I need to amend that post from last week with the following: "In apparent need of a tranny rebuild..." Serves me right, eh... I need help. I have promised my twins that we would be camping at the motocross nationals this weekend. This entails a 300 mile trip (total) on flat freeway. Am I foolish to drive this last trip before the syncro goes into convalesence? Is it likely I will damage the ring & pinion (is that right?)if I drive it 300 miles gently? My understanding is that that part alone is about $500. The tranny noise is recent and not too bad and only at higher freeway speeds. Any help appreciated. steve |
