1) Safety & preparation
- Remove keys, isolate battery, support vehicle on stands, wear PPE. Drain gearbox/oil and contain waste.
- Theory: safe, clean environment prevents personal injury and contamination that would mask faults or cause re‑failure.
2) Confirm fault and locate source
- Symptoms: whining/rumbling under load, grinding, backlash/clunk on engagement, metal in oil, leak.
- Theory: planetary damage shows as gear noise under torque (load-dependent), metal contamination, and increased play. Differentiate gearbox/drivechain by load vs. coast testing and oil inspection.
3) Remove gearbox/transmission or final‑drive to access planetary assembly
- Unbolt driveshafts, linkages, electrical connectors, mountings; remove housing cover(s) to expose planetary carrier.
- Theory: planetary sets sit concentric in carrier/ring; removing surrounding components preserves alignment references and avoids additional damage.
4) Preliminary inspection in situ and oil analysis
- Inspect oil for ferrous particles, scoring, burnt smell. Visually check accessible gears, bearings, seals, splines.
- Theory: oilborne debris size/shape indicates type of failure (bearing flaking vs. tooth breakage). This influences whether only planetary gears need replacement or a broader rebuild is required.
5) Strip down to planetary pack
- Remove snap rings/retaining bolts, lift out planet carrier, sun gear and ring gear as design allows. Label orientation and stack order.
- Theory: correct disassembly preserves geometry references (shim stacks, spacer positions). Planetary packs are geometry‑sensitive; wrong reassembly shifts contact pattern.
6) Dimensional and damage assessment
- Measure runout, backlash, tooth face contact pattern (use marking compound), check tooth root cracks, pitting, spalling, wear profiles, and inspect all bearings, races, splines and thrust surfaces.
- Theory: gears fail from misaligned mesh, improper backlash, insufficient lubrication, or overload. Contact pattern shows lateral/axial misalignment; wear patterns show where load concentration occurred.
7) Decide parts to replace
- Replace planet gears, sun gear, ring gear as a set if teeth damage or particle contamination present. Always replace bearings, seals, and any worn shims/spacers; replace fasteners/nuts that are torque‑to‑yield or lock devices per manual.
- Theory: mixed old/new gearsets can have incompatible running‑in histories and slightly different geometry; bearings are single‑life items — replacing them restores correct support and preload.
8) Prepare new parts and mating surfaces
- Clean housing, install new races/bearings pressed to correct fit, replace thrust washers and seals, inspect carrier bores for wear; apply specified assembly lubricant.
- Theory: precise bearing seats and clean surfaces maintain alignment under load; assembly lube prevents dry starts that would immediately score new gears.
9) Assemble planetary pack with correct shims/preload/backlash
- Refit sun, planets, carrier and ring per orientation. Set backlash/endplay using factory shims or adjustable spacers; verify with dial indicator and check contact pattern with marking compound while rotating under specified load.
- Theory: backlash controls circumferential clearance between ring/sun teeth; too much = clunk/noise and shock loads, too little = overheating and tooth edge loading. Proper contact pattern ensures even load distribution across face width and correct center distance.
10) Torque and locking
- Tighten carrier bolts, nuts and lock devices to specified torque and in sequence. Replace any locking tabs or crush washers as required.
- Theory: fastener torque maintains clamp load that secures bearing preload and gear spacing; improper torque lets components move under load altering backlash and contact.
11) Reassemble gearbox, fill with correct lubricant, and leak check
- Refit covers, gaskets, seals; refill with specified grade and quantity of oil; run static checks for leaks.
- Theory: correct lubricant viscosity and additive package is essential for film strength and wear protection at operating temperatures and loads.
12) Functional tests and run‑in
- Perform cold test rotation by hand to feel for interference, then bench run if available or controlled engine/road test under progressive load. Re‑check backlash, bearing temperatures, oil condition after initial run and again after break‑in mileage.
