A long time Hilux mechanic has diagnosed a gearbox issue with the cluster gear input shaft (or counter input shaft) in our 2005 diesel turbo Hilux that is getting rather noisy and will ultimately need attention. Can anyone please help me with contact details for any reliable gearbox repairers in Alice Springs (other than Kittles).
Thanks Poitr

gooday Poitr; why not just replace the gear box with a good second hand .With a 2005 hilux there should be a low km gear box up there .I can recommend Alice auto wreckers george cres ( good people ) . but if you wont to fix yours ask them for there recommendation's

I used to have mine serviced and looked after by Outback Engineering and found them to be very good. Can't remember their address however.

Thanks Hairy. Turns out he's just around the corner from Motormotion, so all very convenient.
