Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone on SAU would feel like taking my gearbox out for some cash in hand.

It seems a bearing or something has let go and you can ear rattling + screeching every now and then when clutching in.

Also seems when the clutch isn't pushed in you can hear the rattle and also what has been described as a thrust bearing noise.

This is my last try before biting the bullet and hitting up one of the local shops to do it for me but that will cost me my savings that were going towards new rims.

Text me or pm me your price

Cash in hand or drinks lol

Why cant you do it, what do you need, tools or time?

Its only about 12 bolts, you just need 3 extensions and a uni joint for the bellhousing.

No tools and never done it before.

I am to worried ill stuff something up and cost myself a gearbox.

Also don't have stands or anything

Read the tutorial (im sure theres one).

Then you can get an idea if you can do it.

I can lend some stuff (stands, jack).

Its simple but heavy, dont know how youd break it getting it out, it will wreck things you drop it on (like your hand or foot).

I've never helped someone do one, but it looks like it'd be awkward as all f**k in a driveway withthe car on stands. I think it'd be worthwhile trying to get the car as high as possible though.

Do you actually know what's wrong with it and how to fix the problem whn you get the box out?

I'm doing mine in the next few days, it takes a day yes, but it saves $500 so it's not a bad idea to have a crack, in saying that I don't suggest you try unless you get someone experienced to make sure it goes together correctly etc..... It is good to have it up high but I use double stands when I do gearboxes on the ground as I don't trust them when u wriggle the phuck outta the thing to get it out.....

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