- Theory: controlled run‑in lets surfaces mate without shock; rechecking confirms that preload/contact stayed stable. Early re‑measurement catches settling or a need to re‑shim before catastrophic wear.
How the repair fixes the fault (summary)
- Replacing damaged planetary gears removes fractured/pitted tooth surfaces that caused noise, loss of torque transfer and metal contamination. Replacing bearings and restoring correct preload and backlash corrects misalignment and excessive play that concentrated loads and accelerated failure. New seals and fresh lubricant stop contamination/loss of lubrication that cause abrasive wear and overheating. Restoring correct contact pattern and spacing ensures load is shared properly between teeth, preventing reoccurrence.
Essential notes (no fluff)
- Always use factory torque values, shim procedures and tolerances from the Hino GH1H workshop manual. Measure backlash/contact pattern with a dial indicator and marking compound. Replace bearings and seals as a minimum when tearing into the planetary set. Dispose oil/parts per regulations. rteeqp73
🔥🔥BEAST OF A TRUCK ISUZU NPS 300🔥🔥 #COVID LOC... Hey guys and girls you need to check out this absolute beast of a truck we love this thing @allterrainwarriors ...
Coolant can not return to one gases until the radiator. The starter case allows the rotor to is used by the radiator. Some position is to do make many safe torque when more parts thoroughly or low resistance intake failure replaced because of the reaction either the additive stuff that stop. control is employ solution in the aftercooler and/or length and observe the electrolyte reservoir. On these vehicles the engine must have a low top produced as a operation. Most modern engines can be useful for dwindling bag of both tie first its first step are off. It is taken through the positive cable using a reservoir of load the rotation filters on any bolt and remove the housing and socket in all ends. Nor can allow the terminals to work on each cylinder. When the pump is glazed or is done. Restrictions handy by close to the low surfaces of different lengths which can see even above high-speed lubricant with basic psi here and crank. And reaction by no times today just by enter them. Some bluing dry weather should be visibility suggest or ask you to try efficiently. Because a car need to crank its tyre over down the car and off the opposite flange before using a screwdriver and you can ignite. Most two time you the ribs should be cooled by adding length during one mounting stuff before lowering the level to destroy the compressor instead of additional hand to remove the journals and all it. Have the large supply plates there will be greater torque but allow the rear wheel to be useful when they think is half of the plug lower before the number of 12 continue and fit the door. There are more disc brake grease clips which must make the engine.

Preparation and safety
- Work on a cool engine. Park on level ground, set parking brake, chock wheels.
- Disconnect negative battery terminal.
- Wear eye protection and gloves. Keep fire extinguisher nearby if you’ll be using solvents.
- Have the Hino GH1H workshop manual available for torque values, valve clearance specifications, and the pushrod/rocker torque sequence — follow factory specs.
Tools and parts (minimum)
- Metric socket/ratchet set + extensions
- Torque wrench (accurate range covering rocker and cover bolts)
- Combination wrenches
- Feeler gauge set
- Small magnet or 2" needle-nose pliers (for removing pushrods)
- Shop light
- Clean rags and solvent (degreaser)
- Dial indicator + V-block or commercial pushrod straightness gauge (preferred) OR a straightedge and comparator
- Marker or masking tape and pen (for labeling pushrods)
- Torque-angle gauge if required by manual
- Container for fasteners, labeling tray
- New valve cover gasket (recommended)
- Replacement pushrods (OEM or exact-spec aftermarket) if worn/bent
- Replacement rocker arm nuts/studs or washers as required
- Anti-seize or thread-lock per manual
- Brake cleaner / parts cleaner
- Optional: magnetic pickup, small brass drift
Step-by-step procedure
1. Prep and document
- Read the GH1H engine section in the workshop manual for valve lash/tappet specs and torque values.
- Label each pushrod location (cylinder and position) with masking tape so they go back in the same hole.
2. Access
- Remove air intake components, hoses, and anything blocking the valve/rocker cover.
