lpg for a/c
From what I remember from TAFE, lpg was very abrasive/dry, and the gas didnt mix well with a/c oils, ie the gas would not pick the oil up to lubrcate the compressor etc. We tried it and was really cold heaps better than r134a. Filling the system with lpg may require a workcover certificate/+plate ...

The reason it doesnt make a noise in fourth is because in fourth the whole input main shaft is locked up like one big shaft form engine to transfer. The throw out would be making a noise no matter what gear it was in. It is most probably cluster gears ( 1st 2nd 3rd )or bearings on cluster. G52 drop ...

tyre size
Federal and State Acts, allow for a 50mm increase in tyre diameter, for an 80's to be engineered "legally" it would have to have diffs fitted from a vehicle that orinally had tyres within 50mm of 44 inch tyres. just because it has an engineers certificate doesnt make it legal.
