Hi all, Getting rid of my Terrano. Spent a few months ####### around with an auto tranny change, on the odd sunny afternoon, only to find out that something in the electrics is blowing a fuse/draining the battery. Either way, upgraded to a Wrangler, so has to go. I'm getting quotes from wreckers ...

Yeah, opinions change depending on who's serving on the far end, new staff coming in, old staff leaving, up sizing, down sizing, being bought out by conglomerates etc... I had a quick look around and have tried Quadratec alreay, I couldn't see obvious listings on summit/Rock auto, they seemed to ...

After front u-joints for a TJ (front axles and front of drive shaft), along spicer quality. Anyone know of anywhere in NZ you can get them? Preferably Wellington area... Otherwise who's the best in the US to deal with from here? Have emailed quadratec for shipping quotes but they're taking a while ...

So bit of an update... based on this thread and other research I found a nicely kitted out xj down south, with all the bells n whistles which I put in an offer and got accepted. Long story short he got a better offer the day before I was going to fly down, so went back on the hunt again. In the end ...

Hi, I'm upgrading from a D21 Terrano and thinking about an XJ Cherokee. Interested in knowing what they are like to own in NZ, being a yank vehicle. Are parts locally available in general, or is it a case of importing from overseas? What's the limit of locally available stuff (i.e. you can get a CV ...

So took the lower inspection/sandwich plate off, and as expected, can't get a socket and wrench between the sump and transmission, but looks like a shortened 3/8 socket would work, so worse comes to worse could try that. 2 14mm bolts and 2 10mm. Did a bit of lateral thinking and tried a million ...

@Crash, interesting, are you quoting directly? The manual I have only says "remove gusset securing engine to A/T assembly. (VG30E model only)" and doesn't mention a rear plate at all... But that diagram does look suspicious. I kinda assumed it was a cock-up/weird perspective, but seeing as you're ...

TD27T... ah yes, sandwich plate, that was the word I was trying to think of.... Yeah, that would be a winner if there weren't a huge oil sump extension in the way! there's about 15mm clearance between engine side of sw plate and the back of sump, so I think I'd have the same problem as I've got now ...

Trying to get the flex plate off the torque converter through the starter motor hole as per factory manual instructions, and having a bit of a mission getting the bolts out. There isn't enough clearance (between flex surface and transmission gusset) to get a socket on the bolts, and the raised ...

Brilliant, thanks crash. I was planning on getting round to a lockup controller, and already have an external cooler lined up. Guess I'll just talk to the experts about refreshing the clutch packs then

Blake, it's in a D21 terrano, TD27T.

Morning guys, I'm unexpectedly "upgrading" my tranny from a RE4R01A to another RE4R01A. While it's out and accessible it what's worthwhile replacing/upgrading? I'm already planning on seals and filter, and I'll speak to a tranny shop about the other consumables (clutch packs, filter, etc). There ...

My bad, rookie mistake eh. When I checked it non-running, the oil level was already over the max marker, put in another half litre then and still no good (that was Tuesday). Today, measured it with the engine running and it was below min, so put in the rest of the bottle (500ml more). Still no good ...

Hey guys, thanks for the quick replies! I'm pretty sure it's an tranny-internal problem (don't say that too loudly on a Friday night), so I'm probably going to do a bit more diagnostics tonight and then look around for remove/install and overhaul quotes, with the aim of replacing it second hand ...

Hi guys, having trouble with my auto tranny in my WD21 Terrano. Simply put, it's not shifting into gear. I've checked the oil level, which was fine, topped it up anyway, and run through the self-test, which gave me a normal result (a long and then 10 shorts). It happened when I was in town, just ...

Good writeup from some yanks, with a pathfinder (I think some of them are slightly(??) different).

Matt, not going to get along to the one this month, too much on. Was thinking next month. You going to be along to that? Let me know if there's anything I should bring along, just got the single front pull point + rear tow mount (prob minus the ball), + newish AT tyres... presume that'll do for the ...

Ner, no dampner at all Pete, no particular reason for 3" vs 2", just to get a bit more clearance with the tyres (although I should probably correct the offset on my spare rims first!). I do wonder about going 33" tyres, at times, and the old 3" body +3" susp = 33"... Pete, I know you've got a ...

G'day everyone, I'm Chris, in the Wellington region. Kept an eye on the forums for a while, thought I should introduce myself (feels a bit creepy just watching haha). I got a diesel Terrano (D21) originally to ferry people across for tramping and as a general hauler (I do some weekend wood working ...
