Thank you duffer,
A lot of things are problematic with this engine and most likely I will be looking to swap it for something better.

I will keep using the jeep this summer while being careful with the gear changes and take it apart in the winter to assess the damage.

Thank you for accepting me in your forum everyone!

My name is Labros and I from Greece, I have a CJ3B with a Perkins engine made in Spain by C.A.F.
It is currently in a bad state but it gets the work done.
I am (slowly) working to restore it. Here is a picture of it.

"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Is the transmission missing a bolt?

« on: May 20, 2021, 04:54:44 AM »

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I was under my CJ3B to grease it and I noticed what looks like a bolt missing from the transmission housing (see attached picture).
I have no idea if there was a bolt before or not as it's the first time I am checking the Jeep since I inherited from my father.

Furthermore there was oil where that missing bolt is, not a lot but just a few drops. Should there be a bolt there?

The jeep has a hard time shifting and I suspect the clutch is damaged/worn out but I haven't found the time to take the transmission down and inspect it.
Also I can't find the model number of the transmission so if anyone can tell where to look for it it will be of great help.

Thank you!
