Benny explains pros and cons of using the Toyota or Mitsubishi input shaft in the great wall manual swap gearbox.
He also gets creative on the tools, as he doesn't have everything he needs to execute the job.

Having Gian chat during shots is a great addition. Not only is he crack up, but he acts like a conduit for DIY mechanic viewers like myself. Asks all the same questions I would, haha. Great work boys!

Agreed! His commentary lately over the last few episodes have been making them just that much better.

Very much in agreement, the back and forth makes the videos much more lively.

I was going to add a comment. This was at the top. I feel like it's a half hour with Benny and Gian having a mates chat in the shed while Benny pulls things apart and puts them back together. Don't ever loose this vibe.👍

Hahahahaha "should of just paid someone to do it"....... That's precisely why transmission shops will never be out of business. That box of black magic is intimidating and easy to screw up. Big respect to the transmission guys who know all the fiddly bits and years of knowledge.

Because you're going with ITB'S now you should potentially consider using either a 4JB1, YD25DDT or a RB25/26 DET clutch disk, they are the right spline size to work with GW gearbox input shaft and the disk diameter works with factory 1jz/r154 flywheel and pressure plate. Which intern, means using all OEM Toyota slave, throwout bearing and clutch fork etc etc... Then just machine 10/15mm off bell housing to make up for shaft length difference ;)

Great to see you having a crack with the gearbox regardless of expertise in gearbox rebuilds... deffinately a specialist job but once you figure it out youll realise how easy they go together and come apart 👌

I used to install wheels and tires in the early to mid 90s. We always used the torque tube sockets on install. We had to check the torque with a torque wrench before the vehicle left but those sockets were strong and we used air guns all day.

@michaelb5330 3 ай бұрын

Hey Benny, just a thought about your clutch situation You say the great Wall input shaft is Mitsubishi What about the clutch plates from Mitsubishi Evo? With they be similar to the same spline as the one you’ve got I know you’ve already mentioned it for the Toyota one and I hope all the Toyota gear comes together. This is a very good video. I’m watching you do this is amazing

@A1N9D8I8 3 ай бұрын

i pulled and refitted a nissan skyline gts-t rb20 gearbox that looks pretty simular a few months ago and i think you "olny" have to pull that bearing and gear from the lower shaft to remove the inputshaft. i dont know if you have enough room to move the complet shaft back to tilt it before you hit the synchros or the 4+5th gear, and it looks like you would have to pull the bearing on the outputshaft, which you dont have to if you go from the other way. hope i could help :)

You need to get uni clutch on board. Get a nite parts r150 to jz Bell housing, its shorter and runs the jza80 w58 clutch. Which, uni clutch make a twin plate which is like a factory clutch to drive. Also has heaps of clamp. Andrew from motive has videos on these. It's how I've done mine in my jz swapped mx83.

@BennysCustomWorks fair. You've just gone about it the most difficult and involved way ever. No idea why people change the input shaft

@BennysCustomWorks 3 ай бұрын

@@justkidshavinfun764 I guess then you don’t have to machine the bellhousing down, don’t have to find a flywheel and can use a concentric slave

@ChristopherHallett 3 ай бұрын

Not many mechanics actually pull gearboxes apart these days. I know that I had to tear down and rebuild an old Ford 4 speed "toploader" gearbox when I went to TAFE ~25 years ago, but if I had become a car mechanic instead of a truck mechanic there's a pretty good chance that would have been the only gearbox I ever stripped down in my entire career. Obviously what with being a truck mechanic I did pull down a few dozen different transmissions over the years but it's always a bit intimidating, especially when it's one you've never done before and you do NOT have the shop manual for.

Loving the videos but i will say that from abour 11:00 through to 20:00 is mostly waffle, saying the same things in different ways. I think if you try to keep things more concise you may attract more viewers
