I’ve been sick for at least week, beginning from the gearbox swap. Maladar has been sick even longer, but he tells me every time how vodka helps! 😀
Well, at least there is some progress, I ordered parts to attach the shifter cables and some rubber grommets. If I’m feeling good enough, I’ll go and get the parts from Toyota Tsusho Nordic.
We noticed that the longer drive axle for manual had some damage on in (repairable, but probably an awful job). We measured the A/T drive axle and it was nearly the same length and we decided to use it so we wouldn’t need to fix the correct one.

I’m not sure if that really counts, but we’ll see. The length difference might come from the stubs connecting to gearbox, but I’m not sure.
Edit: Just checked the part numbers, and the part number for longer drive axle excluding the stub is different between M/T and A/T

Poor Maladar :{, get well soon!
Thank you! I’m feeling a lot better, but I’m worried about Maladar. He’s really sick. Better call him and ask how he is doing.
Hope you get better soon! :{
