the R72 gearbox is known to have several problems with oiling the bearings, keep on top of your gear oil changes and check for leaks every now and then. I am not sure which drive shaft they use but one of them is known to also develop a leak through the yoke, but you are right these drive so much nicer with a manual compared to the autos
hurt me to see all those sparks flying around ....a multi tool would have taken a bit longer but no sparks and filings being flung everywhere. but props for having the guard on the grinder!
I didn't like the sparks inside the jimny either, but the grinder was the most suitable. Although I see a lot of people using the grinder without the guard, I would never do that. That's too risky for me.
Hi great video. I think my jb43 auto transmission is gone :'(. What is the cost of the manual transmission and the installation if you dont mind me asking
You seem to have the same engine and drive train (at least now) as mine. I wanted to do a 2WD-L mod but documentation on that model is lacking. I know there's a switch to put on a specific wire in the engine bay (the same you shunt for a manual hub swap) but I couldn't find any example for that specific year. Do you happen to know how to do it or plan to do it ?
@@MacioG There's certain mountain areas locally that has extremely steep hills, with sharp corners and grooved pitch roads. Using the 4wd-L would cause extra strain on the drivetrain when taking sharp corners on high friction surfaces. Having the additional torque from the low gears while still being in 2wd allows the vehicle to corner on high friction surfaces without strain on the drivetrain. This is just one example of where 2wd-L would be an asset. I hope this helps.
I guess he would have to put a switch to the pedal from the same wire he shunted anyway (as if it was the pedal senor) or flash the ecu or something, not a mechanic
Great! Was wondering when this upgrade would be completed. Good to see the Jimny back on the road!
Thank you!

Thank you for the advice. I will def adhere to these!
No matter how, you're doing a great job! Keep on!
@@MakerOner thank you! It means a lot 💯
Great job with the 4 wheel low someone out there this will help bro 🙏🏻
I agree. It's not common knowledge to do it, so hopefully others can benefit from it

Great video, beautiful conversion glad to see people keeping manuals alive 🦾
Yessir! Thanks for dropping by
Work that clutch pedal up and down!
And up, and down, and up, and down, and up, and down 😎 pump it
Literally me in traffic lol
@@Zaff_TT 😂😂😂
Awesome video 💯💯💯💯 can’t wait to see jimmy on the trail runs
Thanks! I'm excited as well
8:25 lolll the meme ref 😅
lol its true tho
I am a new follower of yours, i would like you to make a video of how you put the armrest on the jimny, thank you, i hope you read my comment
Great Job.
Thank you!
Awesome upgrade!
Thank you!
Hi great video. I think my jb43 auto transmission is gone :'(. What is the cost of the manual transmission and the installation if you dont mind me asking
I thought you might of got a other manual Speedo so you don’t have the Park Reverse etc on it
If I come across one I'll purchase it but it's very hard to find locally
Informative
Thanks!
well done sir 👏🏾
Thank you!
Congratulations
Thank you!
yuh get tru keep up the good work
btw when are we going the the air locker installation
Thanks! I'll do those soon. I had to put that on the back burner when the tranny failed
@@Zaff_TT ok cant wait until it gets install the jimny will even get on more bad than it is
Hi dear
That is transmission you put in your jimm?
5 or 6 speed gearbox.
from which car?
Hello. It’s the orginal 5 speed manual transmission , from the same jimny.
You seem to have the same engine and drive train (at least now) as mine. I wanted to do a 2WD-L mod but documentation on that model is lacking. I know there's a switch to put on a specific wire in the engine bay (the same you shunt for a manual hub swap) but I couldn't find any example for that specific year. Do you happen to know how to do it or plan to do it ?
I have an idea of how to do it. I'll make a video in the near future
@@Zaff_TT already looking forward to it
But what you need it for? I am also a Jimny owner and cannot imagine situation it will be useful.
@@MacioG when I need low gearing but also steering.
It's not recommended to steer without a central differential in 4wd mode (hi or low)
@@MacioG There's certain mountain areas locally that has extremely steep hills, with sharp corners and grooved pitch roads. Using the 4wd-L would cause extra strain on the drivetrain when taking sharp corners on high friction surfaces.

This is just one example of where 2wd-L would be an asset. I hope this helps.
Hey i am one of your subscriber , i also shifted from auto to manual but my jimny is taking high RPM, what could b the reason ?
When is it at high RPM?
@Zaff_TT when i drive it on five gear than at the speed of 80 it reaches 4rpm
I think it should b less than 3rpm over 80 speed
?
@@azaadoutdoors mine’s the same. It’s because of the difference in gear ratio
Instawatching this 😁
lol
Press clutch while engaging low range In manual and your issue will be resolved
In an original manual yes, in this swap…nope
