  1. cheers, what pics are ya after just the underside? ill have to clear the crap away to get some so i should be able to have em up by wednesday haha
  2. Got a phone call back from the mechanic $1600 to get my tranny rebuilt! i thought that was a little excessive so I called a few mates and ended up finding a second hand one which is apparently in good cond, yet to check it out in person, now here comes the fun part... I don't really know a thing about pulling a tranny, kinda learning as i go along, has anyone had any major issues pulling their tranny? I'm pretty keen to get a hands on look at how it all works but i don't want to create a bigger problem! I haven't yet was only really checking through the oil for metal shavings/ pieces, but now I'm changing it all out i guess that would be a good idea haha
  3. haha yeah all the good stuff! Have you got a members rides thread? or any photos?
  4. yeah as you probably know parts round here are hard to find unless you have a donor truck, luckily we can pinch a few of the after market stuff of the D21's
  5. ahhk, can't say i know anyone locally, I'm in carlisle. Well i know 96 and up changed to the R50, so maybe thats what he means? but as far as i know the d21 navaras should be the same if not extremely close.
  6. Hey mate and Since your a perth local I suggest you have a chat to the guys at Parkside tow bars, there in welshpool and do real good work in my experience with my dads cars at a reasonable price IMO. Where a bouts in perth are you located?
  7. X2! Good Luck! couldn't imaging having to go through anything like that!
  8. yup decided to pull the whole shifter and plate to get a better look at things. I think I'm going to have to pull the tranny and take it to a shop to get properly looked at. how do you drain the tranny dry? it seems to have a small amount sitting in the bottom. I have tried lifting the back end ,till i started getting a little uncomfortable about ow high it was, which helped but still not enough? I don't wanna pull it and make a bigger mess than needed
  9. ok, so i had a bit of a play around today, drained the gearbox oil and found this! The car won't actually engage reverse at all, like something is blocking it? this bit? thats what i originally suspected but all seemed ok to me? just to be sure we tried to engage reverse with a bar and the shifter out and still no luck would that be an issue that would be resolved via a rebuild or just a service? As above the plastic cap seems to be in good shape? although i have never really seen any to compare against. i found the model number on a Navara forum are the gearboxes marked in anyway to differentiate between them?
  10. Alrighty, so yesterday myself and my old man had a crack at fixing the problem. Firstly we tried just rocking the car back and fourth in neutral and in second... no luck, we then pushed her back about 2 m tried again.. no luck. Got the old man's territory and towed her out of the garage and went for a drive down the road and back... no luck. Still just completely locked out! There this really weird noise coming from the gearbox when it was in neutral and its making me think i don't really have a choice but to get a replacement or get mine rebuilt? I was hoping since it just stopped working as it was parked up for a couple of weeks that something just wasn't alined, thinking I might be wrong ill chuck up a video of the noise. EDIT: http://imageshack.us...tuchjuierv.mp4/ EDIT: would I be correct in saying that I have the FS5X71C gearbox?
  11. thanks for the replies, ill have a crack tomorrow giving her a push back. if i did open her up i would have no idea what to look for :S never really had the chance to learn about gear box's I tried to shuffle through all the gears then into reverse, then just 5 into reverse 4 ect. even tried in 2low and 4low no luck called my mate and he seems to think it might be the synchronising gears? i take it they would be pretty difficult to fix?
  12. I didn't even get her out of the carport to install the lift I'm stuck hard up against a wall
  13. Having only been able to find info about the auto trans failing in reverse I'm stuck trying to find any answers. Bit of background, its a 1990 5 speed diesel td27 engine, done around 240k and never had any issues with any of the gears, new clutch slave cylinder about 210k. I parked her in the carport for about 2 weeks till my snorkel and body lift arrived, went to back her out to start work and no reverse. Can't even engage reverse at all, its like it has been locked out? I can shift into all 5 of the other gears without any problems just not reverse? any help is greatly appreciated! cheers nick
  14. Good to see some more Aussies popping up!
