Suggest that you give it an oil change and see what happens .

Re: CV joints
Ronald,
In my experience the best rear gearbox mounts are the Aussie one's from Greg Tunstell in Brisbane.
Even those one's don't like being soaked in gear oil for any length of time.

Re: Rusty Custard
If you can have a look underneath, check the weld around the diff extension where the 4 bolt fitting is welded to the tube. Had a similar vibration on my 2500 some years ago. Before the weekend when I was going to have a look, went over a railway crossing , lost drive and oil everywhere when the wel...

Re: Advice on carb setup
I wonder if you're placing too much importance on the air cleaner. I've run K&N filters on my TC for years with no abnormal results. I'd be more concerned with the condition of the carbs themselves. Jets, needles body wear etc.

Re: J type overdrive removal
Clifford, A belated thank you for the advice. Finally after lockdowns and others delays I finally got back into it today. Bolted everything back together, filled it with oil, hooked up the electrics, put the switch into direct drive, undid the bolts again, dropped the oil and the o/d came off with n...

Re: Old misfire - again
Sorry Clifford, Didn't mean for you to take my remark literally. My TC runs electronic ignition and runs on 98 octane fuel. I'll start of timing it around 8 to 10 degrees BTDC and then tune out the pinking as necessary so never end up as the book says. All I meant was that with modern fuels Its not ...

Re: Old misfire - again
Don't think it matters much today. Higher fuel octanes makes the whole thing academic anyway.

Re: Old misfire - again
I think I may have posted this before. Rebuilt an S a couple of years ago and reconditioned engine. Fitted Pertronix unit to distributor. Finally got her going and went for a test drive but ended up with a miss which I couldn't tune out. (S U carbs) After some time I took the dizzy of my well runnin...

Re: J type overdrive removal
Thanks Clifford,
So I'll have to put all the bolts back in as well as the oil. Just realised the last time I took the o/d off with no problems, it wasn't working because of broken O rings so of course the O/d wasn't engaged. Again thanks, I let you know the result.
