IFS Questions
My 2.7 went in to have the gearbox redone and a new clutch fitted. When I collected it I drove it home, about 2km. I went fishing up in Zambia for 12 days and on my return my wife had used the vehicle. She said that there is a noise coming from the right front wheel. When I checked I saw that the place that repaired the gearbox had locked the wheel hub on the right and my wife drove it like that for about 300km at speeds exceeding 100km/h. The vehicle was in 2H for all of the above. Will this have damaged anything?

Re: IFS Questions
I might be wrong, but i do not think so..... otherwize i would have stuffed mine up a long time ago. I keep mine locked for long periods of time(so 2 weeks at a time) espacially when i forget that it was locked.

Re: IFS Questions
Nope... you should be fine. You don't have to unlock hubs as long as you drive in 2H. The reason the hubs are there is to minimise fuel consumption and vibrations by unlocking the hubs

Re: IFS Questions
Tx guys, next question. My clutch was replaced with the gearbox rebuild, now when it idles there is a whining noise coming from the clutch area which dissapears when I depress the clutch pedal. Should I take it back and have them look at it?

Re: IFS Questions
I have the same problem. I had my clutch also replaced recently. I asked about the noise when ideling and was told the 2.7's are known for their noisy gearboxes. I am not a mechanic so can't say. I know it did not make the noise before the clutch was replaced. However, the clutch performs well and I have no problem with performans.
I do however also have a sqeek sound when the vehicle has reached its operating tempreture. It's only when you depress the clutch that the sound goes away, but while ideling and driving this sqeek appears. I have sprayed q20 where the sound comes from but this only helps for a day or so. Don't know what else to do about it.
Below the gearbox on the left side is a rubberboot, this has to do with the clutch and you can partially remove it, its from here I get the annoying sqeek sound.
You don't perhaps have this problem also?

Re: IFS Questions
Hi Guys, I have the same squeeky noise from my clutch and when warmed up the noise is gone... i have also noted that when pressing on the clutch a little bit the noise is there again... Like as id the clutch plate isn't pushed back enough and squeeks on the pressure plate. From what I have heard, this isnt serious and secondly it is either the pilot bearing in the front of the gearbox or the fork that catches slightly. One day when I open the gearbox up, I'll have a good look to see what's up.

Re: IFS Questions
They call this the "sonbesie" noise (chickeda [spelling?]). It is caused by part in the cluch release mechanism and Toyota released a technical memo about this. They are supposed to treat this part with some sort of Lithium grease and the noise will be gone. It is not only on the 2.7 but the KZTE as well.
TSA seems not to know about this as by bakkie came back from a clutch replacement with the same noise and they also tried to tell me that it is like that!??!! Most of us would say release bearing or such, but some searching on the Net revealed this info.
Problem is that the gearbox needs to be removed for this lube to be done, so get it done sooner rather than later (labour!!) or learn to live with it.

Re: IFS Questions
Thanks Theunis,
Thought it is something simple!... In my case I'm going to live with it, besides its not as bad as it seems...
So lesson learned, lube-up with some grease and don't get someone who works on race cars everyday to change your clutch, even if it is on the 23rd of December @ Zwartkops raceway.
