Ok guys if you all have been following my rants in the for sale section. I bit the bullet and had one HELL of a drive back from Atlanta. I about died a few times w/ a near fatal one by a redneck (he ran a red light) and my knuckles stayed white for at least 5 hours from running the gauntlet. My buddy took it right down the center of ATL sat afternoon ( he has a 110 and is more comfortable in it than I am.. I volun-told him to do it and he gladly accepted). He was scared after we pulled off for the first of many vehicle checks his hands were shaking. I took over the wheel and was petrified for about two hours. I kept drifting into the center of the road b/c its right hand drive. I still have problems but am getting more comfortable. The trans was really hard for me to get used to.. especially 2nd. I got that dialed down now though pretty good. Well like 5 vehicle stops back now from the 250+ mile ride and it performed flawlessly. VERY minimal drip-age. I got under the ride today to tighten bolts up and what not. I believe that has helped some.
Anyways a few questions for you guru's out there:
1. rear diff pinion is leaking a few drops but not bad. How difficult is this to repair and what is required. I have the owners manual but doesn't say whats required.. bearing press etc... need a heads up.
2. trans works fine but when I put it in OD (Fairley) it whines a pretty high pitch and is "geary" the other gears are "geary" but not like the OD. Is this normal and I have noticed 75w-90 oil is required so I was going to do a fluid change and where is the best place to get the oil in the US?? best recommended oil etc... amsoil is pricey
3. Got a slight sag for the vehicle...leans to the left noticably... leaf springs looks a little rusted .... should I just buy another shim or two to fix this or is it supposed to be like this?? to compensate for the driver (RHD)?
4. I think thats it for now a good forum suggestion for repairs?
pics soon to come!
