NOV 2011

I had a gearbox problem while travel from penang to KL on november 2011, Whenever I shift into 3rd gear there's a noise and vibration, and it scares the shit out of me. since I was traveling alone that night and if anything happen there's no one to help.

Luckily I'm on my semester break. So I'll have lots of time looking to repair it.

So I went to Mat Jey's and as usual jack the car up and place it on a stand.
I took some photos of the under carrage rusts are everywhere !






I went to my friend's apartment and he showed me he had twin intake Weber DCNF for toyota K-Series engine, and its not for sale. dammit.




Draining Gearbox oil before taking out the gearbox




After removing the screws and mounting the gearbox is out






Gearbox operation starts





There's ball bearings inside it, carefull you'd dont want to lose it.






Disassembling SynchoGear and cleaning parts








Change to new bearings




Reassemble Synchro gear and parts








And finally please be careful if you are handling Engine parts or gearbox parts, because the edges are sharp as knife. and i did learned my lesson because my gearbox cut my thumb. it was deep.





after the bearing change my gearbox works perfectly. the problem rises is mainly caused by low level of gearbox lubricant. im gonna check for my gearbox lube often after this.
