Oil change.   Ready for racewars.  Made sure I didn't do a Ralph and overfill it.

I swapped out my bent axle the other day and decided to go for a spin yesterday. 

 

I gave it a bootfull and nek minute the dash lights up, the speedo dies and I can smell burning trans fluid. 

 

I pulled over, switched it off and after a bit of cranking it started with a slight miss that cleared up after a few seconds. 

 

I drove away gently and the trans flaired between first and second and then into third as well. It came good after that so I just drove sedately until I got home. 

 

I guess I'll be under the car fixing the leak and topping up the trans today. Fark me I need a hoist, I'm getting to old for this sh*t.

Fark it. 

 

The trans isn't leaking and the level is fine.

 

The centre bearing on the tailshaft is farked and the rubber coupling to the gearbox is cracked. 

 

There is still a clunk coming from the rear subframe. Nothing is loose and I can't see anything moving that shouldn't be. They're is a fair amount of play between each wheel in the diff. I wonder if that's making the noise? 

 

Fark it anyway, I cbf'd with it anymore.

Someone lend me a lighter.

Drove home from work and, as has done for about 4 years, lightly scraped the exhaust on my drive way.

But this time...

BOOM instant full open dump pipe noise and cat resting on the ground.

Dammit. Broken off just under turbo manifold. To be truthfull, it had been getting noisier and I did have plans to fix it but now it's gone completely LOL

 

So I've just ordered a Venom cat replacement pipe and I'm guessing I should get this thing tuned once fitted.

Downside is I have to sell the Ute soon as we have a new family member showing up around July.

 

So I finally get to play with the horsepowers....but only for a couple of months.

 

Sigh.
