[urq] A new project : a 5000TD !

[Mike Sylvester]

I 2nd on the bad transmission.
They will swap fluid between the transmission and the diff.
It is common to pull the fill plug on the diff and have a lot of extra
fluid come out.
Worse however is the gear oil in the automatic part.

Definitely replace the fluids in both halves.


wrt the keys, the Bentley shows where to drill the hole.
If needed, I could scan that page and post it on my site.
