If you need a hand with this, PM me.

We did move the static HTML how-to's over, but if they were in the Database they'd have been lost ..

I've just approved all the Pics you've uploaded for the articles, plus Lauren's for the 5th gear pop out problem - some top beardage there Lauren

Ben, i tried to upload those pics but was met with a load of red Xs so ended up just linking them off my site, which seems to work okay.

Was amazed tbh Ben, just how easy it was to swop that hub and selector fork.

OK, at the moment i'm running without soundproofing while I get around to fitting my 3rd brake light and deciding if i'm going to run any extra cables with the loom before i put the carpet back on. At 70-75mph I get this annoying buzzing sound behind my head that goes away when I push the gearstick forward in 5th. The noise goes away again if I speed up to 80 (testing on private land occifer).

Could this be a prelude to 5th gear popout or is it just the gear cables resonating at that frequncy or something?

Its likely the selector fork pushing on the hub or hub pushing against dog teeth.

A precursor to 5th gear popout is that when you lift off the gearstick will 'nod' forwards. 10mm is okay but tells you that 5th gear is on the way. 20mm or so means its going to be sooner rather than later.

Very nice Lauren, pictures make it look 100 X easier than someone trying to explain it.

Now, my Blue T-Bar is popping out of 4th! Is this a similar problem with an easy fix or am I living in hope!?

Oh dear Ryan,

I'm afraid that's a completely different kettle of fish!

Sorting out 4th would involve a hell of a lot of work. Would involve stripping just about everything out to get to it i'm afraid.

5th is easy because its actually outside the main gear casing and is on the end of the input/output shaft.

So, living in hope then!

Guess I will have to drop the gear box and replace it with one of the many spares i have, just hope I pick a gud'n.

Can those parts you bought for 5th be purchased cheaper anywhere else as I am thinking of buying a few sets and putting them in a couple of these spares ready for anyone who want a complete unit?

I doubt you'd be able to get the fork and hub anywhere but toyota tbh. they are not that expensive really. £20 for a fork and £50 for a hub.
