Where to get Gearbox Rebuilt - Melbourne

Post by leehamescort »

G'day,

I've got a R151 Toyota gearbox that is getting a bit tired (220k's)
Refuses to downshift into 1st and 2nd these days.

Just wondering where the best place is to get one reco'd.

Rough cost? anyone who's done one before.

Is it worth getting a rebuild kit and having a go myself?

I've rebuild diffs but never explored inside the gearbox.

Cheers for any help.

Total Traction Drivelines, Cochranes Road Moorabbin.
Matt's not cheap but he's very good.

No idea on price.

He's not happy unless you're happy. Used to work for Jack Mac diffs and knows his stuff (If you had had the "pleasure" of meeting Jack you would know EXACTLY what I mean - absolute perfectionist with no room/time for BS.)
