R151F: Has it improved?

[bikemaniac]

Hi,

Does anybody know, if the R151F transmission has been improved/reinforced by Toyota recently? My R151F is from 2010 and I want to know if I should expect the problems as described in numerous forums.

Thanks

Lucas

They were improved on the australian 78/79/105 series around 2002 by strengthening the main shaft
Im not sure about other markets.
They are just a bit small for the 6 cyl,but responsible owners can make them last.

Most of the ones that cause problems in australia come from ex hire or ex mining vehicles which have had multiple drivers.
