T1,
I checked out UMMPA on Google Earth...
Are you sure there's room?

Re: Deceased Jimny
Rest easy Ray, Jim is scheduled to be fitted into an available time slot with the young bloke up the road to pull the transmission out so I can strip it and see if a rebuild is practical or if it's better to search for another transmission. My neck and back are no longer interested in crawling under a vehicle to unbolt anything much, so avoid indefinite delays on Jim's return to life I'll have to pay someone to do the R&R part ... that's a mechanics term for Remove and Replace, thought I'd best add that before the clever people on this forum twisted into something a little more sinister

Oh Terry, what you said? Some of the people here may be offended. There aren't any smart arse's here except for ..... and ..... and a few others.
If you can't fix the trans then let me know and I will see if some of the local Suzi wreckers have anything that might be of assistance.

I suspect the torque converter has disintegrated and spread the fine metal bits through the transmission. If I can get all the bits out of the valve body and get it functioning again and fit a new torque converter it shouldn't be too nasty a job, but if the bits are logged in friction plates and Torrington rollers, then it's a bin job and source another one from a Wrecker or maybe a reco unit if such a thing exists.

Re: Deceased Jimny
I was chatting to a mechanic coupla weeks after The Great Handover.
Described how Jim declined then karked it.
His guess—and he stressed it was a guess— is that the two halves of the torque converter somehow came together and destroyed one another.
Good luck, T1!
Hope he is wrong.

Re: Deceased Jimny
That is my diagnosis as well, the Torrington roller collapses that keeps all the bits away from each other and they just rip each other to shreds, spraying all the bits through the transmission via to transmission fluid till it jams something up. A lot of oil is pumped through the torque converter to keep it cool so it doesn't take very long for it move the fine bits of metal through the other parts.Greynomad wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 10:00 pm I was chatting to a mechanic coupla weeks after The Great Handover.
