  1. I did it. Atf dexron ii.

    Smooth as silk. If I give it some stick, which i don't really do, there is a slight wine from the intermediate gear.


    Now though instead of a flickering diff lock light there is none.

    Is there a wire i didn't connect i wonder.

     

    Thanks to everyone for their input. The moral support was invaluable I think this took about 4 months at least.

    Don't do it at home if you need the vehicle for work 😂😂😂😂

     

    I'll take it out on the highway soon.

  2. Ive read all of them, im not a fan of anything but they are popular books here. I always liked the story of the kids whose parents died and they needed to borrow money for the taxi to go to the hospital in Granada and then it turns out to be a complete lie. Typical of this area. I hardly ever heard the word liar in the uk or usa, there's no wonder the word is used so much in Spain. They are very deceitful people and is almost impossible to trust anyone.

    Every man for himself wild west style.

     

    Anyway the lr is done. I bought gl5 api ep 80 90w 18 euros for 5 litres. Now waiting on some mtf94 for the r380.


    It drives, i moved it forward a few feet to test it.  Happy days.

  3. Now if you knew more about me and where I am, what you have written would shock you. Suffice to say that on certain parts of my land I can see his place, el Valero.


    I finally got the transfer case on, the input gear in and the pto cover on. Was much easier than I expected, all of it.

    Let's say that I like to be in the right frame of mind to do these things.


    More updates to follow. Thanks everyone.

     

     

  4. Ok people,  i have the transfer box elevated,  in its two ratchet strap slings more or less in line with the transmission.  I did all this alone using a plank,  some concrete building blocks and a long piece of timber through the front door windows to suspend the ratchet strap action.

    Now i have to put the silicon on the face of the transmission and mate the faces. Secure the bolts and then mount the input gear and retaining plate and pto cover.

    Any tips,  advice   ideas on what to do / not to do,  at this critical stage?


    Well chuffed to have the tbox in position and about ready to mount.

  5. Im not trying to cut corners, but I'm mindful of getting into problems here at 1000m 14 km from town.  Here is nothing.  I've tried with a brass rod. I have no circlip pliers.


    There is no way to hit it with anything from square as there is an obstruction at each end.


    Im very nervous about doing damage to the circlips as i don't have any more or pliers to remove them

    They need to be really good long nose ones to get them out from behind the race.


    What a load of trouble. Oh by the way my neighbour died about 3 weeks ago.

    That's what drinking dodgy strong local wine and not eating does for you.

    I can take the gear out again but i don't see why the old races shouldn't suffice.

    Why didn't i buy a Mercedes?  Well you all know the answer to that.  Everyone here tells me td5`s are ****. The only person not to was my dead neighbour.
