Is the hilux g52 gearbox only found behind the petrol y series motors?
I'm wanting to find a surf with a g52 box to do a 3rz conversion but the y series surfs are rare as fock, are they sometimes found behind the diesel's?

You aren't limited to a G52, any of the W series boxes will bolt to the same bell housing as the G52, and are a lot stronger.

I have a LN107 Hilux with the 3L and a G52 behind it.

The Hiluxes with 3RZ engines came mated to W56 boxes from the factory. If you can, it would probably be easier to swap the whole lot over - Engine, gearbox, transfer case.

That's only the case if I got a 3rz out of a manual surf. Which is very hard, easier to find a manual 2wd 3rz.

I drove a 185 surf with 3rz/manual combo about a week ago, holy shit they go well made my intercooled turbo 2.8 diesel feel slow as fark!
What surprised me the most is how much torque they have down low, pulled well from idle all the way up to redline.

Hhmmm could be smurf, first things first is to sell the terrano then find a tidy surf, I'm only doing this if I can find an unmolested surf, but if you still got it if I find 1 I will definitely hit u up. Cheers
