"... but we have our own special tool, and he made something that will do the same job..." Oh man, I lol'd.
yeah, that one made me actually snort beer out my nose.
These boys watch too many Zucker brothers movies, I think..... 😁
Nick is a DIY legend!
Every workshop needs either a full set of special tools, or just One Special Tool with a lathe and welder.
its that sort of quote that makes this one of the funniest channels on YT
Hope everybody at home had their E154F's on the bench playing along.
I've actually got a couple of these to do in the not too distant future. One is already on my bench and the other is still attached to an engine that's about 2 hours away from coming out of the car.
Im headed to the scrap yard to get mine now. Wish he was doing up a model I have any kind of use for.
best i can do is a meccano kit.
😂
Only the ones on the register somewhere
There was a time when I used to think boy those 80s and 90s Japanese cars were just too expensive for their own good. Watching this transmission come apart and back together makes me think how in the world did they sell these cars at such a bargain.
That was precisely our thought as we were doing it.
You clearly need to watch some videos like this of old fashioned tape players and vhs players working!

I knew the Celica GT-Four was a beast, but watching this series I have been seriously impressed with how incredibly stout so many components are. What an engineering feat! Imagine if Toyota were to do it again today.
@@802Garage itd be half the performance for double the cost
Your answer is, Production Volumes. The more made, the lower the cost of each unit in the production run. The prototypes are always the most expensive ones to assemble.
I don't know of any other youtuber who would even think about attempting a transmission teardown/rebuild to this degree or professionalism, or any mechanic who would have the same level of production quality as this. This is a very unique video and the reason why I love this channel.
Eric the car guy did a trans rebuild with some help, which was also nice and detailed. It's where I learned how they actually work irl.
Have a look on instagram @megapixel000 i rebuilt my gearbox, wasn't as bad as I thought.
My first trans disassembly was a BMW motorcycle. I remeber, I killed one of the seals because I didn't reinsert a shaft with a special tool that "saves" the seal lip.
I am watching this as a motivational to rebuild my Getrag out of my E46. If you never hear again from me, the Getrag probably won.
Its not that hard, i rebuilt the trans on my 90 AWD Talon while it was still on the car, in about 8 hours back in 2002.
Maybe you'd like Jethro Bonner with his Alfa's! Some real quality. Real envious of what he does
I love dissasembling engines and gearboxes, it's so interesting.
God knows how to put them back together again though
When i was a kid, i'd be shipped in the summer to my grandparents with my brother and sister so that my parents could get some alone time. I think i spent 6 summers cooped up in the nearby plane junkyard taking exploded engines and components apart. Old coot that managed the spot eventually gave up on chasing me out and started teaching me stuff. Best years of my life, hands down.
Maybe they were really recording the video for themselves? "Where'd that part go?" "I haven't the foggiest. Play back the video!"
That moment when you think you finally get how a transmission works, but couldn't explain it to anyone else if you tried. A gearbox truly is the collaboration of all engineering throughout the ages.
Hi, Joe! Lovely engineering. And seeing the care that goes into creating things like this makes you wonder why anybody would use anything but the best oils and fluids in them. They lead a hard life. Skimping on maintenance, crunching gear changes... It's amazing that they survive the harsh treatment they sometimes get.
Some people don't deserve to have nice things! ;-)
I was born in Shropshire, moved to Australia in 1974. Never been back to England. This show makes me want to do a pilgrimage back and press my nose on the window of the lads workshop. ✌️😀🖖
OMG you made me laugh but I would totally do the same I wonder if they charge admission lol
Judging by your YT moniker, you spend too much time watching movies.
@@darrylvanrooy I'm baffled by your comment ?
If engineering was a religion, their workshop is definitely a holy place worth a pilgrimage.
@@safcforme3475 thanks for that, I must get around to watching that movie.
I can't believe I am one of those blokes who can sit and enjoy this sort of thing. A true tribute to the content creators. Thank you Bad Obsession Motorsport. Saves me getting my own hands dirty!!
I could blame the pandemic for me having the free time to watch this, but if I'm being honest I would have watched it either way 😝
We really don't. It's completely coincidental.
@Chris they still have to do upholstery and paint which are generally some of the most dreaded parts, so you tell me

At first I went "56 minutes? My god, I'll never finish that." Two mugs of tea later: "Is it over already?. Mad respect for Nick's craftmanship.
