hiya,
ive just took my series out for its maiden run. alls well except the gearbox is very very noisey, sounds like its in 4 wheel drive.
all the controlls are in the right positions but i can still get it into 4th at 20mph and it pulls ok. bearing in mind ive also got
7.50x16 tyres on and 5.1 diffs fitted. id expect it to struggle big time in 4th at that speed.is it possible for the box to be out of 4 wheel drive but still in low as i am hoping there is a rod/pin or something thats stuck, the box has been sitting around and dragged from here to there for about 4 years, as when i dropped the transfere oil about 1/2 a pint of water came out first, but no bits or bobs or balls or shims just thick goey oil oh, and the 1/2 a pint of water.
i9t changes gear lovely and selects gears as it should, its just the noise is like its in 4 wheel drive ( when turning the front wheels do not slip or bite), any help or advise would be greatly appreciated as im scratching my head with this, and as ive only just put it in id rather not have to swap it if i can help it.
