[superg]

Hi guys i have taken out the 4spd and transfer case on my FJ40. I was just wondering what are the main things I should be changing on the trans and transfer case before I put them back in?

Nothing just put it in the bin and get the 5 speed and T/case

just bearings was the main thing i changed in mine but then kitted it with a 5 speed n rock crawler gears

Yeah but if i put a 5spd in then I have to get rid of the handbrake behind the transfer case anmd put em on the rear wheels dont i?

the 4 speeds a great box when youre pulling it down just check the face of the teeth and make sure there not to sharp if they are get a reco's one because the gears are expensive and if theyre sharp theyll make shitloads of noise

There is no noise coming from the gearbox now, I was mainly thinking along the lines of any seals and stuff. i know there was some oil leaking from near the handbrake so im guessing there is some sort of seal there and ive also heard there is somethnig that you have to change so the oil can go back and forth between the gearbox and transfer case so it doesnt all stay in one of the 2, is this right?
