Your my last hope, I'm using the long I put shaft and a conversion bellhousing and my throwout bearing won't work right, 5vz tob and 3vz clutch/fw It's like the input shaft sleeve doesn't reach far enough, what release bearing do I use??
Thanks for the compliment. I have used lots of G series gearboxes however they are a tad on the weak side and we have broken lots, therefore they are not my preference.
This is brilliant info for a USDM guy - we don't have all the UZ options out there, but I can get a $300 Tacoma transmission- perfect for the Miata, don't need the size/weight of a CD009, though it is the better option.
Why on my van is the drain plug up the side of the gearbox but the full plug right on the bottom? Makes draining and filling rather hard cause I gotta turn my whole van 90 degrees to drain it out from side plug and refill fill from bottom plug.... The mystery of my van I’ll never know.....
Worth noting just because both shifters are in the tailhousing or transfer adapter case, does not mean it is an R151. I have now come across two of these tailhousings on vehicles plated for an R150.
How do you feel about the m54 zf 320 manual transmission? Theres adapter kits that should bolt right on with and come with custom flywheel and a spigot bearing

Hi KeL, have a 92 Auto surf running Gen 1 1UZ. She’s running a A343F and transfer box. My question is when she’s running through the gears as u take off it kicks between the gears all the time. When’s it’s a Chambered Muffler like flowmaster it kicks hard. When’s it a glass pack muffler it kicks a little. Your help is much appreciated
When you refer to "small box" are you referring to g series boxes? Also how do you tell the difference between an r series and a g52? Thanks for your help
Any chance you could tell me which box I should get for my hj61 land cruiser? I’m fitting a 1.9tdi golf motor. Using an adapter plate to a 3vse bellhousing. I’d like to keep my vacuum transfer, if possible, but I’m not sure if it will bolt up to a r151. If that doesn’t work, I’ve been suggested to use either a hzj79 r151 & transfer, or a hzj105 r151 & transfer.

R151 from a LZJ or KZJ prado would be my go to. Why the 1.9tdi into such a large vehicle? I don't even feel the little UZ is enough for the 60 series cruisers , I prefer the 2uz 4.7 or something LS to make them move properly. Cheers

Hello. I was careful to just mention the shaft measurements as I know they change in different markets and dont always follow a set system. I always measure them to check as you know why and ive seen it a few times. Fortunately if its long shaft our R154 bell can be used. Worthy of noting. Cheers

Hello. Not easy to swap r154 shifters onto R150 hilux box. By the time its done it costs as much as getting an r154, as internal parts need to be swapped as well. Not direct bolt on. Cheers Kelvin
ive just pulled a transfer case off a R150f from a 5vz fe prado. its the rare 190mm shaft. the transfer case has the left side drop but the 2wd H has a ratio of 2:1 and 1:1 when locked into 4 HL. read it should be same same?
Its all the same to me. A uz engine is a uz engine regardless of if its 1,2 or 3. Sure there are differences but the basics are the same. Stock 2uz manuals run a massive clutch but last one I used all my normal stuff and it was great. Cheers Kelvin
Hi there from the UK... Great and really interesting videos.. I've got a1979 gen2 Hiace with 1.6 four cylinder and 4 speed column change and would love to fit a 1UZ-fe... Would this be possible.. Us there honestly enough room? Many thanks for any help. God bless. Jonathan
We have done the next model which ran from around 84-89 but not that early version. The way to see if it would fit is get out the tape measure and open the bonnet and look. Cheers Kelvin
Do you no what bellhousing would work as I have a g53 gear box but it Cain driven so I want to get a r151 gear bock & mount it up to my 5L 3liter Hilux mate or do you sell them ?
A 2L-te surf bellhousing will work. I wish I had of kept all the ones I have had over the years from doing UZ swaps. Try to get a LN130 surf R151 which will have correct bell on it. Cheers Kelvin
Some of the parts are interchangeable between the two but not all and there are different versions of R154 and R151 as well. What we do is fit upgraded thrust washer, centre retainer and 3-4 shift fork to the R151 and they have held up our jobs so far. Cheers.
What are your thoughts regarding the H series gear box regarding conversions? They appear heavier duty than the other boxes. Dig your content by the way, great work
No 1uz powered vehicles can with a manual transmission from factory. All manual options are custom setups however most parts are readily available these days. Cheers
Hey man, I’ve a question for you. I am looking to swap a 1uz in to my 02 4runner (US model). I swapped the auto transmission with a 2000 Tacoma r150f and kept the electronic transfer case from the 4runner. I am having poor luck finding out how to adapt the 1uz to the r150f. Do you have any ideas?
CartuneNZ yeah I watched the video. I guess I just didn’t know what adapter you are using for it. I guess I am confused because I don’t see an adapter between the uz bellhousing and the r150f. Everything I have seen says that they aren’t a direct bolt up.
Do you sell these bell housings? Or do I need to get them else where? if so where do you recommend I buy one from, for a 1uz vvti 1986 4runner (will be using r151f I believe).
Yes.we have used H55f gearboxes in the past. At one point we could get bellhousings for them but due to lack of demand they are no longer available and its all custom. As a result we rarely use the H box these days. Cheers Kelvin
I might have to tell u v6 box have the top shift transfer and 4cyl have both 150 and 151 and are both forward shift. Also some handy info is that 96 onward v6 have the 190mm input shaft not 160

