OK took some simple pics of some torn down cruiser in my yard, looks pretty sad, I figure in 3 years I sell it and start a new project or I totally frame off it, galvanize the frame and rebuild everything - not really needed but I am retarded that way.
I tore the tranny down and found that one gear on a shaft was breaking down, the corresponding gear on the output shaft was doing the same, so luckily I had a spare tranny that I tore apart and I can swap out the parts that I need. Also, the R151 on the cruiser has a short output shaft that is connected to the transfer with a sleeve/shaft that go into the transfer case. The old shafts were a 3 piece type ie. output shaft/sleeve/transfer input shaft, but they were weak so toyota made a solid transfer input shaft with the sleeve attached - looks a whole lot stronger that the old set up.
I also bought a marlin reinforcement plate for inside the tranny to keep things nice and tight. Maybe some day I will buy an H150 to install but I have been torturing the r151 for 3 years and it didn't fail.
Injection pump is out and getting ready for a boost comp. install at the injection shop, rebuild the pump while it is out?? only 150 k kms on it so I don't think so. Bought the SST for pump nut removal - makes life easy.
