Your a genius when it comes to mechanics or electrical stuff. Sometimes I struggle keeping up. Appreciate everything you do. I've learned alot watching you over the years.
The leaky seal was the indicator to the bearing wear. That is your signal to replace the bearing, which acts as a bushing to the seal. As it wears it puts more pressure on one part of the seal, elongating it.
Just some friendly advice from an old mechanic; when using the press, always set the bearing separator 90 degrees opposed to the press plates. The bolt ends of the bearing separator should be setting one on each press plate, not across the gap between the two of them. Much stronger and stable that way.
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I have an engineer friend here in Oklahoma City that works for a major transmission remanufacturer. He was recently given responsibility over a bearing tester. We just had a conversation last week about bearings giving off a frequency signature, even specific signature for different failure modes .... now I know more about what he was talking about. Sure is nice having smart friends! and smart RUclips creators like you. thanks a bunch
@@kc360awareness Yup failing bearings show up very nicely in the frequency analysis. You can even tell a fault in the inner vs outer race or if the balls are damaged! :)
Oh man must be lucky number XL-7 lol, I just had my cake and ate it . this episode had it all, nuts & bolts, oil, circlips press, grey sealant, ratchet straps and some techy NVH pico action as the icing on the cake . Good job, don't be too hard on the XL-7, she doing fairly well compared to newer junk .
Hey if Ivan or Eric O for that matter got their EE and had to navigate Sig Sys courses I doubt we would be watching them fix cars.

Really interesting video. Great to see how you balanced that shaft at the end of your video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Happy New Year from Ireland
I didn't have the high tech frequency analyzer when I fixed my ranger driveshaft. So I used a glass of water and observed the disruption pattern. Moving the band clamp until the water had nearly no disruption pattern. WORKED!
I wanted to give you a quick thanks for these XL-7 vids! We spoke on the phone a bit a little over a year ago regarding my timing chain tensioner repair but I am a couple hours from you in PA so couldn't drive it down. I followed your vid series on it and all went well. Still driving it now with zero issues. Thanks again!
I love the simple explanation and method of repair. Back in my DC10 days I had to go to a three day course on balancing the engines and then it was a very complicated data acquisition sequence. Then we used compass and protractor on a special chart. Cosine, tangents and a long formulas. Even with all that we seldom got it right first try..
Back in the day, we used to use stick on balance weights (for alloy rims) and jubilee clips, to balance the live propshafts on the rear wheel drive Alfa romeo's.
Oil seals do not like wobblies especially at elevated revolutions. Press ideal for bearing replacement, saves using brute force with a hammer. Any roughness felt in a revolving bearing should ring alarm bells. Oil leaks are not normal. Amazing what a hose clamp can be used for, ingenious !! It's all a balancing act and quite sensitive to out of round.
Hi Ivan great to see you again!! Awesome job, amazed at your knowledge, still learning the wiring diagram for my headlight, lol! Mechanic couldnt find the short, ugh.
That was one of the few occasions where a narrow Chinese hose clamp, designed to use as little metal as possible without stripping when first installed, may have been better than a heavy, 'Made In USA' one.
Hey Ivan! Most of the time when I see a seal leaking it is usually because there is bearing behind the seal that’s getting lose or going bad. The last time I saw a leaky seal my rear diff had a lose and worn out pinion bearing. It’s pretty common. Nice work Ivan
Excellent Video. Well Articulated and the Production is Top Notch. The Video was a little Grainy in some areas. Maybe time for a better Camera. Thanks for the upload.
Again, you are just full of surprises! When I first took the job I have now, as operators we had to know what type of vibration detection we had on a particular piece of equipment. We used accelerometers, geophones, and proximity probes. Somehow, it doesn't surprise me you would go to these lengths to eliminate vibration. Great video!
Your inspection camera is awesome Ivan👍👍. Beats the cheap Autel one I have hands down. Couldn't make head nor tail of what I was looking at on the screen with the Pico NVH. Unchartered territory!
