Nissan drivers seem to be getting a little touchy lately, I remember the days when the toyota owners got bagged out because their gear boxs where not at tough as a Nissan, nor where the front diffs. As a crusier owner and a hilux owner i'm the first to admit that the patrols have the best running gear in the buisness. But i also know that Patrols have poor engine mounts, poor dust proofing, an old engine, poor ergonomics compared to a 100 series or a prado. Furthermore Nissan Australia in their wisdom allowed the smaller gearbox to be placed in the big 4.2 for a while resulting in 5th gear snapping like a twig, (according to Ron moon who drives a nissan, 4x4 Australia) So the point being that all vehicles have their archillies heal, or a problem, most problems are fixed though. Sir diamond to make a generalisation about toyota drivers is a poor effort, Toyotas do have problems, conact your local dealer get a professional opinion on the problem and find who can fix it. By the way Toyota never said they had the best 4wd, they said "We have the BEST SELLING 4wd" according to a Toyota OWNER.

gearbox is the same just the 5th gear splines were the problem.

I thought the 3.0l patrols had a smaller gearbox than their big brother. Although i'm most likely wrong because i'm a toyota driver????

4.2 and 3.0 all the same running gear. 2.8 had a bleep y g'box.
