Hey ther, first post,
just picked up a 01 tf rodeo 2.8td, 290k runs well, changed all fluid and noticed while i was under there a barb fitting with no hose on it.
wondering if this is some sort of breather or if it is of more importance, if it is a breather that should be easy and i can run it into the engine bay
Also gears seem quite stiff and can be loose at the same time, 4th is mushy with the gate for reverse, 1st and 2nd are quite stiff. have replaced with new oil.
I took the shifter out tonight, the top dust seal is broken, inside the selector end and bush its filthy, full of aluminised looking grease/grime. ive cleaned it out a bit, but curious if i can remove the remote housing and give it a better clean up. also the shifter itself looks to have some significant wear from friction with the grease/dirt.
Ive found a replacement bush, but is it worthwhile looking for another shifter or just clean it up and throw the new bush in and off i go?
cheers and no doubt youll hear more from me.
