|
|
Hi i'm new to these trucks and may be worried about nothing, but here goes.
When the car cold the gear box is reluctant to engage 2nd unless double declutched once warm its fine, its a 4litre td 1986 modle .
the truck has only done 163000kms so should be just about run in.
anyone got any ideas? |

Apart from a mechanical problem in the gearbox itself, try bleeding the clutch hydraulics.
It's normally not a difficult job to bleed and a bit of air in the system will make the gear change a problem. Don't let the fluid level in the header tank drop too low.

x2 If they are not stiff when cold they go sloopy when warm. If you have a 5 sp ,try 2nd gear take offs. Quite easy if you have the 4.11 diffs.
An oil change can work wonders. I use Castrol 90 gear oil _________________ 1995 HZJ75 troop carrier

I take it you have a HJ61 with the 12HT engine? I had one but sold it to buy a 75 series. I wish I had of kept the 61 and put the engine into one of my 7* series. _________________ 1995 HZJ75 troop carrier

The info regarding the engine,gearbox,diffs,paint trim etc is on a plate on the firewall.
Unless yours has an aftermarket turbo,it should be a 61 series .
It sounds like a 24 volt Japanese import with the winch and big bumper.
I had an 12v aussie model and still wish I hadnt sold it
I dont know much about winches but they do have a shear pin on a shaft to protect it from being overloaded.
The pin is located where the universal joint joins the shaft to the winch.
You maybe able to buy the replacement pin from the dealer or you can get a machinist to make you one.
The winches are not fast but considered v good quality,considered equal to the Warn 8274.
They dont last long when they are for sale.
The manual has 38 pages on the winch and PTO repair and there are free online manuals around _________________ 1995 HZJ75 troop carrier

I think this is the Japanese part #
90255-04002
Oz seem to have only got the electric winch,so our catalogs dont show the pin(electric winches have clutches)
On the American sites they talk about replacing the pin with a 1/4" dowell _________________ 1995 HZJ75 troop carrier
