thanks for the information.

thanks for your replies. i know about the plates that give that information, my problem is i have not got my car with me. it is at an auto transmission mechanic at the moment. the gearbox and torque converter were rebuilt by a well known auto trans mechanic here in Australia (Melbourne ) and now...

anyone ?????

which auto transmission do i have ? i have a 1990 hdj80, vx sahara 4.2 t/d auto. i would like to know what gearbox it is, is it a440 or a442. is it hydraulic. was there any changes to the box in that year as it was the first year of the 80 series. any feedback much appreciated.

i had my auto box and torque converter rebuilt by wholesale automatics australia and now my mechanic has got it back and went for a run in it and it has no second gear :bang:. looking for any feedback as to why you think second gear does not work. my mechanic is ringing wholesale auto tomorrow ...

yeah they do lack a bit on take off. will be ringing around tomorrow to find out how much dollars and what sort of results i could get. just like to be reassured i guess by the people who have had it done.

has anyone had there ct26 high flowed(there would be a few i think). can you tell me what sort of gains you got, ie power and torque. and was it a very noticeable improvement. i am thinking this would be a good thing as i am towing a large-ish caravan and feel it could use more power and...

exploroz seems like a very clicky bunch and ready to shoot you down if your not one of 'them'. same as the gold prospecting forums here in australia they talk rubbish, so i read the american arizona outback for all my info.

no that's without turbo, fuel pump or timing belt. i had the turbo and fuel pump rebuilt by united diesel in perth.

all up it was $12700 from kalamunda toyota perth. motor was $8250, oil pressure sender, new engine mounts, timing belt, radiator sent out for service and repairs, cooling system flush, alternator and starter motor sent out for service, and an assortment of gaskets ,hoses, and clamps,and labor...

310'000klm's . i had that one rebuilt by a cowboy from blackwater in queensland. that rebuild lasted to perth and by that time he had gone out of business. so i got a brand new one installed by toyota in kalamunda.

i did have a high klm motor until 3000klm's ago when i got a brand new one. just wanted to know if i should still be paranoid about the b.e.b going. i do frequent exploroz a fair bit but this site seems to be the ducks nut's for mechanical info. thanks

I did hear that about the 100,000klm's to do the b.e.b just as a precaution . i do oil changes every 5000klm's as i am towing a 23 foot caravan. thanks for the reply

what i would like to know is would the b.e.b problem with the 1hdt still be a problem with a brand new motor from Toyota. i would have thought it would have been fixed as they built new motors after they new about this problem. thanks

thanks george, and merry xmas from down under.