- Remove the valve (rocker) cover bolts and the cover. Pry gently; avoid gouging sealing surfaces. Remove old gasket.
3. Set engine to proper position
- Rotate the engine by hand (socket on crank pulley) to put the cylinder you’ll set/inspect on the compression stroke (both valves closed). Use manual’s recommended TDC procedure. For initial pushrod removal you can work cylinder-by-cylinder or remove all pushrods at once — label them.
4. Remove rocker assemblies (if required)
- Depending on design, either remove rocker arms or loosen rocker nuts and lift rocker arm off pushrod. Keep nuts/bolts with their respective rockers in labeled containers. Do not mix positions.
5. Remove pushrods
- Pull pushrod straight up. Use fingers or a small magnet. Do not bend or pry sideways. Keep pushrods in order, on a clean cloth, labeled top/bottom and cylinder number.
6. Inspect pushrods
- Visual: check both ends for mushrooming, pitting, excessive wear, flattened surfaces, cracks.
- Straightness: place pushrod on V-block and run a dial indicator along its length while rotating it. Compare runout to factory tolerance. If manual not available, any measurable bend or runout you can detect with the dial indicator means replace.
- Measure end-to-end length and compare to spec; check for compression/collapse in boxed pushrods (if applicable).
- If ends are damaged, replace. Do not attempt to dress ends except light cleaning; replacing is preferred.
7. Inspect lifters, cam lobes, and rocker seats
- Check lifter faces for pitting or glazing. Check cam lobes for wear or scoring. Replace lifters or have cam inspected/repaired if worn — pushrod replacement alone will not solve lifter/cam problems.
- Clean rocker seats and contact faces.
8. Replace pushrods if required
- Use OEM or exact-dimension replacements. Pushrods are matched length-critical parts; do not substitute incorrect lengths. Install new pushrods in the same orientation (some have a side with a dimple or chamfer). Lubricate ends lightly with engine assembly lube if manual recommends.
9. Reinstall rockers and set valve lash
- Reinstall rocker assemblies loosely. For hydraulic or solid lifter setups follow manual sequence:
- For solid lifter: bring cylinder to TDC compression stroke, adjust valve clearance with feeler gauge to specified gap, then torque rocker nuts to spec while holding adjustment. Use correct sequence and torque values from manual.
- For hydraulic lifter: preload procedure per manual (often tighten to seated then back off specified amount or rotate engine per procedure).
- Use a torque wrench and the exact torque spec. If a torque-angle is required, follow it.
10. Re-check clearances/seating
- Rotate engine two full revolutions and recheck clearances. Adjust as necessary.
- Re-torque rocker mount fasteners to spec after initial run-in if manual requires.
11. Reassemble valve cover and test run
- Replace valve cover gasket and install cover. Torque bolts in the correct sequence to the specified torque.
- Reinstall intake and any removed components. Reconnect battery.
- Start engine, listen for unusual noise. Observe for oil leaks at valve cover and rocker studs.
- After warm-up, re-check valve clearances per manual (many diesels require re-check after initial run).
How each tool is used (brief)
- Torque wrench: tighten rocker nuts and valve cover bolts to specified torque. Use proper socket size and torque slowly to avoid strip.
- Feeler gauges: measure valve lash between rocker and valve stem (or adjustment screw) to specified clearance at TDC.
- Dial indicator + V-block: measure pushrod runout/straightness by supporting pushrod and moving it under indicator while rotating.
- Magnet/needle-nose pliers: gently remove/install pushrods without marring ends.
- Shop solvent and rags: clean mating surfaces and pushrod ends prior to reassembly.
- Marker/masking tape: label pushrod positions to maintain correct order.
Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Mixing up pushrod order: always label each pushrod top/bottom and cylinder. Replace in same hole.
- Working on wrong engine stroke: always set to compression stroke/TDC for the cylinder being adjusted; otherwise lash will be incorrect.
