when i stopped, the car smelt bad, like oil bad...
last week when it died, my nose was blocked by a bad cold, and could smell nothing, this smelled a fair bit

anyways. im going to clean up the engine bay, work out how to get this 1/2 cut from brisbane down to vic, and then organise a mechanic to swap them over.

not sure what to do with the current transmission, whether its worth fixing & selling, or what? i jsut dunno

sigh, its good to have the car back though..
Can you elaborate a little on, "but very unreliable in 2nd." Is the transmission slipping, or what actually happens when in second?

Clean things up and find where oil is coming from. Meantime come to no final conclusions and best of luck.
