I did mine a couple years ago, just purchase your synchro rings(baulk rings) for all gears or just second, third and fourth if youre on a tight budget (since these are the common gears that go). You will probably be better off doing main bearing and front and rear seals too.

Anyhow parts will probably cost you 300-500 depending on what you get. Then take it to gearbox shop and expect shitloads for labour (they are not easy to pull apart whatsoever). But on the upside, as good as new box for maybe a touch more than the second hand one.

Here's one I destroyed earlier!!!

Got into first, then second but third went BANG, then it sounded like I was draging a tailshaft under the car.

Got a s/h one and it's been good so far.......

Pull it apart in my carport, just need to buy long gear pullers and a ppg gearset or os gikken!

the insides: enjoy

LOL, I was waiting for someone to bring that up!!

I'll never use that oil again either.

After they put that in it was making a nice bearing whine noise that wasn't there before.

I now use castrol synthetic gear oil and castrol synthetic LSD oil, diff works like new!!!

well i had that decision when my diff went whiny whiny whiny, and i figured its cheaper and keeps my mind at ease KNOWING that your gb has just got all new seals and synchros, and that its gonna hold, and sometimes you might be lucky enough to get warranty. Rather than having a 2nd hand gb which you are unsure about. go the rebuild alot safer

Pm dan from elite racing . i think his username is 3lit3_32

good bloke to deal with. and wont stuff you around.

my opinion is. if your not confident in doing it yourself. let him do it.

i was about 75% confident in being able to do it. but at the end of the day. i have more confidence in him and his warranty on workmanship :)

Hint: some times called. Smurfs Blood

:ninja:

RellikZephyr

Not to get tooo off topic, but heres a good one of an old house mates gearbox when the smurfs blood tried to escape. Only problem was that it was a straight cut box that had been in for 2 weeks or so.

Nasty!!

Smurfs blood will always look for it's natural environment. It is futile to try and keep it contained in gboxes for too long.

Pitman arm puller is what is used to remove ball joints.

basically two or three adjustable arms with claws on the end and a threaded center bolt with tip.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
