ok we have a V8!!!
« on: June 12, 2006, 02:42:52 pm »
Its not a yank though but it is a 6.2 V8..

Its my Uncles 1973 Bentley T Series.  Hes letting us have it for a bit as it needs stuff doing.

I got it going yesterday after standing for 2 and a bit years.. engine was fine but now missing.  Breaks seemed fine so took it around a private test track.  

When your going along you loose drive and the engine just revs but you dont go anywhere..  When you select reverse it takes ages to engage..

Is the tranny bummed and need rebuilding or ideas?


1968 VW T2 Bay Bus (currently being restored and upgraded)
1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ (modern classic daily driver)

I would say yes, it needs rebuilding, before mine went it Lost drive a couple of times & it very rapidly got sent in for a rebuild!
