Do all Discovery IIs with an auto trans whine? We drove three and they all did it. Is there a fix? The '00 we just bought has the extended warr and am thinking if we need to take it in. All the fluids are good and full.

Mine whines also, didn't know it when I purchased it because it had some really rough mud grips. I got new tires, and it scared me at first, but I think this may be normal. Mine is coming from the transfer case.

Thanks for the response, Since all three that we drove did it I kind of assumed it was normal. I will soon be changing the fluids to synthetic and will have to see what happens then. Thanks again.

You might also check and see if your idler pulleys have been replaced along with the serpentine belt. Mine were replaced under warranty, they are known to be noisey and fail. Yes the t/case makes a little whine, you might also check and make sure your cardon joint on the front drive shafy has had the dual u-joints replaced, they will also fail big time.
Good luck and enjoy your truck like the rest of us.

Clunk

When I put mine in gear, it makes a clunk, like a bad u-joint sometimes makes. I have suspected them to be worn, is this a do-it yerself job, or is expertise needed?

Ashcroft Transmissions here in the UK do a replacement set of gears (Q Gears) for the DII as it appears to be a common complaint.

Discos whine from the t-case, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, alternator, & Goodyear tires. You'll have to find which of those you're hearing, and it could be more than one.

The clunk probably comes from the center diff.
