Hey guys

Ok so Got another celica xx, has a W55 gearbox, it has a crunch into 2nd gear and I was wondering what my options would be to fix that.

Have heard of a wonder oil you can replace the fluid with that can help it.

also I have no idea how gearboxs work So what would need to be replaced? the syncros?

ATF is supposed to be a good short term fix. :wink:

Automatic transmission fluid? What just replace all the oil with that shit lol?

by **touge_ae101** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 8:07 pm

yup auto trans fluid. nah not the whole lot just start off with a bit in there and keep adding it until it stops crunching. john (CGXPWR) is the king of making crunchy gearboxes un-crunchy for quick dodgy sales.

i have drained some c52 boxes that have had ATF in them. as far as I'm aware it's just a higher purity oil with less additives? It seems to work if the box is not too bad to start with

bottle of moreys oil stabilizer and top up with oil

50/50 of ATF and your normal manual gearbox fluid is supposed to work wonders.

Personally prefer to run Redline shock proof.

by **whynot** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 8:41 pm

I tried the moreys in my old gearbox when it was on its last legs. quitened the bearing noise but made it near impossible to change gears without crunches. (350,000k c52)

Ok I will try pouring some ATF in and see what happens

by **touge_ae101** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 9:26 pm

yeah i'd probably start with 25/75 atf and the rest normal trans fluid then if that doesn't work go to 50/50 and see what happens.

seems to work well in C52's

I would put in the redline shock proof blue oil.

most honda manual boxes we drain at work have atf in them. its sooo much slippreyer than gearbox oil

The info is on the ToyMods forum, I can't be arsed searching for it so I'll leave that up to you. Shifter bushes for the W58, that should be enough to get you started. There's a white bush and a green bush, and the part numbers for both are listed.

First replace the gear stick green seat cup and the gear stick white nylon bush

redline shockproof is what I've been told....

haven't tested it on mine yet, although it's sitting there ready lol

sweet ill give that a try, i got a spare shifter so will give that a go

by **UTERUS** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:10 pm

Yup, redline lightweight shockproof is the best oil I've used so far.

by **Truenotch** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 7:30 pm

Another thumbs up for redline shockproof here.

According to my gearbox man, ATF is a bad idea in toyota boxes because it's bad for the cones.

by **Brawler** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:44 pm

I will probally just take the ATF back to repco, its probably gonna cause more issues in the long run,.,,.

i will give redline a go, as well as a shifter bush change

by **Heylin** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:26 pm

Redline MT90 or Castrol Syntrax works wonders on MR2 gearbox.

by **Brawler** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 4:56 pm

Oh we are also talking a complete drain and swap with redline stuff?
