It growls under load, it growls on the over run, it is silent when in neutral.
It has been like this for ages and I've put up with it but now it starting to annoy me.
CWPs etc are beyond my skills so...
...can anyone give me an idea as to how much it might cost to get someone else to rebuild the thing?
Michael, suggest you do something rather than nothing. There is a strong probability that it could be just the nut holding the bearings onto the pinion shaft (pinion end). They do come loose and then allow the shaft to move for and aft, or even backwards and forwards. Just drop the prop shaft, take the six bolts out and remove the torque tube (take note of shims) remove flange then shaft and check etc. Bobs your Uncle
