Hej guys,
I bought 'Franky' mid Sept. in Melbourne with 337,000 km and am now with 340.280 km in Adelaide. I've driven with him through the Desert and Murray-Sunset National Parks on rough corrugations and some nice sand dunes. It was my first real outback 4x4 experience and fun.
Since I bought it, shifting gears (especially into the 1st and 2nd) was always a bit heavy. But it got always easier after driving half an hour or so.
I also recognised, that when I drove for some time, stopped and got out of the car, that there was a for a few seconds a smell what I can only describe as burning rubber. I haven't figured out, where it comes from. Maybe just the tyres?
And yesterday I found oil on the driveway, had a look under the car and found the transmission case covered in oil. I guess that's not really healthy.
Anyone any suggestion what I can or should do?
After a bit research I figured that it would be a good idea to get the transmission oil serviced, as I don't know, when it was the last time. I also read about that I could do it on my own, but couldn't find any helpful instructions ... Could be better anyway to get it done by a professional. But then again: flush and filter change or not?
Here some pictures:
Cheers,
Jacob
