Re: 120Y Gearboxes. YOUR THOUGHTS.

[Andrew Denniss]

I had a 1200 4 speed behind a worked A15in a 1200ute  for 3 years without breaking it this was even with a button clutch after finally breaking the 4 speed in my coupe I went for the toyota 5speed .They can take a lot of abuse so bye the sounds of it something isnt right have the oil levels been right??

YOUR THOUGHTS.  Jess where are you these are a very simple gear box and mainbearings cost stuff all .If you convert to an auto you will be very disapointed with both your economy and performance Peter Jesse Hinze wrote: HI LISTMy 75 120Y Coupe with an A-12 with twin SU's has gone through 5 gearboxes within the last 6 months. I am still a school student who is lucky to earn $150 a week. In all of them the selector buggers up and the main bearings go, and to get rebuilt costs an arm and a leg. I've tried a 5 speed out of a sunny, and the same. I am thinking of changing over to a standard auto, to do this what needs to be changed? eg,flywheel, tailshaft,etc. Could I get away with leaving the normal pedals in it, and just disconnecting the clutch pedal? Are there any other cheap autos that bolt straight on?