Vibration analysis is fun - I used to do lots of power generation / electric motor / gas turbine alignments and balancing- I enjoyed that kind of work ... once had a harmonic balancer to fail on a very large diesel engine - 20 cylinders 645 cubic inches per cylinder 2 cycle 4000 hp machine ... the failure would damage the main bearing that was one bearing in from the rear main bearing which was at least 14 feet down the crankshaft from the balancer. People dont realize what might cause vibrations and how you can figure out what it might be based on the frequency of the vibration- nice video I have been wanting someone use that new vibration sensor that you used...
Being 4 wheel drive all that stuff is turning all the time. I had a xj that had a ruff kind of vibration at highway speed and it was a wheel bearing. Your oil leak was a great clue to your bearing issue on the t-case. That old bearing was a little loose and ruff. Good catch.! Love the scope view of the gears. Very cool! Thanks for taking us along!!
thank you for this excellent video!!! I have a leak from the exact same area on my 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara, mine is an auto but leaking gear oil instead of red tranny fluid. Love your videos!!! Always wanted to comment that PHAD is very close to PhD, which of course you deserve gratis!! :)
I not a expert on drive line vibration. Years ago the company i worked for a power generation company sent me to a vibration analyst class . We could use equipment to help determine where the vibration was coming from . However on this you determine it was coming from a specific gear which was a good call . If you wanted you could cut the race on the bearing you replaced to see if it had damage races ect . The fact it felt tighter after the bearing replacement was a good sign ....At work they took vibration reading on equipment and did this over time to help with predictable maintenance. Thanks for the video . Yea the hose clamp deal works .. i just finished the video should have realized you went to the school also lol
I use washing machine balance weights(similar to wheel balance weights) to obtain desired smoothness. I’ve also used hose clamps in the past yet the mass of the clamp affects the smoothness. Being the perfectionist 99% of Tecnnicians are the obtained end results for me are much closer to factory turn out .You are a top notch technician and in no way am I attempting to sway you in a different repair path or procedure.
Slick scope attachment! Also good on you for finding that bearing before it went completely south. I've seen them where they've been ignored, and spun in the case.. Now you're talking $$
Wow, ivan! You went total full bore on this, haha! Bearings, oil gasket then pico on the nvh to test the hertz range!! So very nerdy!! Enjoyed every bit of the video! At least the XL7 didn't go through the house while on Jacks lol!! Hahaha many thumbs up!
when I worked in machine shop we rebuilt gear box's hog plant, bout 1000 lbs, 5 foot long shafts, we always put out bearings in a oven and heated them up, then drop on shaft hold for min snug as good be, or dry ice shaft overnight make it shrink bout .003
Wow, 02? The undercarriage is so nice. I'm jealous. Up in the north, if you keep the car outside, you can see it being eaten by the rust like a time lapse show. I loved my 04 corolla with the tank-like engine-transmission, but the entire body fell apart. I had to get rid of it @225k with the clock-like original engine/transmission.
Great content Ivan, my ZX tends to get a vibration, tho slight when I winding out a gear to around 4/5 rpm, thinking it could be the drive shaft, it dosent present itself until 4/5 grand, U Joints seem tight. Its a different shaft then what came in the car, swapped when I changed from auto to 5 speed, when just normal driving it does not have any vibration, but when it happens its more like a hum then a vibration. Just another thing to put on the list.
Amazing Diagnosis! I bet the transmission hum I'm starting to have at nearly 100K miles is a bearing on its way out. I'll see if I could change it during a future clutch change...
I blame the owner ha ha :-D Well done ivan, with less vibration the bearing will last even longer. :-D Mentally i jumped back to electronic r.f transmitters and there harmonics, filtering via tuned circuits set to produce loss/delayed/antiphase effect at the target harmonic. Something like that lol. I like the jubilee clamp balance, very sneaky plus cheap :-D
Hay Icon ! I fill your problems is in the transmission if you're have a problems with a in fifth gear it's usually means that the input bearing or the cluster for input gear and bearings are going bad
Very interesting case study especially on the driveline vibration. Not something I would spend lots of time and money for equipment though. It wouldn’t be worth it for me as I wouldn’t get any work like that . I’d just take the shaft off and bring it to a driveline shop or machinist. Thanks for sharing though.
Isn't it fun when you hit a resonate harmonic? I wrote this at the beginning of the video... Thank you for going into this cause every gram out of place gets magnified. just think how much we would weigh if the Earth didn't spin. Blue printing a drive shaft. Excellent video.