A small part of me wishes that in the final episode of Project Binky you discover that a teaspoon is missing and you have to tear the whole car down in case it is somewhere in there just so we can all enjoy more episodes!
Similar to finding a rattle when it was a pair of the missus earrings in the ashtray

Great video! I wish you showed also how you stored and labeled all the pieces to ensure that you will be able to put everything back together in the correct order.
There is an engineer in Japan sitting with his head in his hands mumbling, "Why do I bother?"
His lifetimes work was making special tools for Toyota.
I used to be a Toyota mechanic. You'd be amazed by how often even the workshop manuals instruct you to use basic tools. They really made an effort to make these cars repairable, even in the dessert with not much but your socket set and screwdrivers.. I was also at Ford and their special tools shelf was A LOT bigger and super specialized. Like we also had tools for vw's just because the Ford galaxy has the vr6, but around here they are rare.
These basic transmissions had a issue with glazed syncros and I must had stripped dozens of them. I never used a single SST either.( or replaced a stake nut😎). Really sweet consistent engineering all round and I never had one give me a hard time.
Imagine that there's more than that. There's probably an entire office that has the sole purpose of designing NOT only the specialty tools that keep the clientele in check, but also specific components that get modified AFTER they've been designed by the main office or during the production, so they only work with specific tools.
That's a valid assumption for a lot of car manufacturers, even if it's not within the parameters i've mentioned.
I, personally find it absolutely hilarious, that in the pursuit of making MORE money, they spend more to complicate things, which in term can bite them in the arse as (at least then) the measure of a good vehicle (machine, what have you) was, how easy you could fix it. Which boiled down to Joe Bloe being able to figure out how to mangle your third gear using nothing but a rubber band, his pants, and a large screwdriver that's actually his construction hammer.
These days, they've done away with that, and replaced that department with another that's solely purposed in finding means to shave off structure but not at the expense of cost. IE planned obsolesce.
If you take apart succesive gearboxes (for example) you'll start to see the patterns. A gear that was once machined from a billet piece, now's sintered, that case that was machined in spots A D and E now has cast marks, at the expense of structural integrity.
It's a disgusting practice that stems solely from CEOs and failed lawyers or hedge funders, or whatever, that cook up ways to sell you at the same price, the cheaper product.
I mean, look at washing machines. You still pay XXXX sum of money for a YYYY brand, BUT, take the hood off, and you'll be shocked to find that where once great cast iron castings, stainless steel, metal, structure was, there's only glass reinforced plastic. Even the shocks are now, just an interlocking piece of plastic with a spring inside. If they could make that spring from plastic, they would. But you still pay XXXX despite the fact that the inner drum is still metal (because that'd look bad if you saw plastic) and the fact that if that inner drum breaks, it can impale the machine from inside out, some cases where the joint even delaminated and the drum came out the top like a beam in a cheap action flick where the train crashes and beams poke through a compartment for "added drama".
Garbage people trying to make more money making garbage.

@@RWBHere damnit , you got me there.. English isn't my first language, so that's the cover I'm hiding under😅
Props to whoever designs gearboxes. I can't imagine how difficult it is to design something so complex that needs to fit in a very tight space and its components also need to be strong enough to handle the forces. O.O
I know, right? The mind boggles with the thought that some engineering team could actually design something so complex and impressive.
As impressive as it is, like most everything its a product of decades even centuries of development, by hundreds of scientist, engineers, and machinists.
I have to say the gearbox is the part of the engines I have always left alone. I leave those to clever people.
@@nothingsurprisesmeanymore Same for me. I have build engines from the bare block, but most I have done to a transmission is changing the fith gear ratio, which was in a separate part of the case just like the Celica transmission in the video. I also leave rebuilding transmissions to the magicians that just know :D
iTeerRex spot on - I was thinking the same thing, each new development (feature) builds on previous successful designs that survive rally car abuse. Beautiful evolution but in a mechanical artifact. I can see now why automatic transmissions are (probably) easier to mass produce. 👍🦖🇨🇦
This was definitely worth it to watch that "Special Tool" get that bearing out.
Yes! Easiest puller is to drill some holes in a piece of bar stock and throw in a couple bolts lol, they got fancy and added a bolt and nut in the middle!. Sometimes you've gotta make a tool to make a tool to fix somethin'.
bit of shop genius there
I also have a homemade special tool
Oh, Nik. You very clever, special special tool you.
@@dairyfarmerdan How's it work on cows ??????
