IIRC the Feroza gearbox/ transfer case assembly is supposed to weigh around 60kg? Plenty of people on here have done them themselves- me, I'm chickening out and paying a mechanic! :oops:

Been there done that, it's not that hard, saves money, I had burnt out the stardard clutch after a major tow with a FJ55 cruiser. :D

Didn't do it on my own, didn't have a transmission jack, so i got a mate, 2 jacks and lotta swearing and sweat. in the end it's all good. ;)

easy to do yourself with the help of a trolley jack. :)

had my gearbox out a month or so ago to change a flogged out thrust bearing.

Does anyone have advise on religning the clutch plate?
AWD is a poor excuse for a 4WD.

i didn't need it as when's the gearbox's out, i stick my head in that tunnel and had a look thru the centre, line it up and tighten the bolts for the pressure plate, got it in after 2nd attempt. ;)

haha.. same here. i use my eye sight plus i feel with my fingers to make sure the clutch plate 'feels' like it's the same distance from the edge of the flyweel/pressure plate all the way around.

A Bolt with a bit of tape wrapped around it works fine.
