I recently installed 3.1 /1 T-case gears in my 1993 FZJ80. I've been putting off the job but the leak from my front output shaft (requiring removal of the transfer case) gave me the extra bit of motivation to get the job done. There are some excellent Cruiser shops not far from me but I am on a budget. I figured I could buy gears and a cheap dangerous Harbor Freight press and a bearing spreader and still do the job for half the price (because my personal labor has no value?)
I will spare you the details since there are lots of install instructions on line by

Fail gear:
I'm not a fan of Fail gear/trail mart chinesium.
I used quality Sumo Japanese gears available (for only a couple hundred more) at

If this is your first time cracking one of these cases and installing gears the press work might be a bit intimidating. None of the instructions tell you what size bearing spreader you need or what size press sleeves to use for example.
I used a 4 5/8th spreader that was just barely large enough. whatever the next size larger is may have worked better:

The press sleeves I used were simply sections of pipe from the hardware store in the appropriate diameters and lengths and some sockets and some aluminum (pads and disks I had laying around to protect shafts and splines).
I chose not to change output bearings (as they had been changed several years previously)
front output bearing is: 90363-40044
rear output bearing is: 90363- 50005
front output seal is: 90311-50014
rear output seal is: 90311-58008
Tcase input seal and transmission output seal are the same part number: 90311-48016 (you need two)
In theory there can not be fluid transfer between the transmission and transfer case but I had a pretty good leak at the interface and the t case gear oil was a lot "redder" looking than it had ever been at previous gear oil changes. One tip about the input seal. It is easier to drive in the seal while the tcase is disassembled (and the input shaft is not poking out) Unfortunately it also easy to damage the seal when reassembling the transfer case. I caught mine on the input shaft and damaged it and got to replace the (third) seal after the tcase was assembled.
Tcase shifter seal is: 90310- 16001
speed sensor O-ring is: 96711-24030
speed sensor internal o ring is: 90310-09001 (This is not an easy piece to replace, you might want to skip it)
drain plug washers: 90430-A0003 (you will want at least two, five if you replace the washers in the switch/sensors).
FIPG: 00295-01281
I managed to break the locking clips on the speed sensor and the cdl sensor. (the plastic connectors are pretty hard and crispy after cooking above the t case/tranny and being near the cats). The old connector bodies shattered upon de-pinning (which actually made disassembly really easy) and the pins locked right into the new connector bodies.
cdl indicator switch connector: 90980- 11250
low range indicator connector: 90980-11250
speed sensor connector: 90980- 11143
My transfer case neutral position indicator has never functioned as long as I have owned the truck, The switch was broken and failed a continuity test. I suspect the same switch used for the cdl and low range would work in this position but you would need to replace the connector since Toyota used a different part and style connector (probably to prevent plugging in the low range indicator switch that is inn close proximity by accident). I chose to replace the switch with an extra fill plug.
