Hey guys first post. Did a search without much luck.
I've got a bit of a mongrel 2.8 TD lux. Was a 1993 petrol then had a near new 1997 2.8 diesel and aftermarket turbo chucked in. The problem I'm getting at the moment is massive amounts of heat from the gearbox, so much that sometimes you don't really want to hang onto the shaft of the gear stick. It was intermittent but now I'm always getting a decent amount of heat, short or long trip. Engine temp is good, only effected on long trips a bit. Rear main seal looks to have shit itself because of this along with the line from the rear of my new alternator so looks like oil temp is rising? Mechanic just says "she's a big girl and works hard!" But I don't really agree. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry about the long post
