Hi guys,

RB26, JB clutch and stock flywheel

- Car has firm (but not overly hard) suspension

- Bit of a resonance issue at cruising speeds (from exhaust)

- Shifter will pop out of gear after about 5 min on the highway, or bit earlier if the road is a bit rough

What should I start looking at to fix?

Cheers...

If it happens when you back off more than likely you have a worn gear ( the one that pops out)

mine pops out of the tops gears, i have removed the gearboot and it helped for a while, but it still does it does that means the gears are destroyed? it maybe the 300rwkw goin through it though lol....

Yer you'll be looking at replacing the synchro hub assembly mate...won't know for sure until you pull apart the box but those are the symptoms that usually go with it. In a way it's good because there's no bullshit bandaid solution like using a different grade oil to silence problems, forcing you to repair it properly hehe :D

Bout $1000 to recondition it mate, plus the labour of pulling the gearbox out / installing it again. Oops, I just realised you aren't the OP that I originally addressed my questions to lol. Same problem anyway...

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
