sorry no it's a manual so the fluids are the same. it is a very common problem and bandaid fix on older models because the seal goes between the boxes. but i have read we have a seal on each box in the 80's rendering the hose useless (apart from being good at overfilling your transfer case)...

yeah thats the hose i'm talking about alright but is it useless on 80 series? does anyone know if we have only a single seal between our boxes like older models or a seal on each box rendering the hose useless?? thinking i should leave it off and keep an eye on my fluids for a while until...

hi all wondering if you all could clear something up for me my cruiser has a oil balance hose fitted between the fill plugs on the gearbox and transfer case from previous owner. the transfer case is constantly overfilled due to the hose. i've had a heap of headaches with the speedo...

hi guys just to update as i hate people leaving dead threads. i have replaced the pcv valve and had a play (rattle everything around) on the carby the gremlin has disappeared for now so thanks for all your input. the gremlin did disappear before once and then raised it's head again so i'm not...

*update* since i have checked - running a jumper to the coil to eliminate ignition switch supply. have found the only vacuum leak at the PCV point at the rocker cover, have sliconed up temporary to test - no difference (perhaps slight though could be imagining) - timing was checked not...

thanks robert and voorland, rob - i'm in caulfield bit of a ways but may take you up on it if i cant sort out in mean time. i have alot to do - birfs,box etc in mean time but if i cant solve it i will deff take you up on the offer thank you heaps! thanks for input voorland haven't checked for...

Thanks Robert, i tried the gummed up dizzy and feels the same cold and warm. i had a play with the carby to check all linkages were working and my vac hoses before taking off too. all to no avail. any other ideas guys? thanks for the help so far.

nice one! will definitely try that! i have been scouring the internet for months about this thing and another common comment is check vacuum hoses. perhaps vac advance hose aswell. it's really doing my head in! and i only get one shot a day to try something new before the truck warms up and...

Thanks Bilt4me! The 3f carb is factory manual choke and had a play with that and it functions correctly so i doubt that is the issue. there is no heat riser fitted either, from top of carb it is straight air duct to air cleaner on opposite side of motor. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks Shaun but mounts all look fine. It is very temp dependent (must be cold from overnight) so things like mounts etc would present themselves at all temps it's like the power is cut when under load at rev's. Yet idles fine and revs in neutral fine too. give it about 4 mins running and...

Any chance this could be a clogged catalytic converter?? be clogged up cold and free up when it warms up? not sure if it fits but i'm grasping at straws at this point.

I have a weird problem. Starting cold is not a problem, idles fine, revs without load fine. BUT if I try and rev under load (driving while engine cold) the engine will act like it is out of fuel/spark, goes from 3000rpm to 1000rpm in a heartbeat but doesn't die. It is rather dangerous since you...

haha nice. The previous owner installed the hose. i think i'll have to do it properly somehow. i guess i should get rid of the hose once seal is done? Though i did read somewhere it can be a preventative measure to have one installed. Do the boxes have to come out or can it be done by...

Thanks John it's a '91 80 series. it has the old 3f (not 3fe) motor from the 40's in it. But the running gear should be the same as the 3fe etc. it's still fulltime 4wd. the transfer case is defiantly over filled. to the point that when i removed the speedo cable oil was poring out! what is...

Hi all hoping one of you can help, my speedo cable point at tfc has been leaking for a while but it has started leaking inside the cabin as well now so it's time to address it. as far as i know i need a seal - 96711-24030 for the outer part of the speedo drive at the transfer case. what...
