interesting since the 373 uses the same intermediate shaft...
interesting since the 373 uses the same intermediate shaft...
i just pulled a R141 and a 373 apart and they both have the same "stub intermediate" shaft...
Toyota introduced it to lower the fuel consumption and emissions figures
explain this one...
I would say less drive train losses rhrough the drive train and lower vehicle weight, better shift feel (apprently) and less $$$ to spend = more profit.
They really dont seem to last to well in the 78/79 and 105's. My mates dad has a 1HZ 105 series as a tourer and the box grenaded itself.
Lost 3rd and 4th gear, gear stick changes in but when the clutch is let out, nothing happens, there was no bang or noise, the box was fine, syncros worked well, so he was left with 1,2 and 5th
Toyota have new boxes on the shelf for a quick repair!
wow!!
that is pretty sad...
i have had a couple beat to crap ex=mine trucks and they didn't look like that... interesting.
The smaller R151 is lighter and has less friction which equals less fuel and less emissions.
The fuel consumption difference between a HJZ79 and 75 is 1 or 2%
I used to have some govt figures around here but my hard drive died last week and what I saved is in a jumble
They also had the smaller front diff
not sure where you get the idea of less friction, you have shafts rolling on bearings, when assembled you have the same friction coming out the output shaft between all 3 trannies.
