I did get a hold of them, and will take it in once she’s back on the road so they can rotate it themselves and make sure it’s all sealed up properly once done.

Thanks Rick. I did end up contacting the shop too for their advice. Though I’d better because I don’t want to void the warranty for their work.

Thanks for the response. The rebuild was done by a reasonably big/well reviewed shop here, so I assume it's all to spec otherwise. The trans was sent to them seperate from the car, so I guess they didn't have the cable location on the car as a ref. Could have paid a bit more attention when...

Hi all, I'm installing a refreshed transmission & transfer into my PZJ77 and have hit a snag. In the rebuild the output shaft bearing retainer was installed ~180 degrees out, so now the speedo cable won't connect. Am I able to unbolt the retainer, rotate & re-bolt while it is still on the...

Sweet as. Thanks!

Hi all. I'm putting things back together and am unsure about whether I need to use a sealant between the rear end plate and the block and/or bell housing. I don't recall there being anything there when I pulled it apart, but things were a bit rough there when I did remove the trans. This is...

For some reason I hadn't thought of that. I found this post: 1PZ flywheel trouble - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1pz-flywheel-trouble.277552/post-4386138 It looks like they can be made to fit, but require a few work arounds. Will keep it in my back pocket.

Hi all. I'm after options that might be. out there for a replacement clutch for a 1991 PZJ77. This is a 1PZ engine (5 cyl) mated to a R151F trans. Is anyone aware of any clutches from another vehicle that'd be compatible? I'm not having a lot of luck searching for a direct replacement. I think...

Nice. Thanks for the info.

I think I'm in the market for a new gearbox, or a rebuild of the current. Looking around at what's available there don't seem to be any R151F transmissions from my vehicle, or similar vehicles (1991 PZJ77). So my question is: Can I just grab any old R151F, or are there aspects to them that are...

Cool. Thanks for the input. I might start having a look around for a spare box & have a talk with some transmission shops.

You’ve understood the issue correctly. She’s reasonably high mileage at around 380,000kms. Do you have any advice for diagnosing between your two theories?

Title is the basics of it. I’m looking for advice on diagnosing the problem, and getting it fixed. Currently maybe every 10th change down I’ll need to give it a bit of a bump to shift from the middle of the box to the 1st/2nd side of the box. Not a huge issue at the moment, but I am conscious...

Has anyone had a good look at the body similarities between the old 77/78 series Cruisers and the modern 76 series trucks? Obviously from the A pilar back. I’m specifically looking at getting a patch panel for the rear lower corner behind the stop lights & bumper on my PZJ77 and I’m wondering...

Hi all. Is anyone able to point me to somewhere I can find stock dimensions for the guard to hub centre on an early 90s PZJ77 or similar? Things are feeling (and looking) a little saggy so I'm going to have a look at having my leafs reset.
