All,
This summer I'll be working down my TODO list on my 2000 D2. It runs mostly well, but leaks from EVERYWHERE, needs a new radiator, oil cooler hose, and probably a few other things. The biggest PITA leak I'll be tackling is in the t-case. One of the bolts on the upper engine-side is stripped, and slowly leaks sulfurous oil all over my driveway. I've removed it and re-installed with a bunch of silicone through the transmission tunnel, but it still leaks. Needs to be drilled out and re-threaded. Also my torque converter's check-valve has never worked very well, and needs to be replaced.
So, I'm planning on pulling the whole engine-transmission-tcase. While it's all out I'll do other major stuff like the steering box re-mounting to get rid of the "groan". What else should I do while it's all out and everything is easy to get to?
The engine runs OK, but cylinder compression is all over the board. Clean valves? Replace valve springs? Timing belt? It's a ~200k mile old engine.
Anything on the transmission?
