  1. Injector Clean? A simple compression test can tell you if you need a reco.if you have good compresion then chances are its a problem elsewhere. Sorry i just noticed you have a TD.. Aftermarket turbo's arent reccomended on these diesels. you will shorten the life of the engine dramatically.

  3. the 2.8l will is your best option... Great kit
  4. C150 rob... Exact same as old one. The only thing is i have a noise coming from somewhere which i didnt have before.. I know theres endless amounts of possibilites as to what it could be so, so ill let it go for now. Yes i agree with you on the pivot ripping out of the casing!! It just shouldnt happen! the gearbox must of had a big knock from mounting a kerb or something previously.
  5. Guys, see Latest post.. Finally swapped gearbox
  6. Hi Folks, Swapped the gearbox with a second hand box on the weekend along with a new clutch, flywheel, appropriate seals etc.. The old Box had a hole in it where the T/O bearing fork pivot is. the Pivot had Ripped out of the Bell housing.. F*&&ed if i know how! All good now.. Although Just a slight scratching noise coming from somewhere.. Who knows wat that is 95% bette through. See pics
  7. I spoke to JAP WORLD SPARES in tempe sydney and they have a reconditioned 5 sp man gearbox out of a 99 Echo.. not a sportivo for 500$ The gearbox in the 1.3 is diff to the 1.5 but with that said, if there is nothing wrong with your existing box (e.g not grinding, making noise, etc), why replace it? IMO just take the car to a gearbox specialist and get it looked at. The gearbox in the 1.3 & 1.5 Manuals are the same Are you sure, they are definitely different in the yaris. Yer identical

  9. It's a dead set lucky dip. one wrecker said $350- 30 days parts and labour warranty ( unknown cond ) One $550- apparently out of a 2005 model 1.3 litre 3 months parts and labour warr. ( unkown kms ) One 895$- Im told travelled 68,000 Kms been tested, comes with 6 months parts and labour warranty
  10. What should i look for in a second hand gearbox? Should i only purchase one that is STILL in the car? Ensure it has a warranty etcc.. Ive had a few quotes on a manual gearbox ( echo ) and the prices have ranged from 895- 350$ Any help would be great
  11. Probably not to find a leak, if its even coming from the gearbox. and besides, this way you KNOW the gearbox is in good condition, you arent taking a gamble on a used box. Well its Definately thin clear transmission oil pooling at the lower mounting bolts.. ive had it looked at several times, and its not coming from the driveshaft seals. it couldnt possibly be leaking from anywhere bar from within the bellhousing of the box.. Once it leaks from within side the bell housing.. it pools in the bottom and leaks down
  12. Wont this be an expensive exercise.. They wil need to strip it down??

  14. They should invent cruise control for manual vehicles :)
