    Toyota HiLux 2004: Should the gearbox need replacing after only 40,000km?

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota HiLux Toyota HiLux Advice Toyota HiLux 2004
    I HAVE a 2004 two-wheel-drive petrol Toyota Hilux that's done 40,000km and needs the gearbox replaced, and I had a similar 2003 Hilux that had to have the gearbox replaced at 80,000km. Do you think Toyota should be liable to replace it with such low kilometres even though it's out of warranty?

    WITHOUT knowing what you do with your cars and how you drive them, it's hard to comment. But if you drive them normally, I would think you do have a claim against Toyota. Having to replace a gearbox at 40,000km, and even at 80,000km, is unacceptable under normal use.
