if you do a seal, use a genuine toyota seal, there about $70..money well spent..

after market cheap seals are crap and will leak in a very short time.

Replies: 12
Views: 815

this might help, providing the diffs are still factory ratio..

Example: G292 = 8.0" 4.10 final ratio 2 pinion

Code:
1ST R&P SIZE 2nd/3rd R&P RATIO 4th DIGIT PINION SET-UP
F = 7.5" 07 = 3.900 2 = 2 pinion
G = 8.0" 08 = 4.110 3 = 2 pinion LSD
10 = 4.375 4 = 4 pinion
14 = 4.875 5 = 4 pinion LSD ...

the lever will have jumped out of its gate, pull the boots off to expose top of the box, roll back the boot on the transfer lever, remove the sirclip take the lever out and realign, mime did this on the weekend and only took 5 mins to fix.

the oil dump will have to go into the sump, the 3L block is different, as in no hole for the oil dump, but everything else is pretty much the same and dont forget to wind the pump up a little.

the 5speed box is 110mm longer than the 4speed, this also puts the cross member to g/box mounting point out.
apart from that, bolt straight in.
