Hi everyone!
So I got my rover! "New" is obviously a lie, but it's a pretty good condition Chevy V8-mod rover. I've a few questions:
1. Third gear clicks badly. Probably a broken tooth or two. I have the Haynes manual, but have never dissassembled a transmission. In all honesty, should I be scared? About how long would it take two people to take the transmission off the car, take it apart, replace the bad gear and reverse the process (i.e. is this an afternoon job, or should I take a week of vacation?). If I have the part and the Haynes manual would this be an expensive job at a local mechanical shop?
2. Same thing with leaking oil from the rear transfer case. Oil's coming out the front (the side that hooks into the transmission). Will replaceing whatever gasket or seal that is bad be a horrible ordeal?
3. The right turn blinker works great, but when I use the left turn signal the flasher must be struggling - it stays lit and only occassionally clicks (flashes). Just a bad flasher?
I'm bound to have more questions soon - time to read through every thread!
