I decided to start driving my rover a bit more. It had been sitting and I kept staring at while driving away in my other car, wishing I was in the rover instead
. Its been fine the whole week, except today it seemed to wake up on the wrong side of the driveway. While making a turn, the transmission downshifted and made a loud CLUNK. It makes these clunks at low speed, and out of complete randomness. I have a feeling it is the governor on the back of the transmission, because in the morning it won't shift until the rpms reach at least 3k, once it warms up it will shift at 2k and 2500 like normal.
The temp gauge also started dancing around, I know it is an electrical problem and not actually overheating. The needle would only move under certain circumstances and is normally tolerable. However, today it really started doing the hokey pokey and would go back and fourth from center and hot. I am getting very tired of this and want to fix it next week when I attempt to repair the headliner. I know it is a ground loose somewhere, but have no idea which one and where to look. So I have to ask those who have experienced and repaired this problem, what grounds did you repair, and where were they? Thanks in advance!
