To cut a long story short, went for a thrash, changing down through the box, no crunches nothing. Pulled up to the lights, fine. Pull away, up through to 3rd and clunk, clunk, clunk. Go into 4th, no noise. Drop to 2nd missing third, nothing. Back in to third, clunk, clunk, clunk. Ride home in 4th and 2nd. Read the TLR forums and this is commonly known as teeth coming off the thrid gear. 5 mins later, have a fag. Start looking at how to fix, engine strip required
Dropped the oil, inspect, few tiny little bits of metal, nothing major. Is there any way back? How much of a job is an engine strip and rebuild. I am pretty good with a tool kit but i imagine that i will need a bucket loads of seals and filters that would normally get replaced by a garage. Has anyone done this before? How hard is it? Should i just get a new engine?
HELP!!!