Hey I own a 1984 Toyota 4Runner that I've just bought that already has a (pretty sure) 1st gen 1UZ-FE conversion been done and I can't quite remember the gearbox it has but I do have all the paperwork with all the receipts from work that has been done on the 4Runner and I do remember seeing the gearbox model in there. Anyway I have a few questions if I may. Firstly, What gearbox would you recommend for this set up for me to safely be able to do some decent off roading in the old girl and possibly handle a future supercharger? Secondly, it's running the stock ecu at the moment that has a few minor issues so what would you recommend I change that to? (I'm a kiwi living in Australia so I can get parts easily from either). Thirdly, What are your thoughts on diff and the rest of the driveline options with that engine? Any help on any of these questions would be very valued in what I want to do with my new Toy.
Its easy to tell gearbox if its small or large by the drain plug as explained in the video. Strong box is the R series which is what I use. R151F or R150F. For ecu I prefer link. I always use aftermarket for boosting. Diffs are notmally ok unless the driver is complete animal then upgrades like safari or landcruiser. Cheers Kelvin
@@levinlarge the R151 has shifter further forward than R150. As I dont know how the motor is fitted I can judge where shifter will sit sorry as different models and shifter positions. Cheers
@@CartuneNZ Ok then so if I go back and find out what hearbox is in there now then I suppose I can work it out from there as to where both the R150F and the R151F sit in comparison as I want it to be in the relatively same position to that. What's in there now looks nice and stock so I want to go with that same factory look.
Ok so its fot the G52 5speed box in it which has "upgraded internals and re-built" apparently. Well according to all of the paper work I have for the old girl anyway.
Hello Ben. There is one R151 which we have running a hilux gear driven transfer which we are about to replace with an auto. We generally use the hilux transfer as they are easy to get over here and in the past have used a advanced adaptors kit. Best is really what is available in your market. How hard are you driving it? There are quite a few other transfers out there that are super strong with plenty of parts around for that we don't see much of over here unfortunately. Cheers
@@CartuneNZ I have the original chain driven transfer case with 1kzte and R151 gearbox i pulled out of kzn130, they will eventually be going into my ln106 with a Kiapoi manual pump and was told to keep gear driven transfer case as they alot stronger but have only recently found out i will need an adapter kit to mate them up
@@benwilliamson672 They are stronger but how much stronger do you need? I run most of my 1uz conversions on the chain driven transfer, even turbo ones. I had a 400rwhp surf with chain driven transfer. I have very few issues with them. Your truck sounds interesting. Cheers.
Yes sir I got your message about o'd light flashing in 95lexus sc400 I no it has something do with trans but whats the reason does it mean my trans is gone I don't drive hard I baby this car I'm just tired of looking at it I want to ride please help me with some tips of what May be wrong please move over here we need you here
Ok I had the battery unhooked for awhile I hooked it up just to crank and let it run I put it gear and go forward and backward just in my yard now the light want come on I was told it can't be checked unless light is on I havnt driven down road to see if its shifting these guys over here not smart like you
I would drive it until it faults. If it does, then I would have my test gear, you could use a paper clip, and check code. It could be a solenoid and I have a video on testing that, but I dont guess, I test. I recommend you do the same.
@@vwbeetle5578 Hello Micheal. Hope all is well in Africa. We will be converting a stock 1uz A341 auto to 4x4 using the transfer off a A343. Its still a VF series transfer like the manuals run. Cheers
Hello Alfie. Hope you are well. Some of the internals are interchangeable between the two some are not. What we do is use the r154 upgraded centre bearing retainer, thrust washer and shift fork into the r150/r151. The upgraded reverse fork doesn't fit. I haven't played with gear swaps for years now and my memory is a bit fuzzy on that part of it sorry. Cheers Kelvin.

