I decided to start a new thread on this, to see if anyone can help and hopefully, this will help the next person that runs into the issue. Given how hard the VZ trucks are run, I can't imagine that I am the only person with this issue.
The issue (that I was told by others as I drove it all of 100 feet) was that it would pop out of first gear. From diagnosing online that sounds like a worn first gear and the mating surface, the intermediate shaft.
The issue is that I can find the first gear, but the intermediate shaft is NLA. The great news was that Terrain tamer in Australia has TONS of parts for these transmissions...... it seems though that the specific Toyota part number I have they don't have a replacement part though......
.. after talking with @cjmoon thought about "reverse engineering" under the assumption that this just has a different gear ratio for 1st or 2nd, with the goal to see if we can swap a different intermediate shaft in and any gear needed that is different. Even though I won't use this on this project, I would like my countertop back, and hope to sell this to recoup some $$$.
I previously reached out to Georg @orangefj45 and his crew that is the US supplier of Terrain Tamer products. Looking in the books, it appears that Terrain did not sell the countershaft I need. toyota part 33421-60110.
So, talking with Jess, the thought was to make a parts list of all the major gears and see what is the same as on a 80 series that terrain does sell parts for. Well, I just did that, and all the parts seem to show up on 80 series rigs too, so now I am confused. I have reached out to Terrain Tamer and just can't seem to find who to talk to and typically they point me back to Georg.
Does anyone happen to have a h151 torn down such that we can count teeth and OD sizes of gears to confirm or deny if this is different?
