Just lost 5th gear.

Hi All

I've just lost 5th gear in my 99GU with a TD42T.
Can anyone tell me the best people to see here in Adelaide to have it repaired?
While it is out I'll also have a new heavy duty clutch fitted.
What sort of a price should I be looking at?

Thanks in advance.

Shane

Hi mate. I would recommend a full reco gearbox. It would be circa 2.5k for a reco box. Clutch would be $700 approx for a Clutch Industries 4 Terrain kit or a Safari Tuff Clutch.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'll be making a few calls tomorrow to try and find someone here in Adelaide.

Cheers Shane

Not sure if HPD in rAdelaide to this kind of work. Not real familiar with workshops that way...

Try BigO 4WD, got some inner guard braces off them few years back, look like they do servicing, if so should know Patrols very well. .

Make sure you get a box with the upgraded spline for fifth gear.

and see what they can do or who they recommend.

Thanks everyone for the reply's.
I've ordered a recondition box from Precision Differential & Gearbox- $2970
They had one on the shelf so it's getting delivered tomorrow to the mechanic.

Maybe a bit late, but have a look at a brand new 'box.

That's the way I'd be going, if I had to do it again....

Thanks. Something I need to look into soon. My gearbox has 450k on it and doesn't really like changing gears much.

Change the oil and make sure its a GL4 not GL4 plus or GL5.

Not changing smoothly is usually a sign of worn synchros or forks. But an oil change could help.

Yep done all that. Putting the Nulon smooth shift additive in helped a fair bit as well but I think the time is near for a replacement.
