60 Series - Gearbox & Transfer Rebuild - Roothy

https://roothy.com.au OK, so you've watched the gearbox and transfer come out of Si's HJ61 in part 1, so this is the crucial part. The rebuild! But this clip isn't just for people who intend doing their own rebuild. It's also immensely useful for anyone wanting an intimate understanding of what's actually going on when you shift those sticks - be it the little one or the big one! If you know what's at the end, what's going on, then you'll understand how it should be done. This clip could save you from ever having to do this job! Richard's done this build more than once as you can see. He's also done gearbox work on a lot of other types of vehicles which means there's plenty of cross reference information in here too. Basically, as Rich says, the Toyota LandCruiser gearbox and transfer is reasonably simple and exceptionally strong. What pt2 constantly references is how well this box lasted considering. Simon bought the 60 Series with 300,000km on it and drove it home from Port Lincoln in South Australia with it already making noises. It continued to make noises for the next 350,000Kms until getting so bad it had to be pulled out for a rebuild. Obviously, as we found cheap Taiwanese bearings in there, it'd been rebuild before Si bought it and not very well. Yet he managed to squeeze and additional 300K merely by servicing it regularly and using Penrite oil. If you've ever wondered what the real difference between oils is - and why you pay more for quality Australian Penrite - here it is. Then there's the sheer quality and comprehensive nature of the Terrain Tamer Gearbox and Transfer Case rebuild kit. Their fifty years in parts sourcing and selection means ALL the bearings are the best available, Japanese quality being best right now, and the gaskets, seals and hard parts all fit. I kept Milo going for over 1,000,000kms using these two Australian companies - Terrain Tamer and Penrite oil. I know I harp on about it but good oil and good parts is the key to longevity and reliability in the toughest off-roading terrain in the world. Right, don't rebuild your gearbox or transfer without watching this clip closely for all the tips. And yes, we did have a few beers when she was in and running!
