landcruiser 80 series gearbox overhaul

you "are" doing this yourself right ???

Hope so otherwise budget somewhere between 2500 to 3500 and thats not expensive for gearbox transfer and clutch. Who knows I may be wrong but thats what I was told before.

If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Parts are expensive and brand new synchro cones will still disappoint you. That's why they put extra cones in the 100 series.

Just change the gearbox oil more often - it seems to last 15 - 20 k with before gear changes into 3rd get a bit touchier i(f you use the 75 - 90 oil as specified). Otherwise, double declutch!! Its fun -sorta.

I Have a 5 speed box to suite a 1hz motor, excelent condition.
All i did with it was replace the seal between box and transfer and replaced the thrst washer with genuine extra thick washer.
If you need one?

Thanks everyone
I have to pull the box out to replace the clutch so I"ve decided to rerace the gearbox and transfer case and replace the syncos wihile I've got it out.Its got 350,000Ks on it and I'm only going to do this once, so I'll do the lot and be done with it.
