I'm Freightliner technician I Rebuild semi transmissions all the time before I worked for freightliner I was a Chevy technician for 22 years and your right not a lot of people could open up a transmission and do anything to it really
@@pitbullgamer8116 Same here mate,, I done my trade at a Mack / Volvo dealership workshop in Cairns Australia, i could rebuild an 18 speed roadranger before i was qualified trade,,, that was 20 odd years ago now,, but to save downtime on the trucks , these days they just swap them out and send the old box back to Eaton where they rebuild ready for the next truck... rebuilding egines and gearboxes was a big part of 4th year apprenticeship, but the kids these days are just swapping them out and don't know how they work inside,,
This one of the best videos I've seen. You make it look simple. But of course you are a young man and very capable. I am approaching 68 in a month. But I really learned something from you. Props to you !!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Someone will end up with a super well maintained truck when this is all over. I sure hope you continue resto-modding these old Toyota’s. They are slowly gaining in value due to the notoriety surrounding their indestructible engineering.
One man Army! Love that you have the kids puttering around the shop in the background. I think its great for kids to be exposed to this kind of stuff early so they learn a college degree wont always buy you everything. Someone always has to do the dirty work...and sometimes...the dirty work is fun and just as rewarding.
I had a r150f that popped out like yours did. Be glad you fixed the issue. Mine got locked in 3rd and I didn't think I was ever gonna get it out. I ended up buying a used trans to replace mine.
Finally got mine done. First thing i want to say is that there are several variants of this R150 f. It looks like they tried to upgrade or make it a little more simpler. On the shift rods, yours had two of those pins that go in through the 2nd and 3rd rod that connects those detents. My 98 had one pin. Your detents were different sizes ,mine were all the same size. But its a great video to go by and like you say,as long as you pay attention to how everything comes apart, it's pretty easy. I messed up and let someone else pull the gears and shifting rods out, and so when he put it back together,he had two of the rods turned wrong. The 3rd one down ( which was 180 out and wouldn't let it shift) and the small rod turned wrong ( which wouldn't let the reverse return catch) therefore not disengaging reverse all the way and letting it be able to go into 2 gears at once. ( Reverse and first). So pay close attention to the cutouts on the rods cause they are different sizes and are meant to be clocked one way.
Well i didn't mess up by having someone help. I didn't have a press to do the bearings,so he helped me out alot by doing my bearings for me. I just wished that i had pulled the forks out,so i could see how they went back in, that way if there was a problem, you dont have to guess at what someone else may or may not have done. Plus he has rebuilt a few and i trusted him. We all make mistakes and it was a small one, its just that i had to pull the tranny to rearrange the rod.
Dang son! You made this look easy...but there was a lot of behind the scenes organizing and researching I’m sure. You will say it was easy but you have all the proper tools and the know how to make it “easier”. Took me like 4hrs to change my front brake rotors and pads hahaha.
In my early car days I had an Opel Cadet Wagon that 2nd gear would pop out when you were really needing it to pull. I was advised that the spring with the ball bearing was weak and to replace it. That was my only successful transmission repair. I never got my MGA MK2 Transmission back together. All Hail your accomplishment!
Dude that was another awesome project! I wish I could buy that truck! I could sleep like a baby knowing it was in tip top shape. I agree some basic mechanical intuition and a willingness to dive in and be methodical really pays off. Also watching you has been an even bigger boost in general confidence. I enjoy working on my 4runner and learning more and keeping it up. I like understanding what's going on inside. Mine is a 4th gen. A few guys on the forums have done manual transfer swaps and one guy did a swap to a manual transmission. I'm interested in the first, though my electronic actuators are doing fine, but not having the potential of an electrical failure is nice pics of mind. Your big advantage, other than a nice roomy shop setup, is having another car. I'm always a lot worried that I'll mess up my daily driver and have to worry about getting to work and picking up the kids, etc. Anyway cool videos. Looking forward to watching the new build. Take care!
Great video for anyone trying to do a Toyota 5-speed, or just great viewing for those of us that are interested in stuff like this. I don't care how many times you do something, that initial start up or gear shift is still a little thrill. In your first video, when you were letting down the tranny on the lift, you were reaching through the jack to ease the lift down. One wrong move and the jack would have crushed your arm. I'm not one to tell people how to do something, but I would hate to see someone get hurt.
Years ago, I had this exact same truck. All the gauges, shift rods, body style, 3 liter V6 engine, 4WD, and the exact same engine sound and startup sound. *sigh* I miss that truck something terrible, I'm gonna cry after watching this video. :(
Yow! It was am absolute pleasure watching your overall the transmission. Clean and precise as usual. Nuff respect, you give us confidence to tackle anything on our machines!
