    2002 Montero 4x4 Trans and Rear diff help!

    Can you check the label on our rear Diff? It may be a hybrid LSD. A "chirp" from the rear tires could come from a LSD (Limited Slip Differential) rear diff. This is pretty common as the LSD tries to keep both tires turning at the same rate. On a wide turn, the LSD will slip a bit and allow both...

    2002 Montero 4x4 Trans and Rear diff help!

    I believe the '02s had two different diff ratios. The 4 speed automatic has a different ratio from the five speed model. What transmission do you have? What transmission does the '04 have? The four speed has a manual transfer case shifter. The five speed has an electronic transfer case shifter.

    Is this a standard nut or the security nut? For a security nut, folks have used a sacrificial socket. Hammer it on. Then spin it off with a wrench.