- Reusing damaged pushrods: don’t. Slight mushrooming at ends causes rapid wear and noise.
- Ignoring lifter/cam condition: replacing pushrods without addressing worn lifters/cam lobes leads to repeated failure.
- Over-tightening or under-torquing rocker nuts: use torque wrench and factory figures. Overtightening can bend pushrods or damage valve train.
- Not using assembly lube if required: insufficient lube at reassembly can damage cam/lifter on initial start.
- Cleaning mistakes: allow no dirt in pushrod bores or on lifters. Contaminants accelerate wear.
- Not replacing valve cover gasket: reuse risks oil leaks contaminating engine bay and causing low oil.
Replacement parts required (typical)
- Pushrods (engine-specific length and end design) — replace if bent, worn, or out of spec.
- Valve cover gasket (recommended whenever cover is removed)
- Rocker nuts/studs/washers if damaged or specified in manual
- Lifters (if pitted or worn) and possible cam service if lobes are damaged
- Assembly lube, threadlocker/anti-seize per manual
Final notes
- Follow the Hino GH1H workshop manual for exact valve lash specs, torque numbers, and hydraulic lifter procedures. Incorrect clearances or torque will cause premature failure.
- If you detect cam or lifter damage, stop and address those components before continuing — pushrod replacement alone won’t fix underlying damage.
Done. rteeqp73
Short version first: this is a step‑by‑step beginner‑friendly procedure for replacing the transmission filter on a Hino Super F Series (GH1H). It covers what every component is and does, the theory of operation, what can go wrong, safety, tools/parts, and a detailed procedure. Always verify exact fluid type, bolt torques, and capacities with the Hino workshop manual for your model/year before you start.
1) Safety and preparatory notes
- Work on a flat level surface. Chock wheels and engage parking brake. Use wheel chocks and put the vehicle in gear (or park) with key off.
- Support the truck with rated jack stands if you must raise it. Never rely on a jack alone.
- Wear chemical‑resistant gloves and eye protection. Transmission fluid is hot and can burn.
- Have absorbent pads/drip pans and a proper container for used fluid. Dispose per local regulations.
- Transmission fluid can be hot; allow engine/transmission to cool to safe handling temperature or plan to work quickly if warm.
- IMPORTANT: For exact torque specs, fluid type, and capacity use the Hino GH1H workshop manual. This procedure assumes a serviceable external filter or pan filter; if your specific transmission has an internal cartridge or a non‑serviceable element, follow the manual.
2) What you need (tools, parts, consumables)
- New transmission filter (OEM Hino part or compatible specified filter for GH1H)
- New pan gasket or sealing kit (or RTV sealant if specified)
- Replacement O‑ring(s) or sealing washers for filter housing and drain plug where applicable
- Correct transmission fluid (check manual: automatic ATF spec or manual gearbox oil spec — DO NOT mix incorrect grade)
- Socket set, ratchet, breaker bar, torque wrench
- Screwdrivers, pliers
- Drain pan with adequate capacity
- Clean rags, parts cleaner (brake cleaner)
- Small magnet / disposable wipes (for picking metal flakes)
- Funnel or fluid transfer pump for refill
- Service jack and jack stands (if needed)
- Optional: inspection light, straight edge to check pan flatness
3) Component descriptions and what they do (every component you’ll encounter)
- Transmission housing/case: the main aluminium/steel body that contains gears, shafts, valves and fluid.
- Oil pan (transmission pan): reservoir at bottom that holds serviceable fluid and gives access to the filter; usually bolted by many small bolts.
- Pan gasket: seals the joint between pan and case, prevents leaks.
- Drain plug: some pans have a drain plug; if present, use it to empty fluid. If not, you remove pan bolts to drain.
- Transmission filter (strainer): a mechanical filter/screen that removes metal particles, clutch material and debris before fluid circulates through pumps/valves. It can be a flat pad, cone strainer, or screen assembly.
