Hi mate,

Need more info on this to diagnose...some questions you can answer:

1. When you changed from 5th to 4th what happened...did you lose drive in 4th?

2. How did you "idle" it to the side of the road? Just coasting or in one of the gears?

3. Do any of the gears work including reverse? If not, then input shaft could be snapped, clutch exploded or diff/tailshaft problem.

4. Does the car make any noises while idling in neutral? Does this change when you push the clutch in and out?

1: lost drive in 4th but no drive in any gear.

2:just coasted in neutral to a stop

3:no gears work including reverse

4:no weird noises in neutral or gear but when in gear and lifting foot to drive thats when theres a noise like something has broken or not engaging.Thanks for getting back to me any help in the right direction much appreciated.

Does this noise also occur if you take your foot off the clutch in neutral? Or only when you've selected a gear? If the first one, sounds like input shaft has shredded its teeth or the clutch has exploded. If the second, then output shaft, tailshaft, diff or CV joint will be the culprit.

You said there were no bangs or crunches when you lost power, which is unusual for losing drive. Could be a CV joint has popped out or teeth have stripped off in the diff/gearbox perhaps.

Get it towed to a mechanic - once up on a hoist you'll be able to suss it out pretty easy. Hopefully it's in the drivetrain and not the gearbox/clutch that's gone on you - this gets more exxy!

Okay no noise in neutral could be a good sign because in neutral the clutch and input shaft are still rotating...so that means you've lost drive somewhere after the gearbox. HOPEFULLY not the output shaft of the gearbox. Likely culprits include tailshaft falling out / snapping (you'd probably notice this), a cv joint has popped out or snapped, or the diff has done a gear :)

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
