I purchased a rot box, BJ60 1983 ,3B,h55f , blue, but not quite a fred flintstone machine.
I got it fired up , and took it for a death drive, crappy brakes , 4 flat spotted tyres , smelly mold all over , but the trans shifted all 5 and reverse , , Low worked also , plus 4L , I was amazed that it moved so well, stopping sucked , seized everything ..
So after removing the engine and the trans, pressure washed off the years of goop, I drained the trans & T-case to find clean hypoid gear oil , slight fuzzy magnetic pick ups , and higher oil level in the main case than the t-case , but the amount for both would put the levels correct for both.
So reading I see that a seal failure, pumps oil out of the T-case into the main transmission , but a transfer tube system is fitted to remedy that .
I was also told that drilling a T-case gear selection shaft to prevent that shaft from dropping and loosing the ability to pick up again , was most beneficial..
So since this is a transmission sitting on the floor, clean as the pressure washer can do. Besides new yota output seals , and what I explained above , should i run with the unit , Or any other known facts whilst its clean and on the deck..
