Just connect them together and see how it goes if no more leaks then you have sorted it and can leave like that or alter pipe work to reduce possible leak points.

When I did my P38 I dropped it 🫣 Had to meticulously clean it all up from carpet lint re grease and reassemble, while bubbling with rage, but wasn’t tight nevertheless, could all be pushed home with a firm clamp.

As long as the slip joint is on the transfere case side you cant really install it wrong. But if if you managed to get that wrong i doubt it would cause vibrations. Are you on air suspension or coils? Ride height makes quite a diffrence to...

Are you sure its coming from the sump gasket? Another place it could be from is the valley gasket and it then runs down the front of the timing cover. Check that both the PCV breathers along with their hoses are not blocked. The nipples that...

+1 ^^^^^^

I'd give it a good clean down and check it again after a few miles. If there has been a leak for a while, the oil will be in every minute place and will slowly ooze with the engines heat. Hopefully you don't have to drop the sump👍

I had the car on a ramp and the front propshaft u-joints are indeed slightly out of phase. Didn't take the shaft out to verify if it's 2 teeth. The rear shaft has them in phase. So the search for what's causing the vibration continues.. I did...

This was frankly an incredible read. Thank you for making my flight go by in a heartbeat.

Taller gears require more torque accelerating or not just to maintain speed against drag but you cannot seem to grasp that fact.

Okay i didnt know that. There are definitely on the Thor

No adaption values on the diesel, I believer there are on later petrols.

I have no idea what it looks like on the diesel but just take the dipstick tube with you to a hydrolic shop and ask them for a viton o-ring. If you just use a normal rubber oring it will swell with time and probably start leaking agin with a few...

The OP doesn't understand the equation:- taller gearing = lower revs = more torque needed = more load on the engine. Even if the electronics do not throw a wobbly and he can get it into top gear with the torque convertor locked, it will be like...

Cannot believe there is 23 pages of this sh1t. It stopped making sense on the very first page!

Okay I was away for a bit but soon I'll have a go at figuring out the phasing of my propshaft. I have a feeling this may be my issue and am hoping on a near-free fix which would be nice for a change! I'll keep this topic up to date once I...

Have you tried resetting the gearbox adaptor values? The joltiness when going from a neutral into a gear kinda sounds like adaptor values that have not been reset. But tightening the valve body bolts is defintely worth it. I have no idea what...

Does the gearbox slip once its in gear? That will be the main symptom of low oil pressure.

We fill it on even ground with the engine running at cold start.

I'm very sorry to say it, but if you have metal powder in the oil, it's time for a rebuild or a second hand replacement.

Not a friggin specialist is he then?

Yeah it works now

Brace yourself, I expect there's another one incoming momentarily.

I tried to help to just to close it out around 10 pages back. I think we just need to drop it now, every post gets another essay as to why we're being laughed at. I'm ok with being laughed at.

Divorced did you say? Work for yourself because no one would employ/work with you did you say?

The latest gents Running like clockwork! A slight oil leak from a failed filter housing seal and another from the oil cooler. Otherwise good as new. Just a fan and transmission tunnel carpet to fit

It says your video is private

If you just going to scarp it why all the bother? Just thrash it down the road at 1500rpm instead of 1200rpm and be done with it.