Nice job on the rebuild. What I find most interesting is that these Tacomas don't use a return spring on the release fork to keep the throw out bearing off the pressure plate. No issues when everything is new, but add some miles and clutch dust. And you won't know if the bearing has been riding the pressure plate until it goes bad. Weird.
outstanding content. NO ONE (that I know of) is offering this level of TACO refurb on the Tube. I'm waiting on a PM for details on Purchasing for this or future projects (as i'm sure other are). Austin, nobody makes it simpler or as easy for those of us with "enough knowledge to get in trouble" to actually have a chance to get through a project without having to buy a new part (or truck)! Thanks for the outstanding help.
I really enjoyed your video. I'd like your attitude when it comes to doing something you never tackled before. That's the same way I have been most of my life. I definitely gave you the thumbs up and subscribe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Austin I instantly subscribed! you sir have many talented gifts! one of them is the art of teaching as you yourself learn along! thank you for taking the time to film and share every detailed of information! I also like the courage you take when the task seems unknown! simply fearless!👍👍
Clever way to lock the shafts together I will definitely do that on my reassembly ('88 rx7, almost identical. Mazda must have outsourced to Aisin for gearboxes too). I ended up using an old clutch plate clamped in a second vice with it shifted into gear when I took it apart
Another great video sir! You might want to get yourself a brass mallet and some brass drifts. Seeing that seal hit with a construction hammer gave me anxiety! Just a thought.
I don’t know about y’all but when I’m reassembling things I’ve taken part & it goes easy I start to worry. Normally things don’t go so easy for me but when they so I wonder every time what I did wrong & when it will reveal itself.lol My last project was replacing the front seals on my 4x4 tractor. It was a nightmare taking it apart but when I reassembled it everything went well & when I got to the very last part about to put locktite on the bolts I realized I forgot a single ring & had to redo it all.
Great job Austin! I have the Marlin short throw shifter kit in my Taco and it works awesome! Should have done that to this beast! Keep up the good work! I am going to do my rack bushings this weekend thanks to the 4 Runner video!
Austin you are a king leader. A lot of the qualified mechanists out there are scared of dissembling a Gear Box ... they just swop with a brand new one 😂😂😂😂
Can’t understand why you haven’t got a 4 post lift to work from... it would be so nice in your shop... also Martin crawlers taco box and short shifter would have been a nice addition especially if you’re going to sell this it would easily add to value of this truck ... well done!!!
Seu conteúdo e ótimo parabéns , não sei se vai traduzir meu idioma, mas continue com esse trabalho, uma câmera com ótima qualidade, ótimos ângulos, é um serviço top, gosto dos conteúdos estrangeiros mesmo eu não sabendo falar inglês, mas só com a imagem parece que ensina mais doque os daqui do Brasil kkkk
You lock the shafts from turning to torque the nut....manual says to put trans in 3rd and 2nd gear....I put the trans cover on backward to hold the input and counter bearings together so gears cant skip. Also have someone hold a 5lbs hammer on the other end of shafts when pounding on 5th gear and bearings...I put the front of the shaft against a wall when alone....
Thanks a ton for these videos, I've got my w59 rebuild kit on the way, can't wait to use every swear in my arsenal and wonder how it all went so easy for you! Did you ever end up finding a rebuild kit for the transfer case?
Did that 5th gear that sits behind that sleeve, have any slack on yours? That gear slides right off , but im wondering if yours had any slack at all? Mine you can actually bearly move. The shaft has evenly spaced splines, but that gear has splines and smooth gaps , and only goes back on that shaft one way. You have to clock it right and it will slide right on. So im wondering if mine is worn on the inside, or if you remember if yours had just a little movement also?
g-day, First gear jumps out at the first sign of any load, this affects no other gears. The gearbox shifts nice and smooth really nice for 400K+ . Is this possibly just the detent? is it possible to replace the detents without full disassembly or even removal from the car ?
very good video enjoyed it .would you know if a Toyota G 57 bell housing from a 22R will work on a Toyota R150F transmission out of a 3.0 engine they are both 1988 trying replace the v6 3.0 with a 22r engine
Hello I would like to know if you can recommend what repair kit I have to buy to repair my transmission R150 thank you and I really enjoy watching your work god bless you
Do you have the time to walk me through getting all my shift rods into neutral? No matter what combination I try except 1 position all the gears bind and I cannot rotate the gears freely.
