I have just purchased my new 1990 90. I am told its had a gearbox and rear axle change to that from a disco, but thats all the info i got.
In the middle of changing fluids, but having a couple issues.
Gearbox- the plate with the code is not legible...AT ALL! Oil came out the colour it would go in!
Transfer box - R380, couldn't find any oil from the filler plug and hardly any came out the drain, but what did come out was manky. The drain plug had swarf(?) on it, but not a huge amount. Is there any way to check for damage due to lack of oil? The gearbox is smooth enough when driving, but how do i check the transfer box?
Both diffs had limited amounts of oil in them. What came out was the typical milky colour, but also some thicker black oil too. I notice that on the hub axles, a couple bolts look oily.... would the oil be coming out there?
On the rear diff (axle has disc breaks, but diff looks same shape etc as the front), there is oil around the assembly.... Where could this be coming from? Is it likely that there could be a crack or something on the diff?
