Wouldn't greatly surprise me.
Just as Nissan had "problems" with the early 3 litre diesels, Tojo have always had gearbox and other drive line issues.
One of my friend's mates recently destroyed the gearbox (almost blew it to bits effectively) on his 5 year old Cruiser. Yes he was 4WD ing and I suspect giving it a bit of stick, but still not happy, he's currently looking for a complete new box as the other is a complete writeoff!
