Yeah I noticed that man, where would I source a thicker or uprated release bearing?

Seems to be a lot of people having the same issue. It's so annoying can't get to bottom of it at all. If it's not ok today will I contact I'd workz about clutch?

Yeah I had it all off today mate everything seems to be intact. Apart from I noticed the fork that pushes the release bearing didn't seem to be clipped in right. I've put it all back together now and I'll take it out for a spin in morning and see if it's helped at all. Although I doubt it.

Update on this. Got gearbox off today, clutch was in the right way. Anyone got any other ideas of what to check while I have it all stripped down? I'm going to get a genuine Toyota release bearing as I think mine was whining. Any help would be great

Welcome to the forum man. Cars looking good. Whats your plans for it?

Yeah it jolts when put in reverse sometimes but if you put it in slowly it goes in fine. But if you try and put into third just sitting it won't go. But if you put into forth then third it's fine....

Definitely mate? Not a gearbox problem at all?

Nah pumping the pedal didn't make a difference mate. Checked out all the linkages and they are all OK.

Thanks for all the info guys great help

That would be great mate, it'll be a while until I get box done anyway

What's the TRD like for knocking and that when full lock or parking man? Heard the quaife is pretty good for not making any noise

Looks like I'm going to need to get gearbox rebuilt so was thinking of getting an lsd fitted at same time. What are everyone's experiences and opinions on different lsds? Any help will be great thanks

Right Yeah I know what your on about now, I'm pretty sure that was fitted correct way. Would the car even be drivable with it the wrong way?

Just seen this, would've been all over it haha!

When you say friction plate what part do you mean? Sorry not too great with some of the terms

When clutch was done a different gearbox was fitted due to crunching. But it had always been stiff into gears mainly 3rd

I'll try this tomorrow guys, the clutch was just replaced couple of weeks ago

Bled the clutch tonight and hasn't sorted the problem. I've noticed when I put it into reverse the car shudders and tries to go backwards slightly. Any further ideas on this?

Found this thread about a sugar cube on the linkage that wears out http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?79298-sloppy-gearstick..-easy-fix I don't know if anyone has heard about this but i went to investigate this on my car but I don't actually have a cube these pictures are of my linkage and the small black plastic bit that's where sugar cube should be. Any ideas if this is the correct piece or if the linkage looks correct?

I'll give that a go man, trying to rule out smaller cheaper things before I rebuild a box

Anyone have any ideas?

My gearbox had a bad crunch into third when I got it so I bought another box off here and fitted it. No more crunch but not it can be hard to get into gear sometimes have to make a couple of attempts? I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to what it could be or anything to help smooth it up a bit? Is it worth trying a gearbox additive or molyslip etc? Or is it a case I'll need to get box rebuilt? Thanks in advance

Yeah man, then check if it spins freely but also check wheel for play once fitted again. Then adjust to suit

Yeah I had some issues with rear passengers wheel bearing, had to get adjustment just right so the wheel spun freely but didn't have play in the bearing. Worth a look mate.
