i've got a mate with a broken hilux. about a '02 model 3Litre diesel. he's had 2 clutches through it and a new gearbox. tonight he couldn't select a gear, wouldn't go into any, could be crunched into reverse. my theory is that there is something else wrong with it causing the strain on the clutch and box.
does anyone have suggestions where to look?
thanks, simple

my late model 2003 hilux broke the gearbox at 80,000 k's and only 18 mths old.......... I insisted on another car to replace it until repairs were carried out as the luxy was under warranty. It took them a month to fix and the problem was found to be the Layshaft bearing had failed...... I spoke with another dealer and they have told me there has been a few of these where the layshaft bearing fails. I was doing 110k/h when it went and was lucky was only 10km from the dealer I bought it from and not in the boondocks somewhere..........
Anyway another common problem is if the car has been raised and not done properly, then u create all sorts of unusual wear from the tailshaft, through the box and right up to the motor..... Had a guy I worked with who bought a 2000 hilux 2 years ago and it had been raised...... It had to have the rear mainseal replaced..... the car had only done 120 000k's....... Obviously the work was not carried out correctly
