It crunches from 4th back down into 3rd. Tryed Nulon G70 and the most expensive Nulon Gearbox oil I could find ($33 p/l) and still crunches. There were metal filings on the drain plug magnet too.
Thanks, Nathan
if your pulling it out, i would like to see it as you go past my place
do you need the car back on the road quick?
as i know a guy that can pull it apart, and we should be able to get the parts from Toyota in a couple of days

Thanks Razor, but I'm going to need a warranty so I'm going to have to go to a workshop... thanks for the input tho - seems like no one else is listening!
Nathan
Don't be disheartened, I assume lots will be reading, its not a common question though.

How Long have you left it since changing oils? I had a patrol with crunching gears and it took nearly 1000km before the new vmx oil helped.. Dunno why, but took ages.
Thx everyone, reckon I would rather do a rebuild than buy an unknown 2nd hand... been ripped off too many times i guess! I only just bought the car so not sure how old the gearbox oil is but Ive done close to 1000 ks and no change so far. Im going to go with Gawler Auto Transmissions as they have a good rep from what I hear. Thanks for your comments anyway
Nathan
Let me know how you go with this Nathan and what the cause is. One would think a worn sycro or similar as mine also crunches from 4th to 3rd and 2nd to 3rd but not always. Might have to change the oil again.
ask them if we can have a quick look inside to see what it's like
i also want to look at the throw out bearing sleeve to see what is wearing & how to fix it
i build race car transaxles so i have fair idea ( they come with concrete warranty !) just very curious as to how these come apart & what buggers up on them
i am only 15min from them
