Had the tranny rebuilt after I bought my 85 FJ60 three years ago. Since then it's been a bit notchy shifting into gears but not bad( same notchyness on my 83 Toyota 4x4 rebuilt by the same guy). Added some extra slippery in the gear oil and that helped a bit. The last couple of days the shifting has gotten progresively worse. Yesterday we went up into the National Forest for a Xmas tree and the shifting was terrible. From neutral it is very hard to get it to go into any gear with out force. Usually I can shift into a different gear and then it go right into say first gear and off I go. Now it's very hard to go into any gear at a stop and impossible to get into reverse without massive grinding. On the road it'll shift but I have to almost jam it into gear. Not nice. Doesn't seem so bad in 4-low. Clutch fluid is fine but I'm wondering if the cylinder isn't holding up the pressure when depressed? Was seeping a bit inside but no massive leak.
Any ideas boys?
Thanks a million,
Russ
