the gears are huge on this thing anyways I have recently put in this box in and i would of thought it would turn out to be a brand new box as in perfect smooth slow gear changes like a brand new car, but they are alittle notchy. Is this normal?

well you hsvent changed or replaced the part that actually changes gear, namely the synchros. link on the "drag gears"?

Ohh HOw much are the synchros worth? Is it hard to replace them later on down the track? As in is it a big job? I dont have a link i was just told by Mark @ hills what they were and what they called. Now that you mentioned it wtf is he on about drag version?? This guy supposedly knows a whole lot of shit on GTR i cant find anything on a drag version 5 gear set. And do they use the normal 4th gear? So does that mean my old 4th gear is in there or Osgiken redone a 4th gear but used the same stock ratio? and If there is no 4th gear why do they call it 5 speed if they only give you 4 gears in the package, im confused.

      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.
