H55F (FJ70) gearbox needs rebuilding...

[bigbrowndog]

I have it the right way, it will only fit one way, just stressing as I have spent $2500 on this bloody thing getting it working again!!

It drives well, just might need to bleed the clutch and let everything settle in, new clutch and reco box.

Yeah they usually have something indicating orientation on them from new.......

Thanks guys!

Cheers Brad.

Thought I explained it would only go in the correct way on OUTERLIMITS, quote, when it is facing the wrong way the pressure plate bolts will not clamp the pressure plate to the flywheel.
Yes bleed the clutch.
You will need to also adjust the pedal to the correct pedal freeplay position, the adjustment is on the rod going from the clutch cylinder on the firewall to the clevis pin on the pedal arm. I have posted several pages from the workshop manual previously on this adjustment procedure. Regards


Most clutches do not have that I have only seen it on a nissan pulsar clutch.

Wll after about 1000klm it's still going strong. So much better to have all my gears again. Thanks for all the help an input from people on here.

I am using Castrol EPX 80W 90 oil. Is this ok or is there something better I could be using?


Cheers Brad.
