HI Guys & Gals

Can some one tell me If the gearbox oil is not being cooled because the pipe work is blocked from the gearbox to the radiator what effect would this have on the gear box or changing gear

Thanks
Graham

Not a lot. Don't forget that these cars were designed to pull loads up mountains or cross deserts. If all that you are doing is 'normal' day-to-day driving you're unlikely to cause any issues. I'd still put it fairly high on your to-do list though.

It may have an effect on the poor little pump trying to push oil around the cooling system.

If the gearbox lasts that long with no oil feed to the main shaft
