The Hoonicorn has a leaky front gearbox seal & it can only be replaced by stripping the whole box from the back.  If it didn't oil the clutch I'd ignore it!

If anyone has the Toyota manual e-book that is floating around some very dodgy internet sites I'd love a copy.

The last time this happened I took that box to a gearbox shop to replace the $10 seal and they gave me back a box full of bits saying it was irrepairable as they couldn't buy bearings... all I wanted was a seal put in! 

Thanks

I’ve got a hard copy T18 manual which has the K and T boxes in it. Happy to post it to you on long term loan, or if you give me a few days, copy the relevant pages 

KE 50 section is 50 pages so worthwhile. It’s for KE7x, TE7x from Aug 79

Got two Corolla Gregory's Repair Manuals here for 1200cc No: 122A,  & 1300cc No: 184.

The earlier one gives details of how to dissemble the clusters & main shafts etc, whereas, the later one has a verbose Note: saying that unless you have the expertise & special tools, it should not be attempted.

Happy to send you the earlier 122A manual.

Anyway, where is your adventurous spirit !   It's fun pulling it all to pieces, & then working how to get it all back in.  You really just need to make up a dummy shaft to keep all those little needle rollers in place, when it is reassembled.

Can post manual today, if you PM me your address.

I was Googling to see if I could find something for you, & the first thing that came up was this !

haha!  yes banjo, I saw that too!  it still didn't lead me where I wanted to go!  I still have the K40 in bits and a fully disassembled K50 downstairs, but I didn't strip the K50!

I popped into the local gearbox shop and they will replace the seal for $105/hour plus parts...  That's the same as the first shop that stripped my first k50 and wanted to re-new everything!  Anyway, Orange Auto reckon they can get bearings, so I will drop some bits down to him and if he can source parts I might get the dis-assembled one rebuilt.  It needs metal-spray on the bearing surface to build it up, so it all might get too expensive.

The one in the car.. well, I bought a can of Rislone transmission stop leak, so I'll toss that in and see if it helps.

Parrot, if you could copy that part of the manual I would be grateful. There is no hurry right now, but when the Rislone gives up I'll need to do it. 

I also have the Gregorys manual that says "its all too hard, don't touch it!"

 

Thanks guys!

I'll sneak into the photocopy room now and see what I can do!

 

Let me know an address or email (or both!)

Hey Altezzaclub if it is of any use to you I have a Toyota manual for a 4 speed gearbox, manual no. 96015-1, that i can take photos of. I also have a Clymer Publications manual which has both T and K series boxes in it, it seems pretty thorough, and a haynes manual, 92725, which has both k40 and k50 boxes in it.

If you want anything happy to copy and send though. 

Thanks for the offer Mullet, but a copy of the K gearbox part of the T18 book has just arrived from parrot!

Its great to see these manuals still exist and are in circulation!

I'll let you guys know if the gearbox shop comes up with some caged roller bearings.