Here’s me saying out loud: “Ehhhh... click” for every single bolt tightened with or without the torque wrench. Damn you AvE!!! Absolutely fantastic and clearly beyond my skill set. I was mesmerized. Now, it’s time to stop messing about and get to work on my own vehicle.
43:50 I love seeing gears! They are so beautiful. What wonderful engineering. It is a good thing that Nik has to struggle to get the gears to mesh. You do not want too much play.
It's fascinating watching a competent person do a complicated task competently. Well done!
Just love watching Nick come up with different ways to do things especially his bracket work which can't be out done by anyone , sorry being disabled , retired but wish I could send at least a little something your way to help with the shows because they sure bring a smile to my face every time I watch . Thanx very much
This may seem like a strange comment, but I just want to say how cathartic it is to watch these videos. Now, more than ever before, seeing an endeavor taken with such attention to detail and adaptability in the face of challenge is extremely reassuring. So much of the world has fallen into (and in some cases reveling in) disorder. It's honestly so relaxing to watch these videos. Sometimes I go back and rewatch old videos when I need a good laugh and some high quality bracketry building. So thank you for making these.
Although I respect these blokes, my real admiration is for the people who designed this stuff in the first place. Mechanical engineers are sorely under rated.
I've just been told my ST205 gearbox needs a rebuild. If they go to this much detail I'll be more than happy. Incredible work.
31:15 “Feels about right.”, the pinnacle of British engineering.
This is ASMR for me - been trying to watch and stay awake but failing badly. Don’t take it the wrong way, it’s not boring, it’s calming. I need more of this please🙏🏽
after this, my "Make the Noise" t-shirt will need a torque wrench on it as well....
Nice to see someone taking time to inspect the parts and reuse them if nothing is wrong. Too many people just exchange components without thinking IMHO.
Nearly an hour on a gearbox.....
This deserves tea, and biscuits
Hoir edited, imagine how much time it took them to put it apart, restore it, order special bolts, lubes and the rest. Then put it all back together correctly, film it and edit it. Probably more then 2 weeksbof constant hard work.
@Possle Chocolate hobknobs I presume. :-D
I'm a 'Merkin. I don't even know what a hobknob is but they look tasty!
@@if66was99 Have you read the dictionary definition of 'merkin'? Better be careful and spell it differently! I sprayed tea across the tale when reading your comment...
@@RWBHere I would be proud to be "false hair for the female pudenda." But everyone knew what I meant. :p
the beauty of watching this (beyond geeky entertainment value) is you learn stuff, even basic stuff. Like how you remove a retainer clip easily using pliers and a hammer.. had to do that and after watching this, it was a lot easier :) keep up the good work!
He's doing it like this is the 353rd one he's ever done.
Grandpa said to me once that the measure of a excellent worker (regardless of what they do, heck, even artist) is the ability to do something with the confidence of a seasoned veteran, even if it's the first time they do it. I've yet to see that statement be wrong.
@@aserta I love this saying
@@aserta When I started my training as a lab worker, we had this cartoon on the wall that said, roughly translated: If you don't know what you're doing, take care to do it with elegance. Now, with 20 years of experience and after having trained a number of apprentices myself, I have to say, holding up appearances is half the trick when dealing with unfamiliar situations. It's simply impossible to make a mess when you always stick to your basic training, and a lot of problems tend to lose complexity if approached systematically. By which I want to say, there is double meaning to your grandpa's words.
@@aserta There's probably some good psychology behind that statement. We all know panicky people make dumb decisions, so doing something with confidence even if it's put on helps stave off panic.
@@bryanhumphreys940 well, it works for politics... :-|
Gearboxes always amaze me. Not just the engineering gone into the gears itself but also the packaging of it and the shifting mechanism
Thanks Howie, you've really put in the work to help these guys!
As an owner of an ST185 GTFour with a slightly buggered gearbox I can't tell you how excited I was when you said you were doing a 'how to rebuild' vid. Actually I can tell you, I was quite excited. Now all I have to do is watch the vid, absorb it all, get the box out of the car (an engine out, downwards job), regurgitate all that I learnt from the vid, apply it to the object infront of me and I should end up with a spangly nice example just like yours!
Oh, then put it all back into the car.
But only after doing all those 'while it's out' jobs that will end up taking longer than everything else put together.
Easy. Thanks boys!
Somebody's wife is going ballistic when she see's what you've done to her curtains!
