He's fine if he bleaches and then fills the wood. By winter the shed could look brand new. But, I suspect he will put nails through the new paint and open it up again for next year's rot parade.

Only someone with no engineering feel would say something like that. The disc lift was a concept that was abandoned because the intended goal of raising the car on one side was found to have no practical value. The concept morphed into a disc press that was demonstrated in the tyre thread. The...

Here's a recorded segment of the noise in a short local shopping trip. Doesn't sound like clicking, but crunchy bearing balls. The noise is most prominent when car is decelerating before a stop. The recording expires in 24 hours. It would be a whole lot of trouble if it's bad gearbox bearings...

I just came to the realization that the mich inflator produced higher pressure when read by the china gauges was by design. Air heats up when compressed. The mich was compensating for that. This is why, once cooled down, the pressure in the play wheel stayed static and at the intended level...

Hopefully, it won't be the gearbox. I absolutely have no more room in the head for more stuff. The first step is to attain lift off for the car. I have a full blue print now but not yet started sawing wood for a 4 post jenga lift. Second step is to deal with the rust clumps of the factory...

Because the clicking noise doesn't sound muffled, another source for the noise is possible from the throw out bearing. I think the bearing is worn and now not fully in contact with the clutch diaphragm spring. This causes the spring to tap on the bearing during car deceleration - the bearing is...

The noise comes from the pump when fluid is low. Needing top ups means you have a leak. Follow the hoses connecting the reservoir and the pump to locate the leak. The leak would be at the highest point where you can see leaked oil. If you have no tools, you can soak up the excess with unwanted...

Here's the concluding reading at 4-week/1-month mark. My earlier projections prove to be good. The play wheel sat in the garage while the regular wheels subjected to some driving. Even the leaky worst wheel is not completely disastrous. It was the last to be inflated and it was over inflated...

What is your conclusion bet for this thread?

Man confirms it's easy.

A crash course on how the gearbox works. The man said the parts are expensive.

Gearbox rebuild is probably not difficult. Not sure about being able to get parts.

If you are confident, should place bets like last time.

Then it's f*ed, likely the gearbox is the problem. Do you have any views about DIY gearbox rebuild? Some youtube commenters on gearbox videos seem to suggest this might be possible. An additional detail is that when giving it little or no gas, the noise is prominent. But, giving it more gas the...
