I can finally close this chapter, for anyone interested the problem was (unsure of the precise order of occurrence): - The snout on the compressor had been warn down allowing the pulley to wobble slightly. - The pulley bearings themselves were worn. Possible that they had begun to seize which...

I've still not been able to properly diagnose the clutch but I've discovered the bearings are definitely shot, I'm guessing the tension from the new belt put the final nail in the coffin (hopefully not from over tension but I think I'll be getting my hands on a tension gauge for next time). They...

Thanks for linking this, that is very similar to my problem but mine was spinning more intermittently, I'm thinking it might be a dying clutch. After my post I had to make a ~5 hour drive home and the clutch seems to sit still now. I haven't been able to properly test the clutch since I'm still...

Rookie here, just changed the fan belt, came out to check everything was spinning and noticed this inner part on the AC pulley slipping, sometimes spinning with the pulley sometimes not. I'm guessing this just needs tightening up but wanted to come here to make sure, and also to ask what that...

Hi all, as much as I love the noise on my new 80 I do have to get around to replacing the flex joint (I think it might also be called a crossover, or bellow). I've found numerous replacements online but can't find which diameter or length I should be looking for. I assume there should be a...

I do like the sound of it not being the main seal or oil pan. I think I'm going to start another thread about the engine because there definitely is a leak coming from somewhere, mechanic thinks it's the HG but I'm hanging on to what BILT4ME said... Hopefully it is the valve cover because that...

It's already known to have a leaky head gasket, could that explain the oil?

That must be it, kept thinking it might be for the gear stick, didn't even think of the clutch. Thanks for those tips too.

I was having a look underneath my recently acquired '97 HZJ80 and noticed a pretty loose looking rubber connector or cover. I believe this is the transmission but I couldn't find any diagrams that told me what this part is/does. The car was also with a mechanic a week ago for an inspection and...
