5/'01:
I've been investigating the noise of the
Rocky's
transmission.
Finally I found one of the importer's mechanics. He says he's been working
for years in Rockys, the noise is from the gearbox - there is in the lower
side a secondary shaft (locally called triple) and, because of a design
problem, this shaft is deformed, twisting along, helically. It happens to
some units, not all of them. He has no notice of this problem being
dangerous, just a noisy annoyance.
Probable fixing cost, about US$700 - (seven hundred).
If the shaft is not found locally and has to be imported from Japan, it
could take about 90 days.
He is the second mechanic to say the same.
Anyway, he agreed that my Rocky is in a "best" general condition, compared
to the average mid nineties ones found here.
It is a relief to know it is not dangerous, because of the US$700.