Damnit ! Beat me to it ! = )
Thought it might be an old vinyl table cloth, but nope, definitely a blanket.
I m pretty sure it must be from his grandma and that where she is, she won t mind
I was thinking dining room table cloth
Maybe he's really in the bedroom, not the workshop.
For a job involving so many bolts it was surprisingly riveting.
Best gearbox rebuild i've ever seen, cheers lads
Incredible amount of buffing brain power 5hat goes into design, build and assembly of an all in one transmission, transfer case and differential. We'll done fellas. I can't believe I just intently watched a re and re!
Using a collet and slidehammer to pull dowel pins. Most brilliant thing I have seen in many moons.
8:55 see, its little things like this which really set apart engineers from the rest of us. Seems like an obvious thing to do when the magnet on a stick was too large to fit, but I guarentee none of us lot would have thought of it!
And then when you made your own special tools for everything... Brilliant.
A coil of wire around a screwdriver touched to the battery for a split second will magnetize the screwdriver.
That's exactly the same thing I saw, I dropped my jaw man, never thought of that. And I'm a fucking Engineer, a shit one apparently lol
yeah , i've noted that trick for future situations
In my experience that is something a technician would do to get around something the engineers did not consider in the design.
@Thu Nell Ⓥ OK.
I appreciate the floral pattern on the tablecloth visible in some shots way more than I should :D
What a fantastic trip folks! Thanks so much. Excellent breakdown of the whole ordeal. Well commentated!
Love how easy it came apart. Here in eastern Canada 3/4 of the booths would be rusted solid a 1/2 of those would have snapped the heads off.
After taking the first six pieces off id have forgotten where they all go... Much respect... You did an awesome job on this as always.
This was a surprisingly satisfying video to watch … the gearbox is so pretty at the end ! 😀
I have the utmost respect for anyone who can, and is willing to, rebuild a gearbox. Crafting level: 999 :D
36:09 using scissors to cut the packages seems so odd. I've only ever used teeth and rage
teeth, rage, the occasional screwdriver or box knife and accidentally cut the seal as well
Impressed by the large container of seal lube and tiny bottle of threadlocker. Well done!
That was absolutely riveting. Kudos good Sirs! Chuckled at all the AvE references!
The special tool with bits laying around the shop is the kind of ingenuity that got me watching Project Binky in the first place! What a brilliant job putting that together. Just like early Binky episodes, my jaw was on the floor half the episode!
I'd love to see how you keep all these parts organized!
Solid work Gentlemen, Last Toyota Gearbox I did was an 1986 Corolla hatch, Twin Cam's 5 speed. 2nd gear syncro kept doing the crunchy mc'crunch. After the 4th rebuild, I sold the car.
Couldn't come up with any new and fresh swear words, for a 19 year old apprentice Aircraft Engineer that really was a profound experience... went to Mitsubishi after that.
Appreciate Nik's very calm voice during this. Cheers mate!
Yes I watched this as a patreon yesterday, and yes I'll watch it again now. Every little helps to earn the revenue you deserve ;)
Glad to see I'm not the only one!
As someone who would never even consider rebuilding a gearbox, I do marvel at the skills that some humans have...
I was "Riveted" I didn't feeling like "Bolting" for it, even when you turned the "Screw" up to 11 on the action I knew the "Hammer" would come down and the "Special Tool" would be revealed in all his glory!
The Blasting Job is Unbelievably Amazing
for a bloke that makes the tea he does a pretty good gearbox strip and rebuild lol
Can’t believe I just spent 60 minutes watching someone disassemble and reassemble a gearbox in minute detail...loved every second of it!
Nothing beats the mystery of after the bolt goes “tink” whether it’s loose or broken.
You mean when loosening a bolt? You'll know the difference, the sound, the feel. But I agree, a bolt that have been sitting in an aluminum case for 20 odd years is always a gamble.. But when you get the "tink" sound, you can breathe easy
Jesus please go back to your English class and tell your teacher you can’t spell for Adam and Eve. My lord 🤣🤣🤦♂️
@@mortenhartvigkristiansen7760 And yet, every time you feel that bolt break you hope against all hope that this is the time you're wrong and it didn't actually shear. And every time you're disappointed again...
Those gear boxes are a stunning piece of engineering. No wonder they are so good at making puzzle boxes.
If Howie can't do it, or he's not available, Jerry Can 😉
ya jerry can always do it lol
Yeah, but Jerry always rigs things
I wouldn't have thought you'd reassemble it dry. Learn something new every day.
