Mate, I think this is a great idea, I'm sure it can be pulled off. I have no idea what the gains would be or whether it would work well but I wish you luck. I have had this exact same idea going through my head the last few days and was researching it a bit last night but found this today. I too ...

Cheers. Just looking at the new kit and the old parts it seems like it would only fit in one way but I just want to be sure as I have all these new goodies I don't really want to stuff up;)

Cheers Brad.

OK guys, I am armed with a new reco box, clutch kit, freshly machined flywheel and have fitted a new pilot bearing. Problem is that I was supplied the wrong throw out bearing in the clutch kit and I couldn't bear to use the old one, so I play the waiting game again.... Also, does anyone know which ...

hulsty: It's a fine spline one and it had an alloy bellhousing, so I guess later than 1990? Problem is, it cost me $600 and it is semi pulled apart (I started to pull it down to put the bearing kit I have in it) and i won't get that money back. PM me if you would like to discuss further:) flyology ...

Cheers, thanks heaps for that guys. I have this posted on IH8MUD as well: I bought a spare box a few months ago with the intention of replacing the bearings in it to fit to my car. Long story short, the box was opened up before I got it and it looked to have been hosed out and then siliconed back ...

H55F advice wanted:)

HI there. I have a 1988 FJ70 with a 3F on gas and the gearbox is finally rooted. 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear syncros are stuffed and it whines really bad in all gears, particulary 4th. Transfer will need replacing too. What I would like is some advice on getting a reco/change over box for it at a good ...
