Anyone got time to help out a newbie with a transmission/clutch...
I've got to admit i'm a little lost...
I mean.. I basically know what's going on.. but I could use a hand.
Had a slipping clutch.. so I cracked the bell housing open (have an over drive.. so it won't move too far back till I get that off)
The inside of the bell housing .. well everything other than the actual clutch is covered with black gook.. It doesn't feel like grease Kind of gummy.. but its black and sticky. Some places its about 1/8th inch thick. Don't know if its engine or transmission.. and it seems all cars are different in how they get fixed as to seals and bearings.. .. it has a new slave cylinder on it.. maybe its clutch fluid? It doesn't have much of a smell and degreaser doesn't touch it. When I got it on my hands it began to melt into a sticky ooze.
Anyway.. I could really use someone knowledgeable in land rovers to discuss (in private chat/email /phone) how to proceed. I generally turn a wrench pretty well, but I'm not ALL that experienced with it and am a little nervous.
Anyway.. if someone could please..
I'd be appreciated.
Thanks
