If the transmission in your Toybaru Twin has ever been out of the car, there is a chance the reverse lockout plate on the shifter is no longer correctly adjusted and maybe impacting shifting.

In typical fashion, my plan didn’t work out, so now I’m onto Version Two of my oil pressure monitoring solution.
One thing I have been chasing since getting this car is backlash and thumping from the rear diff when coming on and off throttle or changing gear; I finally sorted it.
Well, that’s it, it’s been six months, which means the WOF on the Marina has run out.
The final lot of work in the week since I bought the car, was to sort out some shifting issues
Next on the list of things to quickly knock off, I wanted to install a proper gauge to measure oil pressure and temp.
Having arrived home with the new car the day before, I took no time at all to start ripping the car to bits.
It’d been an interesting month or so since I sold the Alto, trying to work out what on earth my next project would be. Finally, It fell into my lap.
Selling the Alto had an interesting unintended benefit; it has allowed me to get the Marina out and use it more since it’s not blocked in anymore.
I can be a bit lazy when it comes to maintaining the daily, particularly when it works fine. Preventative maintenance and I aren’t really on good terms.
