Thanks Bob, I'm going to service the TB and leave it in place. My focus is now switching to finding a front diff. I believe the early autos and all the manuals came out with a 4:1, so l think the search will be relatively easy.

No leaks from the TB and bearings feel ok, propshaft UJs seem fine also, and the bolts were tight when I removed the shaft. I took it for a decent run over the weekend and it was like a new truck. It seems that removing the front shaft has done away with the thumping noise. I bumped into a...

Thanks Bob, I'm actually beginning to think that the problem may not be entirely in the TB, or may not be there at all. 'Adventure Wagon' raised a good point, he said that the vibration I get might be down to higher output shaft speed due to the front drive-shaft being removed, which makes me...

Thanks mate, I actually don't go any extreme off-roading, the nearest I get to it is crossing a patch of grass and the odd gravel road. You make an interesting point about the vibration, that it could be attributed to a higher output shaft speed.

Thanks Bob, I think a full strip-down is a bit beyond my skill-set, looks like I'm gonna have to find a manual TB. I took the front drive shaft off yesterday thinking it would be better if I ran it in 2WD to bypass the transfer setup, when I went to take if for a test run it wouldn't move. I...

That's a good point, I believe the earliest 120s in NZ did have the 1KZ. Thanks for that.

Thanks Bob, really appreciate you giving me this info. If I found an auto TB would I need to take it apart to fit the selector shafts, or would they slot in? Also, is there a disadvantage to not having a synchromesh on low ratio?

Thanks m8, that rules out the Hilux option.

I'm pulling my hair out! My Prado has a worn out transfer box and I can't find a replacement. Can someone help with some information? It's a 2002 J95 1KZTE Manual trans, no ABS, no traction control, it has a rod-shift centre diff-lock system (no actuator motor), does anyone know if a 1kz hilux...
