Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi,

Anybody recommend a place to fix 4Y gearbox in Cape Town. Not broken but making some noise that my boet reckons points to a potential failure sometime. Bit noisy in 1-3 and 5.
Else can anyone recommend doing it oneself?
Also anybody got the manual on the gearbox for a Hilux 88 4y 4x4 Box - presuming it is a G52? I searched a million links that all want a credit card number..

Thanks
Dave

Hi

Yes your right. It is a G52. If you are really handy and go pullers and a Hydrolic press yes you can do it.

Its complicated and one have to really as you strip take photos the right sequence.

If your not technical rather take it to a Gearbox repair shop

Afternoon Dave,

I have a few documents and repair manuals (specifically on the G52 box) I could send your way, however I must agree with Louis - if you are not technically minded, rather take it in to a decent repair shop.

As a mech myself I have done a box or two, it is not rocket science, but still has to be done right.

None the less, PM me your email address and I will forward to you and you can decide whether or not you want to tackle it yourself.

Cheers

Hi Dave

check out Engines for Africa website in Denver JHB
They advertise brand new box for R6950.00
may be worth while to fit one of these
