Something to be aware of.

Lost 3rd-4th gear in Wales.

Drove home on 1st/2nd and 5th.

Removed gear lever and It's housing.

Bottom g/lever mounting bush had disintegrated to a thousand or so pieces and a few of them had jammed the selector rod.

Ordered new part at 11am and picked it up at 2pm.

Cost £55 but I did get a cup of coffee and a biscuit.

33505-35020 is the part number, generic to almost all 80s-90s toyota manual transmissions.

Or Marlin Crawler do an uprated one thats quite a bit tougher for about the same cost

Funny same thing happened to me, I got my info of the internet, and the guy told you in the write up they will try and tell you to buy the hole lot, so I printed it out, and took it, in with me, and the dick head at toyota still said no.

So went to another Toyota dealer, and the young fella said ha I no what you need, I did mine last weekend, so it pays to shop around. Man she shifts like a new gear box now, I guess you just don't feel it wear out till its to late

Never seen them do that before Can the little bits fall into the gears? Did you replace the nylon bush at the end of the gearstick?

[Landcruiser Power]

Yeah I just changed the oil and it was fine, you don't need to replace the nylon bush

 

[John_McCartney]

I've also had it happen on an old SJ. Confirm little plastic bush is all you need.

I have just replaced all the transmission oils and there was no sign of any bits of plastic in the old g/box oil. The position of the g/lever seems to stop the bits from falling into the box.

What atf do you use?

Pete

 

[Roger Fairclough]

ATF is for automatic gearboxes. The box on the KZJ70 is a manual.

[Roger Fairclough]

I queried the sale of the housing against the bearing only. I mentioned the part number.

The response was that although the number was correct, the chassis number I gave them---this was correct---did not correlate with the number. It only came up with the complete housing.

Any comments?

I take it it's the white one for my KZJ70 ? Maybe easier than going to Toyota and then back again if they don't have it in stock!

 

[LeCruiser]

All done! Thanks for the info on here! Cost me a tenner and done in half an hour, now I have all gears back nice and smooth

Toyota told me a short in the indicator stalk which was putting my headlights out could only be repaired by replacing the whole squib . I took it apart and just swapped the indicator stalk and problem solved .
