O.K. middlecalf, I'm starting to see your point. Slowly. LOL! My last entry was a bad narrative. I just went out to verify that CONDITION= clutch disengaged, meaning pedal is static with no foot pressure. The gear box spins freely BUT putting it in to any gear stops all rotation. You are correct...

Thanks locklaw. With my borescope, i have not seen the first bit of rust. Including what little I can see through the oil pan drain. Puzzling! But good advice that I'll heed. Currently, my spidey sense is leaning towards a spun bearing. Bottom up will be my direction. THANKS!

Good Sunday morning all! Well, well, well. The parts Gods shined light on me earlier than expected. OEM master and slave clutch parts arrived way ahaed of schedule. I made quick work of installing and getting operable. Side Note... I am learning that FJ maintenance is indeed compared to working...

Good morning All, I received my borescope yesterday and inspected the cylinder bores anrd piston tops. Nothing appears out of place, allthough I saw something on #4 that momentarily shook me up. Turns out it was an open valve. It took a moment to orient what it was. Visually, everything looks in...

Good morning to all. I am grateful for any and all tips, tricks and experience shared on this post. Thank you! My borescope should arrive today and I will scope cylinders and bottom end through oil pan drain plug. Ive also ordered a new clutch master cylinder that should arrive some time next...

Thank you all for the time. It has helped greatly. Borescope purchase on my horizon. Someday, a noob like myself will need the attention y'all have given me. I'll gladly pay it forward! On a positive note. 2000 4runner 4x4 just hit 352,000 on the clock. My daily driver. No leaks and in general...

My next route. Thank you sir!

Im wondering if I can peen it somwhere to kind of break whatever is siezed? Grasping, I know...

Hello All. I removed the top plate of the tranny to take a looky loo. Looked and smelled normal. I drained the gear oil and to my surprise, about a gallon of Georgia rain water came out. followed by gear oil. Thank you *LIVING IN THE PAST for steering me in that direction. I took the driver's...

Thanks REZARF. Tell them at The Rockin R Bar I said Hello. I used to live over on W. Villard!
