I took the plunge...
Bought my self a 109 station wagon series III with big tyres on and a Perkins Prima engine...
Drove it home 35 miles, took a bit of getting used to! But loved it. Only problem was gears jumped out a good few times (in any gear). Knew it had and issue with the box before I purchased, thought it was leaking out the bell housing. So i stuck a litre of ep90 in before i set off.
Not so sure now.
Drained gearbox, less than a litre in there. So opened the transfer case filler plug and... there it all was, litres and litres of oil came gushing out!
So... could a lack of oil cause the gears to jump out? Do I just need to keep topping up the gearbox oil and emptying off the transfer case? or is it new box time?
Cheers all
Will
