Hilux Gearbox question.

Well the new engine is running well in the lux, but the gearbox doesn't seem to like it too much.
Well its shifting fine but 2nd gear is now making a horrible screaming noise! Sounds like a bearing has gone or something. Other gears are fine.
Whats my best plan of action and what actually is wrong?
New Gear Box?
New Bearing?
Upgrade to Dyna Box?
DIY Recon?
Cheers.

tonka up here in the sunny state, the g52 sell in the trading post for 300 to 500 secound hand and recoed, ones in the post for a while for 750
, so if it needs to be pulled down save the time, but not the effort

You can get rebuild kits off EBAY for about $250
and do the work your self or get a w56 a stronger and better box that will i think bolt straight up,(PLEASE ANYONE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG).

Thanks for the info.
I had no idea if there was a recco kit or such for that box. I think the box has never been touched in the 20 odd years its been in the lux.
Cheers..

Rebuilding gear boxes isnt a small job, u will need special tools, a press and a hyd puller.
