destroying 79 series cruiser Transfer input shafts
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 11:05 am
got a 79 series landcruiser, on to my 3rd transfer input shaft in 7 months.
On these the out put shaft from the gear box and the input shaft to the transfer are joined with a sleeve, after stipping the spline off of the original toyota jobby (aparently a common problem) i replaced it with an after market 1 wich is much thicker, stronger and covers the gearbox output shaft a bit more. the new input shaft and adapter sleeve is now a 1 peice job ($200). ( this 1 is designed to over come the fault descibed above.)
any how after 7 months i've broken the new "beefed up" one. sheared the adaptor sleeve off just b4 the start off the transfer input shaft. WTF...GRRRR.....
So b4 i just replace it with the same after market job (gettin a new 1 under waranty) does any 1 no if any manufactures make an extra heavy duty unbreakable one ??. dont wanna keep pullin the transfer apart every few months
