OK for me I have always wanted auto and the 5 speed is only a for now thing. I wanted a TH700 and the cost of during this is why I went with the 5 speed for now. I am now however thinking about doing what cebby is doing as it should be fairly cheep and easy. I don`t think it will be as strong as a TH700 but it should still be enough.De-Lux said:1.

Don`t know, don`t care, I have a spare before I have to start worrying about it to much. But I think if you drove wisely and not like an idiot it should last ok.2. how long are you expecting to get out of the G52? if your going to enter your gutsquisher into comps, won't you blow up boxes faster than the Al Quieda?
Nothing on the standard steering will be a problem3. Steering components. i also have a solid axle with pretty much standard steering, what will foul what?
1UZ`s come with 1 of 3 different sumps, front mount, mid mount or rear sump. This is where the pan of the sump is located on the bottom of the block. The motor I have came with a mid sump, because of the location of the diff,solid axle hilux`s need a rear sump.4. whats the deal with the sump? i don't understand...
I have done it and although I paid someone to do it cos i wasn't confident with stripping an auto, it cost me $800 - $500 to pull box apart and change output shaft and $300 to buy a transfer, 4wd sump (extra cap) and output shaft.1.
