My Fortuner has never been near a Gearbox place.

If it did, Rex would be my last choice....

Fearless has never had a non wear item replaced - except an alternator replaced under warranty when I dived in the drink...

One side shaft. The other one broke because Steve's Auto Clinic fitted a used bent Side Shaft...

That was 100% SAC's fault and Toyota should not have it's good name slandered because SAC is a sh!t company...

Serves you right for being a ticky tight-ass cheapskate and trying to save a few pennies like Paul#25 and not going OEM from the outset Image

At least I go to the company that does the job properly at a reasonable price.
