G'day, I drive a 1978 Nissan Patrol G60 with 442,00 on the clock. No power steering, no airconditioning and no clutch shudder ! It has a Marks Adaptors 5 speed box which is not longer on the market. At 90kph you can still hear the passenger speak. At 100kph there is quite a high pitched whine and conversation is difficult and at 110kph it sounds like a 747 coming in to land at Sydney Airport and you can forget about talking. Any speed above that the gearbox is dead quiet but it is not safe to drive at that speed. Is there any reliable additive that I can add to the gear oil to make the noise go away?
I love my old truck as it is bulletproof, so reliable, starts first go after a bit of cranking and goes anywhere I point it. I am busy spending some dollars on it to do it up for some forays into the big sky country.... soon. Cheers, Willie
