WallaceGlanza Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Toyota changed the design on later models.If your gearbox is crunching it will be the synchros that're worn - very common. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m11xky Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks, didn't realise that!So is that definitely new or refurbished box?Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 what year is it? ive only ever seen the metal cube (can be turned over) and the plastic "cap" (cant be turned over).......never seen just a metal stump....interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't look at it properly earlier and it doesn't look like it's making contact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m11xky Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I took the cube off the other box i have and tried to put it on. But the stump is too big! must just be the way it is?!Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Must be the way it is then unless someone else can shine some light on it, the "stump" looks fatter so we can assume its the way it is both my na's 96 + 97 had the plastic one Change the gearbox oil to see if it helps, another quick little thing you can before fitting another box....but as above its probably the syncros Quote Link to post Share on other sites
