Outer Limits 4x4 Board

has any one changed a gearbox out of a nissan 4x4 720 diesal before if so how did u do it?
i have looked at it and it looks like the hole front ifs diff would need to come out (the front diff looks like a gearbox itself its long) or would i be just better off taking the engine out to change the gearbox it really is a shit setup

any help appreciated

LOL it isnt a yellow dual cab is it? That was my old one, yes i had to take the front diff out. Was a C*** of a job. i couldnt really see antoher way of doing it either, it made life hard let me tell you, when it shat finally and shredded 3rd i got rid of her there a great truck but they are a pain to work on

yeh third gear is stuffed and its a yellow duelcab that im taking the box out of

sounds like its my old one.

well i had to pull the front diff out when i did it, maybe someone knows another method lol. Took me 4 cases and a long weekend.

yea wouldnt be many 720's in australia..

well 99% of them would have rusted away by now, so maybe it is yours..

yeah the bloke i bought my MQ off now owns a yellow duel cab 720, he bought it off a mate who has another 2 yellow duelcab 720s. my uncle only recently sold his yellow duel cab 720, got 12grand for it! was in imaculate condidion with a worked engine and 31inch claws and a few other mods... ran very very nicely... and theres a yellow duel cab 720 park down the street from me most weekdays...



rare as hens teeth them yellow duel cabs...

Yep I have & yes you do as the transmission cross member is not removable.

Its still a PITA with the diff out but at least you dont have the transfer attatched (if its the one with the divorced transfer).

yeh separate transfer