This reminds me of Ripley detonating the engines on the Nostromo.. love it.
I know you guys must put endless hours into scripts, jokes and trying to keep everything interesting for all ages but I really do like these (simple!?) stripped back how we did it's. Fabulous as always, congrats guys!
And I thought I was being a bit handy by putting a new door seal on the washing machine earlier.
:-) how many square centimetres (hey this is a metric channel right) of skin did you leave on your hands...
I am fascinated by the contrast between the inside and the outside of that thing. The outside is scabbier than a bat's ass (love that phrase lads!) while the inside is sooo shiny. As an engineer, I appreciate how hard it is to properly seal things especially when they move, and those people at Toyota did an outstanding job.
36:11 Nick has a room somewhere, filled with filing cabinets. Each filing cabinet filled with Toyota labelled parts bags. Doesn't he?!
He did it that way so the video can be used as a reference for others to rebuild these boxes.
I am a sad man for watching the hole thing, while chugging tea, you guys are the best
Why are there no credits for Mr H. DidIt?
Oh, wow. Someone actually spends time to prevent to gasket sealer going INSIDE the inner workings? I've never seen any other channel do this. Impressive.
These two blokes actually respect their work and time. IMO, if someone doesn't do something right, when they're fully aware of the potential issues, they're not respecting themselves, regardless of "if it actually lasts or not". Best job is the one you only do once.
Subi Motorsport, Thank me later ;)
The amount of splooge in this video was right on point.
On a more serious note, well done lads, your editing is phenomenal, every time I felt an urge to hit the forward arrow to scrub forward past a boring bit, you did it for me. The way you make it possible to watch the entire disassembly then reassembly of a gearbox and transfer box is astounding. Love the content.
Thank you very much.
Just me that heard: "nice catch"
I said out loud. :))
Are you saying it wasn’t in the audio? I’m so sure I heard it I rewound just to make sure.
I am amazed at just how much I enjoyed this. It was wonderful. Those gears are beautiful. The complexity of the "simple" gearbox is a sight to see. The culmination of centuries of gear making, starting with church clocks. Thank you Nik & Rich for taking the time to make this video.
51:31 Tappy Tap Tap - someones been watching AvE :)
I'm sure they nicked from Happy Gilmore
there's a couple AvE references in the build series E.g a spray bottle labeled AvE's beer
That's a very nice granny-spec flowered tablecloth. Nothing says overpowered rally-spec turbo 4wd mini gearbox assembly as much as a horrid old flowered (and possibly oiled) tablecloth. Lovely.
Keep on chaps. You might even finish Binky before my children get married. I live in hope, and endless admiration.
No Soddering required, mercifully. Yayy for proper English.
Just remembered a fun fact: Toyotas with transverse engine AWD always have a 2.928 rear diff final drive ratio. Celica, Caldina, Rav4, even the Harrier. For some reason the Mazda 6 MPS has the same gear ratio in the rear. I contemplated using a E250F from a second gen RAV4 with a 6 MPS rear end to make a rally-style handbrake-activated rear axle disconnect, since it has an electromagnetic clutchpack. Sorry for diverting attention, enjoy the video!
This is really interesting actually! I'm looking for a bit of a project myself and these things are always good to know!
This thing has AWD!?!?!
I'm not suprised that Toyota built it...

Man. This brings back nightmares of having to do this on our '02 WRX transmission because the bell housing had broken. I swapped the guts over into a used donor case. It was my first time doing anything like this, and the car was one of our daily drivers. Fortunately for me that one was WAY less complicated than this!
Was it my imagination or was it when a new part in some packaging with a part number that was visible, it was angled towards the camera so the video could be paused and the part number noted?
If so, well done all round!
Stephen Swift . Maybe they are in the pay of big Motor i.e. Toyota. There should have been a disclaimer for product placement. Lol.
I get the feeling that a good part of the reason this video exists is for them to be able to rewatch it back after the cases were all cleaned. Its a complex bit of kit even for a top engineer, its good to have reference material like this. I've done similar before.
I coud watch you guys building things for hours...oh wait I do, Such a professional job, I have built quit a few engines, but only ever 1 gearbox and it didn't work afterwards, gearboxes are way harder ! Respect to you.
After 7 years, you can still hear Nick feels a bit uneasy talking to himself on camera. Don't worry Nick, it's fine - nobody can hear you.
