Jay762 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Whilst you are working through have a look at this thread, one or two minor changes you could make along the way 😁😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hi n welcome, nice looking gc8 😎 although you seem to have a few issues , if you're not bad with a spanner , it doesn't sound too expensive 👍 Hopefully replacing the injector seals will resolve the leak and idle at the same time . 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saj.81 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Thanks guys. Has anyone had an issue removing the mechanical speedo cable from the gearbox. The plastic nut disintegrated when I showed it the spanner. Any ideas how to remove it with out dropping anything in the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 If you need more room to get at the speedo drive ? Could try removing the engine /gearbox stabilizer (dog bone mount on gearbox to bulkhead) supporting the gearbox cradle and undo the bolts ,then lowering the gearbox on a jack to tilt the engine and box . Tbh I don't know if this will give any better access but thought it was worth a mention. Otherwise buy some gearbox oil and prop/front driveshaft seals, downpipe gaskets and drop the box . If you can't get all of the old speedo out you'll either have to strip the box down to remove it or replace the box 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
