dunno about any of those questions, but we had a jackaroo, until of course the engine decided to do itself in and go bang,
apparently holden put the wrong size bolts inside the engine somewhere, probably the bolts that hold the piston rods to the crankshaft, because one fine afternoon one of the pistons went flying the the top of the engine
I'd look into it. apparently most were called back, but ours was one that didn't.
hope this saves you from a future headache.
cheers

Probably 2.0 or 2,3 litre - I reckon 2.3 litre. If you need to replaxce the motor at any stage you can go 2, 2.3 or 2.6 with a little work.

Gearbox jump either due to not enough clearance for lever or r00ted tranfer case. Can't answer that without seeing.

The hubs can be rebuilt or at least cleaned up and regreased.... they're not that hard but first time out you might need some help since how they work is a little funny.

Don't fill them with heaps of grease or they wont work.

there arte no linkages on the gear box for the gear shifts its all internal,
as for transfer case what sort of dollors are we talking to replace?
