Oil change, now no drive.

AH. Just found it on eBay..


It's DIII..

[Aerotaz]

So, after a little more research, on here, I see it doesn't really matter if it's DII or DIII, as DIII has to be 'backwards compatible'..

SO, I'm gonna plump for this stuff..

You will be fine with that, get a few of them, top up with the 4.5L he drained, drive for around 100 miles, drain again, top up with fresh ATF. Then every time you do an engine oil change, drain and refill ATF to keep it fresh.

Anyway...................
have you checked the position of the transfer lever?

[Aerotaz]

Yep, thanks..

I think it's saying no because a sensor is telling it there's no oil in the gearbox..

Which is right..

I also tried a couple of shifts with it, when I first found there was no drive..

More likely there's no oil pressure to engage a gear....because there's no oil in the gearbox...

Yep, that too..

Just waiting on the oil.. Should be here tomorrow or Friday..

[Aerotaz]

Ok.. Oil arrived yesterday DIII. It only took a day to arrive, from placing order, so good service there..

Now, how long after putting it in, will I get an accurate reading..?

I know the engine has to be running, before I have a look..

Run it up, select all the gears...check the level...if it's over minimum and selects gears go for a short spin to warm it up...check again.

Hopefully all will be well....torque converter should really be filled before running it up (when rebuilding) so hopefully yours didn't completely empty itself.

All's well, it seems..

Thanks for all the help, Andyverran.. :-)
