O/d diagnosis....

[alun n]

.....the hard way!<br>
<br>
When I bought KDU last year its o/d was inoperative. Not used it much, but a few purchases this weekend meant the old trailer came out, hooked up to KDU and off we go.<br>
<br>
Never got around to looking into the o/d save for pulling the switch off and checking the wires.<br>
<br>
Today, start getting a bit of a whine in the car, 20 miles from home and a trailer full of engine gearbox axle etc etc, so eased off and carried on gently. Whine gets worse, mainly in second (now like a banshee), but also there in first and third but not fouth. <br>
<br>
That'll be the layshaft then. <br>
<br>
That'll be no oil in the gearbox then.<br>
<br>
Diagnosis complete: overdrive inoperative due to insufficient oil pressure. <br>
<br>
Easy.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now all I have to do is strip it down, get a new gearbox case and flush all the swarf out of the overdrive.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/sick.gif ALT=":x"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
