hey i've developed a wining/grinding noise in 5th and to a lesser extent 3rd in my G52 (thats wats in a LN65 with a 2L isnt it) i've been told all bearings are rooted and nerang diffs and gearboxs will rebuild it for around $650. is that a good price? is it worth looking at a second hand box from wreckers/ for sale section? or how hard is it to rebuild it myself?? (never rebuilt a box before) i've read in other threads that bearing and seal kits for them are only like $200-$300.
any help would be great i dont think its going to last much longer.

my gearbox going to die

Exactly the same thing happened in my hilux,
grinding/whining noise got worse and worse, especially
when I got off power down a hill or something.
I went wheeling a few times and the gear-stick would pop out
of first alot too.
However, I did manage to drive it round for about 6 months like
that, and could have maybe milked another 2.
$650 is a good price for the work, I paid about $800 exchange
down in sydney, and they didn't do the best job in the world.
you wouldnt want to do it yourself if you havn't done one before.
I have a workshop manual and that section alone is about 15 pages long. And looks like ALOT of work.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers,

you absolutely cannot go past Daikin, either Safari tuff (very high clamp force and offroad durability, fairly progressive) or 'Xtreme', high clamp force and durable, but not so progessive, in fact until you ger used to having 3mm of pedal being the difference between all in or all out, you think its a switch - either on or off.

Howd the new box go?
Yeah go the Daiken,
I had the Safari Tuff or whatever it is fitted about 1.5 years ago,
and it still feels practically new. PLENTY of life left in it.
I have changed gears while the car was submerged to the bonnet
several times back when Jackos was the go, and it never let up on me.

got the truck back on friday, all fixed. yay. ended up just getting a standard clutch as there wasnt a heavy duty one on the coast wen i needed it. but for $82 (gotta love trade price) i can burn out 3 before i could buy a daikin. 
whole job ended up costing me $860 for all new bearings, seals, 4th gear sincro, rear main seal, machined fly and clutch.
not too bad i thought. only thing is the shift from 2nd to 3rd is different now is that bad??

Yeah that's pretty much what mine was like too.
That's what they are supposed to be like I guess.
Once you get used to the "notch-iness" off it, you'll
realise how much stronger and tighter it feels,
especially off the road!
Word of note however, my gearbox got real loose real
quick, and it turned out that the bodge-masters that reco'd it
the first time, had not put a nylon bushing in correctly and it failed
prematurely, but after I had that replaced properly, it has all been sweet.
So keep an eye on it, keep your receipt, and get them to fix it under warranty.
