I WAS IN THE RCT 1965/1970 AND TRAINED A LOT OF DRIVERS ON STALWARTS. ONE DID 6000 MILE ON A CLUTCH WHICH WAS FITTED IN BACK TO FRONT.

I am told it is easy to fit the clutch plates the wrong way around....

@@RONAEMVCS it’s reassuring to know that if you do fit one the wrong way round it’ll still work !

That is just AWESOME! Serious question though, being a 6x6 would you not get 'transmission wind up' driving it on sealed roads? Excellent film, could have been a bit longer and possibly shot through the roof hatch? ;-)

Yes they suffer from transmission wind up. The Stalwart was mostly intended to be a off road machine. I now have a trailer to transport the vehicle long distances over highways

Used to drive them in Germany, we would regularly go up and down kerbs to try and release the backlash.

Take them cross country to bounce out the wind up. That's why we painted white lines on the hubs!

@@coops9871 Yes that was the standard method of releasing the “windup” on the final drives. On soft ground it was not an issue, but was a common problem when driving on hard surfaces. It was standard practice to paint a straight line across each final drive end cap, in the same plane, so that you could see when the final drives were wound up. If the lines were not parallel to each other then you had wind up. If the the wind up became too severe, you would experience “lock up” of the final drives and the vehicle would not move. That could be easily released by jacking up the vehicle, the drive would release and spin back into position, it is surprising how much wind up a final drive and torsion bar can absorb. But as aforementioned, the easiest way to avoid wind up was to bump over a curb, usually when you were pulling into a service station for example. I worked on Stallies for years as a young mechanic in the REME, they were a particular favourite of mine

Never drove anything this heavy on the road but I had a lot of wheel time in early 4WD Subarus and remember the warnings about never leaving the rear axle engaged on dry pavement.
