Gearbox Oil for 1946 Rover P2 ? - 1936 Rover P2

check the oil level and the type of oil in the gear box. If too much oil -that will make it hot. If too little oil -that will make it hot. IF the oil is not right viscosity -that will make it hot. get a infrared thermometer and read the gear box temperature to get an idea of the oil temperature as what feels hot on the stick may be operating temperature of the oil

You will need a new starter rebuilt ect. to replace the one you currently have that is defective. you sound like you are spinning the starter motor but the starter bendix is no longer engaging the flexplate/flywheel on the engine.

What electronic gearbox ? there will iether be a manual transmission ( thats where you can change gear using a clutch, thats the extra pedal on the left) or you have an automatic transmission( thats where you have a lever thats allows you to put it into R, D etc and DOES NOT have an extra peda) these gearboxes are not electronic, they are driven by oil pressure. What will you do when you find the ........ gearbox ?

That depends from where the leak is coming: it can be as simple as an loose drain plug, could get worse if it's a worn seal or can be terminal if the gearbox's case is fissured. Put the SUV on stands,clean the gearbox, start the engine at idle, put it into a gear (3 or 4 will do) and look from where the oil is coming.

simple the oil seal between the transfer gearbox and the main gearbox has gone the oil is flowing through from transfer box there is a level plug on the side of the transfer box I bet if you check there is very little oil in the transfer box get it sorted before the transfer box siezes up through lack of oil

use 15w-40 for the engine, ATF for the gearbox and 80w-90 for the diffs and transfer box. engine and gearbox have dipsticks for the levels, the diffs and transfer box have removable plugs for level checking, fill until the fluid comes out the level plug.

in the gearbox

First have the oil and gearbox filter replaced before you let someone tell you to repair or replace it.

Check the gearbox oil level with the engine running at the filler plug on the gearbox rhs.Fluid should just drip out when it's warm(not hot)refill if nothing comes out.If this is fine , have someone read fault codes on the gearbox , the temp. sensor could be faulty.

Hi the answer is yes ,,the oil in the cooler is the same in the transmision in automatic vehicles,if you miss any oil the transmision will not shift do to lost of oil pressure, and it can couse severe damage to the transmision... good luck
