I have a 1990 Import jackaroo,I brougth it a 116,000 km,s and did,ent miss a beat for 50,000 km,s (I live in the NT and have been all over it,In some pretty rougth terrain,I just got back from Perth 8,000 RTN .About 100 km,s out of Katherine I blew the gearbox up (5th & reverse gear) I got towed in by one of the bush machinics (the tv show) nice block,driving an old toyata suff,I was also towing a camper trailer about 1000kg weight. I was told by a number of Machices that you should only tow in 4th gear,as 5th is realy only a ouerdrive,a 4wd place up here at Darwin replaces 12 -14 gearboxes a year from the grey nomades,(doesent matter if it,s toyota,nissian etc) I have never read this info in all the years I have been reading 4WD Mags,If I knew this before it would have saved me $2500,in repairs.Have you heard this or read it?
