My first outing today on the new wheels thanks to T junction (hope you found my gift adequate?), fitted with brand new remoulds.
I was doing wonderfully on my new wheels and tyres and had far more grip than usual, unfortunately the twenty-year-old transmission wasn't doing so well! Came home on a breakdown truck.
I've got all gears and it drives, but the gearbox oil's come out the bellhousing. When it went, it would go forward a few feet then lock and it would go back a few feet then lock, then it freed. It left oil trails (ah the smell of EP) that indicated whatever broke did so before I experienced the transmission lock. Any suggestions anyone? Someone suggested a diff pin. Looks like I could be learning something new. The only time I've been inside a diff was to replace a planet wheel carrier forty years ago.
