a 2nd hand box could cost up to 800, and a complete seal kit doesnt cost more than 50.

in my case the input shaft seal was leaking.

Mate just got a change over box from repco, $420. Was told because it was totally stuffed, no assist even at idol it wasnt worth rebuilding.

$910 from toyota brand new.
Cheers,

The input shaft seal is the main seal to go, you turn it 10 times to get one revelution on the mainshaft, so it figures
A set of seals in that other box would recondition it, seal kits are not cheap,. $80 aftermarket or $200 Toyota as a rough guide, but there is very little to wear other than seals in there...
