G'day,

I have had a constant transmission whine in my Corolla for a while now and whilst is used to be tolerable is has now started getting worse. The only time it doesnt make any noise is when the clutch is depressed or the box is in neutral. The local dealership tells me is it definitely the box\diff but cant say if is just bearings or if the input shaft is buggered as well. Regardless, they will charge several thousand just to pull it out and inspect and then more on top if the box\diff needs replacing.

I can get a second hand box\diff assembly for $1000 from the wreckers but I want to know how hard the swap over will be? Im not afraid to have a go myself and have access to an engine crane and a variety of tools.

If it were a Torana I'd have the box and diff done by now, but Im not used to playing around with jap cars.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do like the 'rolla and would love to get a few more years out of it.

Cheers,

Tony

Pulling out the passenger side half shaft is a bit of a pain. There is a locking ring that holds it in place and you need a proper tool to hammer out the shaft with. The drivers side is easy though.
