the manufacturer...

Not necessarily in a vehicle with a driveshaft with 2 CV joints - as it is in the Grenadier.

The cable above the front shaft in the original picture has about 1 1/2 finger width clearance when the cable is secured next to the transfer case. Use a 7mm cable tie and never have to worry about it. In fact, use 7mm cable ties for everything important!

Hello All, Well I’m at my mechanic with a task list of items today along with check for leaking transfer case and unfortunately I’ve joined the Club. So question at hand for the moment - 1. I found the fluids reference sheet under resources but no official brand listed - anyone know the brand...

Ah! Didn't know that. Ah bon je ne savais pas! Une photo si possible? A picture if possible?

This transfer case leak is becoming more common. I’m curious why only North American vehicles are beginning to see this issue while I haven’t seen reports of this out of Europe/aus/nz in 2023.

Do tell where you got them please! I'm thinking this issue could be initiated by a low /dry fluid level in the transfer case? My front seal is being replaced at the moment. My independent mechanic identified the issue and I had ~5k miles with 99.9% on asphalt. Poor quality manufacturing in my...

Obviously my service centre didn't wait then. The module was corrupted, and I'm still waiting. Hopefully this afternoon. A new transfer case too apparently.

There's one on the Black Sheep Swiss site under the 'Rival' brand. https://blacksheep-innovations.shop/en/Rival-4x4-Skid-Plate-Set-aluminum-6mm-for-engine-gearbox-transfer-case-and-fuel-pump-for-the-Ineos-Grenadier/2333.4501.1.6 On the Rival webpage there is not much info...

That just shows how much we know...

They aren't models, they are option packages effectively. And a more hardcore version I believe is in the works

Just want to report that I have a 2024 US Gren with 2000 miles that has developed a transfer case leak. Repair or replacement is pending.

Agree, putting the transfer case into neutral would seem to be the logical way to go, I suppose it depends why you want to be in "neutral", presumably the gearbox has this facility when used in other vehicle applications.

It is VIN model specific to early vehicles. The reason is the tolerances inside the transfer case were initially too tight and COULD result in mechanical failure if operating for extended periods of time in low range. To date I have experience no issues, but its on the list and they would not...

Locking rear/front diffs when stationary is good advice for a first time user. Once you get used to the procedure, it’s OK to engage them when moving very slowly (up to 15km/h with no spinning wheels) as long as you’re in low range with centre diff locked, and on a low traction surface. 🙂

I also had a front output shaft leak on the transfer case. Was only down for 1 week waiting for the seal, so hopefully this is a good sign that parts are becoming available more quickly

I just had all the same done to mine (minus the transmission leak - which I thought I had, but turns out it was just residual oil dripping down from the previous oil change I had done at 6000 miles). All is well now. Fingers crossed they'll have yours fixed-up and good to go again soon.

this is the work done years ago on my defender with 2 axels, gearbox and transfer case. I would like to do the same work on my grenadier. in addition to the two axels, can you also intercept gearbox and transfer case? do these always have 10x1.0 connections like axles? What diameter do you...

I had this issue and reported it to dealer when in for transfer case replacement last year so they should be aware of the issue that's if dealers are sending customer reports back to the mothership .

I am surprised that you have now ordered a Grenadier and that it is affected by a recall regarding the transfer case. As far as I know, all gearboxes currently being delivered are OK. Only for the first deliveries INEOS wants to make sure that there is no damage and is replacing the gearboxes as...

...related, if you feel it throughout the vehicle. The drive shaft balance is one item that could cause this, but you also have the transfer case and differentials. Since you have ruled out the tires I think you likely need to focus on the drivetrain. Now - getting to the actual root of the...

I think you are right, its one of two cables in that area and both are extremely stout, so pretty sure its one of those.

Where on the case is it leaking? i.e. input from transmission, front output, rear output, seam?

Thanks Chris good to know.

There are upper and lower control arms on the axle. If they don't follow the same radius the pinion may point slightly upward during droop. We are also assuming the angles into the tcase and diff are exactly the same, like one would want on a simple ujoint axle. It's cv's so there are no forces...

...high load the normal engine oil temp is ~90...95. I like to know what's going on. But I've heard of other mindsets ;-) Regarding the transfer case, I actually did expect it to be more efficient than e.g. that of the Defender TD5. After Autobahn drive with my TD5 (235/85/16) at 120-130 at a...

The bigger the tube the better basically however 6mm is the most common size, if you can find a kit and breather fittings that take 8mm then all the better. Mine are 6mm. I haven’t done the investigation myself but others have said thet there aren’t Transfer case or transmission breathers.

...nickel anti-sieze compound. It had some road gravel mixed in to make it look very much like a cracked casting. It's also visible on the transfer case oil cooler pipes if you squint a bit. That shaft was removed and installed when the transfer case was swapped out in my first week of...

Added torque settings for diffs (31 Nm) and transfer case (15 Nm) here. Thanks to @Ragman.

I have just ordered mine (albeit off the stock in the lot) and now being told that they are waiting for parts for a recall on the transfer case (amongst other things). Whats the normal turnaround for replacement parts? I should add - my experience to date has been horrendous.

In my case I had to get a new transfer case.

ok, but in that case isn't it better to free the transfer case by switching it to "neutral"? on the other hand it is the last component of the transmission therefore the gearbox would also be disconnected

Mine is silent under load, but whining when coasting along. Only when transfer case oil is hot. Solution: Keep it under load ;-)

Looks like those are going to ship around 6/1 - I'm looking forward to getting them in hand!

That plastic part has me scratching my head.

Hi TheDocAUS, if and when they become available, count me in to buy a set. DaBull

Hi @Outlander ive just had the same problem when the rear Cardan joint in the front prop shaft snapped but unfortunately this caused the prop shaft to smash into the gearbox causing untold damage to the gearbox and loss of transmission oil. Edit this one. Gearbox OK but damaged oil cooler lines...

Aliexpress 😉👍 2 Euro or so.

...boat. Not used any of the diff locks yet. Some low range work maneuvering trailer. Started to hear a whine from low down. Probably transfer case or diffs as it is road speed related. Sound is like high speed gear meshing (sounds like a screw compressor to me). Started very faint and...

Yes, they unlock after you have pressed the switch. The time until the LEDs go out is not fixed. As soon as you drive over 50 km/h or driving curves, the sensors react and switch off.

...to low range. Can lock the centre diff but can’t move back to low range. Agent confirmed a mechanical fault and they have replaced the transfer case, but they warned me that about 50:50 when they have to try and remove the old transfer case the cable is so tight that it snaps while they are...

Actually it might be that it is a gear driven transfer case that causes the noise. I thought i read somewhere it was straight cut gears but might have got that confused with gear driven for some reason.
