Food for thought. I just rebuilt a toyota 5S 3w gearbox. Box was noisy and when I turned the tire by hand it would catch and not turn over smooth. Once I took the motor out the gear box turned fine, but it still wasn't the motor. the gear box just had no load. Found a bad mark from an impact (column) on the tapered bearing closest to the wheel.
