Gearbox replacement

With about 4 feet of 1/2 inch drive extensions. You need to go in from the prop end over the top of the box. Lower the back end of the box slightly.

 

A wobble extension helps as does someone with small hands to help guide it on from the top.

Ack it's an easy job - done 2 with my Dad in just over a week :eek:

 

Jack the engine sump (block of wood between jack and sump) up a little as near to the front of the car as possible once you've unbolted the prop and tranny mount to give you better access to the top bellhousing bolts. Drain the box too as it saves you a whole 2KG lol (you can only get out what's in the autobox sump). As mentioned, roughly 2x long 1/2" drive extensions and 2x short ones is about the right length to let you unbolt the top bellhousing bolts from the back of the box where it joins the prop.

 

Only use Toyota Type IV fluid.

 

HTH,

 

Brian.