As far as mechanics I know go - Ivan's car is actually one of the most well maintained working ones I have ever seen. I have seen mechanics who drive cars which are absolute piles which break down weekly. You should see the 1985 BMW 528 my uncle was driving at one point. The entire electrical system was a giant splice job.
Man not sure how you got the the transmission being the culprit I had a vibration that happened at 45-65, had me stumped brought to a shop and they couldn’t find anything wrong. I thought the only thing left was the CV joints. They appeared perfect and didn’t have any excessive movement. As usually Ivan great diagnostics and great explanation of transmission and the gears. Also, love to know how research you did on transmission to figure out where 5th was.
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Time to get a shop, I don't suggest building it at your home though. Much nicer having it be a place you can leave and return to and not THERE all the time. Makes it much better on the home life and mentally as well, plus you don't get the customer knocking on the door at 3 am because they know you live at the shop..
I thought, Oh good a nuts and bolts video I can understand then out comes the Pico and we're talking about orders of vibration. Oh well. Still love your videos even if I don't always know what's going on. : }
even though you loaded up the parts cannon you made an educated guess. Sometimes we gotta do that and get surprized when it fixes it. We have the nhv kit at the dealership with the propshaft camera to balance a prop shaft, when we went to traning on how to use it we did it in a group and the teacher was "like your never going to do this, if you have a out of balance shaft your going to replace it since you are flat rate and warranty times suck ass."
Awesome video! As someone else mentioned, you should rotate the bearing splitter in the press - you're using the bolts to withstand all the pressure applied, and they're easy to bend. Turn the splitter 90 degrees and the actual splitter will now take that force. Also... you have the nvh kit, I would've loved to see the initial vibration on the scope! Before and after would give some quantitative results. And even more... on a personal note, if you left the vibration analysis job, are you now a full-time mobile diagnostician?
manual trans with vibration in a single gear can sometimes be the clutch disc damper springs/bushings gone. it really depends on the final gear ratio, but will often be when it's in 1:1 or an over-drive situation. although not sure if they have those symptoms on older suzuki's
Could you use a dial indicator and see how far out of spec the end play on the input shaft of the transfer case is from an acceptable measure of end play?
If that is your daily driver, treat yourself and pull the seat and send it out to have new springs, foam and upholstery ! At 17.35 what you called a "clutch" is typically called a "slider" or "coupler" or "sleeve" or "sliding coupler". Its inside teeth couple the teeth protruding from the face of the input gear to the teeth protruding from the face of the gear on the output shaft. Notice that these are not straight splines, but come to a point so that the slider can be used to force the gears to line up. A manual transmission works the same except between the two gear faces is something called a blocking ring which actually does the synchronization of the gear speeds for smoother/easier engagement. (Yes, I designed transmissions about 35 years ago !)
A bearing, a seal, and a balance weight. A dealer would have recommended a transfer case, and a drive shaft or a brand new car.
Plus there are no more Suzuki dealers in the USA haha
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics So you would have get it from Canada or mexico, if you required brand new parts?
dealers are only interested in getting the problem resolved as quickly as possible. They don't really care about getting it done as cheaply as possible. They would have had a tidy profit margin on a whole transfer case. There margins aren't so big on the labour costs.

Everything is vibrational everything from light to electricity to fluids. Even steel as it is being poured. Good video.
I ' d say that everything vibrates.
The leak is the clue. If the bearing is failing it can allow the shaft to move. Causing the oil seal to fail.
Yup, that's why I went there :)

If that is your daily driver, treat yourself and pull the seat and send it out to have new springs, foam and upholstery !
At 17.35 what you called a "clutch" is typically called a "slider" or "coupler" or "sleeve" or "sliding coupler". Its inside teeth couple the teeth protruding from the face of the input gear to the teeth protruding from the face of the gear on the output shaft. Notice that these are not straight splines, but come to a point so that the slider can be used to force the gears to line up.
A manual transmission works the same except between the two gear faces is something called a blocking ring which actually does the synchronization of the gear speeds for smoother/easier engagement.
(Yes, I designed transmissions about 35 years ago !)