To me it sounded like nick really couldn't be arsed to do this job in the first place.

Well I’m not sectioned as far as I know but watched the whole hour 😊
Quite surprised you didn't have all the rotating parts at least smeared with gear oil (unless you were using something very clear & light?
I rebuild about 20 gearboxes a year and always make sure all bearings and gears etc are well lubricated before reassembly.
Just takes that risk factor out on start-up while the reservoir oil circulates.
Taper roller bearings really don’t do well sans lubricant or any contamination.
My observation too, I would have used assembly or gearbox oil on every part rotating during rebuilding
Some of those pieces sounded awfully dry. Also nothing on the rubber seals on rotating parts.
Start-up will be several months away, any lubrication will have drained out of any gear or bearing .
@@datasailor8132 I spottet some white substance on the seals. I'll be fine.
@@alancurrie9108 That's why you assemble things like transmissions and engines with _assembly lubes_ rather than standard oil. They range from regular oil with extra high-friction additives (like MoS2) for immediate service to thick, wax-like greases or gels (with low melting points) for long storage.
I like to use Lubegard Dr. Tranny's Assemblee Goo and plain gear oil. Paul Cangialosi seems to prefer Dynatex Transmission Assembly Lube and Driven Racing HVL. My dad's a bit older and still prefers lithium grease. Even WD-40, as horrid a "lubricant" as it is, is better than _dry_ assembly.
One thing that he's able to pull it apart and assembly it again. What impresses me, even more, is that he knows the function of each of the bits he removes.
What !? Under 1 hour ? My mechanic charted me 8 hours!!!! 🤬😷

Flat rate book.
75% of the work ( cleaning inspection measurements checked damaged surfaces reconditioned) not shown as will as removal and reinstalling. What you saw is a highlight film.

Watching this, I am reminded of how vast your knowledge of these amazing machines truly is, and just how remarkably cheap they are, when you consider how mind-bogglingly complex and sophisticated the engineering and manufacturing of this one sub-unit is. Gob-smacked, I am.
Millions in development costs recouped over the sale of thousands of cars, it's one of the reasons that low volume cars like many exotics are so damn expensive for what they are.
Surely I can’t be alone in saying “woohoo” when I get something right?
This is freaking great! I'm contemplating the idea of swaping this into my Rav4 along with a 3S-GTE like Rav4GTT did. but I still have a lot to learn
👀 Can’t believe you reassembled it on your mum’s dining table 😱
This is where my journeyman skills abruptly end with skinned knuckles, mumbled expletives and a half dozen parts after re-assembly. It is a genuine joy to watch a proper mechanic/engineer at work!
This video hasn’t been made for our viewing pleasure. It’s been made so they know how to put the bloody thing back together again. 🧐😂
58:09 I do love a nice innuendo 😊 My nan and grand use to have those curtains.

60 minutes of quiet rebuild therapy in my hammock.
Great vid ... as always.
I didn’t realize other people used the phrase “goobered” ! That made me laugh
So many parts, such tight tolerances, completely unforgiving assembly process. My hat is off to you guys.
I never knew I needed gearbox porn in my life until now...
Nice to see it all go back together refurbed/cleaned. Nice middle ground between refurb vs crazy money and time renewing it all.
I went for a drive in my Toyota today, just enjoying the idea of this sort of craftsmanship in a car I owned.
Is there going to be a “how we did” how we did it vid for the special tools !! 🤔🤣🤣
You want a "how we did it" video for a bit of the "how we did it" video?
When will it ever end?
That would mostly be them sitting around with puzzled expressions, drinking tea, scratching their heads, then going over, staring, pointing at stuff, staring some more, pointing at other stuff, making hand gestures, shaking their heads, and then going back and having more tea.
@@jfan4reva Generally the parts book at least gives you a hint as to what it does look like. With older Landrovers at least you also got dimensions for them.
I'm currently trying to put the gearbox back on the engine of my ST205, and I've now decided that removing the transfer box is going to make lfe a bit easier. This video is very well done, thank you!

Actually...he says that at least once whilst tapping in a bearing/and/or seal.
Even as a lifelong non-mechanic I haven't missed an episode of this series because they're simply captivating.
But even as I marvel at the technical expertise of the boys, I can't stop thinking that somebody first had to design this gearbox - then figure out how to make all those components before setting up the systems to mass produce it!
Mind officially blown! 😳
