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 :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