CartuneNZ what manual transmission do you typically run with the LS1?
The stock 80 series gearbox is my preferred option.
this should work with R154 right?
Hey I own a 1984 Toyota 4Runner that I've just bought that already has a (pretty sure) 1st gen 1UZ-FE conversion been done and I can't quite remember the gearbox it has but I do have all the paperwork with all the receipts from work that has been done on the 4Runner and I do remember seeing the gearbox model in there. Anyway I have a few questions if I may.
Firstly, What gearbox would you recommend for this set up for me to safely be able to do some decent off roading in the old girl and possibly handle a future supercharger?
Secondly, it's running the stock ecu at the moment that has a few minor issues so what would you recommend I change that to? (I'm a kiwi living in Australia so I can get parts easily from either).
Thirdly, What are your thoughts on diff and the rest of the driveline options with that engine?
Any help on any of these questions would be very valued in what I want to do with my new Toy.
Its easy to tell gearbox if its small or large by the drain plug as explained in the video.
Strong box is the R series which is what I use. R151F or R150F.
For ecu I prefer link. I always use aftermarket for boosting.
Diffs are notmally ok unless the driver is complete animal then upgrades like safari or landcruiser.
Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ Ok so either the R151F or the R150F will put the shifter in the right position in the cab as well then?
Cheers, Jase
@@levinlarge the R151 has shifter further forward than R150. As I dont know how the motor is fitted I can judge where shifter will sit sorry as different models and shifter positions. Cheers
@@CartuneNZ Ok then so if I go back and find out what hearbox is in there now then I suppose I can work it out from there as to where both the R150F and the R151F sit in comparison as I want it to be in the relatively same position to that. What's in there now looks nice and stock so I want to go with that same factory look.
Ok so its fot the G52 5speed box in it which has "upgraded internals and re-built" apparently. Well according to all of the paper work I have for the old girl anyway.
If my alternator is bad will that make my od light come on and start flashing
Possible but more likely the ecu is detecting a transmission fault. Have you checked the codes?
What's the best option for adapters to mate up R151 to Gear driven transfer case? Trailgear? Or is there another option out there?
Hello Ben. There is one R151 which we have running a hilux gear driven transfer which we are about to replace with an auto. We generally use the hilux transfer as they are easy to get over here and in the past have used a advanced adaptors kit. Best is really what is available in your market. How hard are you driving it? There are quite a few other transfers out there that are super strong with plenty of parts around for that we don't see much of over here unfortunately. Cheers
@@CartuneNZ I have the original chain driven transfer case with 1kzte and R151 gearbox i pulled out of kzn130, they will eventually be going into my ln106 with a Kiapoi manual pump and was told to keep gear driven transfer case as they alot stronger but have only recently found out i will need an adapter kit to mate them up
@@benwilliamson672 They are stronger but how much stronger do you need? I run most of my 1uz conversions on the chain driven transfer, even turbo ones. I had a 400rwhp surf with chain driven transfer. I have very few issues with them. Your truck sounds interesting. Cheers.

Yes sir I got your message about o'd light flashing in 95lexus sc400 I no it has something do with trans but whats the reason does it mean my trans is gone I don't drive hard I baby this car I'm just tired of looking at it I want to ride please help me with some tips of what May be wrong please move over here we need you here
You need to check what the fault code is. Its pretty to understand that isnt it? Like test your car.
Ok I had the battery unhooked for awhile I hooked it up just to crank and let it run I put it gear and go forward and backward just in my yard now the light want come on I was told it can't be checked unless light is on I havnt driven down road to see if its shifting these guys over here not smart like you
@@CartuneNZa guy I work with said something bout solenoid
I would drive it until it faults. If it does, then I would have my test gear, you could use a paper clip, and check code. It could be a solenoid and I have a video on testing that, but I dont guess, I test. I recommend you do the same.
@@CartuneNZ yes sir I will thanks so much God's good
It would be really helpful if you could do one of these about 4wd transfer boxes on auto boxes
Hello Alex. There happens to be an auto trans on my bench right now getting a 4x4 transfer so a video is on its way. Cheers.
@@CartuneNZ I'm up for that video😎 A343F by any chance?
@@vwbeetle5578 Hello Micheal. Hope all is well in Africa. We will be converting a stock 1uz A341 auto to 4x4 using the transfer off a A343. Its still a VF series transfer like the manuals run. Cheers
any more info on that release bearing? not using a fork??
We are swapping another gearbox atm using an internal release bearing so hopefully that gets edited.
@@CartuneNZ do you have anymore information on it? I'd like to put one in my 1992 r150f, where can i buy one?
Its a kitset which we make ourselves. Email info@thecartunecompany.co.nz for pricing
@@qhay180 yep. Email and I can give more details. Cheers Kelvin
lots of useful info!
Glad to hear that!
Where can I buy the bellhousing on the r151f to 1uz
The bellhousing is a unit which I stock and sell. Cheers Kelvin
CartuneNZ ok how can I buy one
Send an email to info@thecartunecompany.co.nz
Is it possible to put the r154 internals into a r151 ?
Hello Alfie. Hope you are well. Some of the internals are interchangeable between the two some are not. What we do is use the r154 upgraded centre bearing retainer, thrust washer and shift fork into the r150/r151. The upgraded reverse fork doesn't fit. I haven't played with gear swaps for years now and my memory is a bit fuzzy on that part of it sorry. Cheers Kelvin.
What’s ur thoughts on the W series..?
I avoid the W series if there is a stronger option which will work, which in NZ there pretty much always is. cheers Kelvin
Thanks man!