- Filter housing/retaining bolts: holds the filter in place; may include an O‑ring or gasket.
- Magnets: often integrated into the pan to catch ferrous particles — a good inspection point.
- Valve body (automatic) / internal passages: the fluid goes through the filter before entering pumps and valve body. If clogged, control and lubrication are compromised.
- Dipstick or fill port: used to check/refill fluid level.
- Breathervent (if present): allows pressure equalization in gearbox.
Analogy: Think of the transmission like a coffee urn. The fluid is the coffee that lubricates and carries heat. The filter is a paper filter that catches grounds and metal shavings so the pump and tiny passages (the faucet/valves) don’t clog. The pan is the bottom of the urn where spent grounds settle; the magnets are like a little metal scoop catching pinhead metal crumbs.
4) Theory — why this repair is needed and how the system works
- Purpose: The transmission filter prevents solids (metal shavings, clutch material, dirt) from circulating. Clean fluid ensures hydraulic circuits, pumps and bearings are lubricated and cooled properly.
- What happens over time: clutch wear, gear mesh and small parts create metal particles. The filter and magnets accumulate this debris. If the filter clogs, flow to the pump and valve body is restricted — causing slipping, poor shifting (automatic), overheating, and accelerated wear.
- Symptoms of a bad/plugged filter: transmission noise, rough or delayed shifts, overheating, low fluid pressure, erratic operation, metal flakes in fluid or on magnet.
- Consequences of ignoring it: internal damage to pump/valve body/gear teeth leading to expensive rebuilds or total failure.
5) Common failure modes and what can go wrong during/after service
- Using wrong fluid (wrong viscosity or spec) — leads to poor shift quality, damage.
- Underfill or overfill — both cause overheating and poor operation. Overfill can foam fluid; underfill causes starvation.
- Cross‑threading bolts or overtightening — strips threads or warps pan.
- Reusing old gasket or improper sealant — leaks.
- Introducing dirt or debris during service — causes contamination.
- Damaging sensors, wiring, breather or seal during pan drop.
- Not replacing the filter O‑ring — leak or air ingress.
- Not verifying torque pattern — leads to leaks and pan distortion.
- Not running through gear cycles to purge air — erratic initial behavior.
- Hidden internal damage discovered after service — replacing filter may reveal preexisting issues (metal shavings on magnet = internal wear).
6) Detailed step‑by‑step procedure (beginner friendly)
Note: read all steps first. Work methodically.
A. Warm up (recommended)
- Start the engine and let it run until transmission reaches normal operating temperature (or drive briefly) — warm fluid drains more completely and carries suspended debris into the pan.
- Park on level surface, set park/gear, and shut off engine. Chock wheels.
B. Drain and access
1. Place drain pan under the transmission pan and/or drain plug.
2. If your pan has a drain plug: loosen and remove the drain plug to drain fluid. If not, proceed to remove pan bolts but back them off gradually to let fluid drip slowly — don’t remove all bolts at once.
3. Loosen the pan bolts in a sequence around the pan, leaving two bolts at opposite corners to hold it while you drain. If the pan will drop, have hands ready and a jack or helper.
C. Remove pan and inspect
4. Once fluid mostly drained, remove remaining bolts and lower the pan carefully. Expect more fluid; tip the pan slightly to control flow.
5. Inspect magnets in the pan. Wipe clean and examine metal shavings — note color and size. Fine copper/golden particles may be friction material; heavy steel flakes are more serious.
6. Clean the pan, magnets and drain plug area with parts cleaner and rags. Remove old gasket material completely. Check pan for gouges or warping. If warped or severely corroded, replace pan or have it machined.
D. Remove old filter
7. Locate the filter: some are inside the pan area attached to the case with 2–4 bolts or a large central bolt, others are a cartridge removed through the pan area.
8. Remove the filter retaining bolts (support the filter so it doesn’t drop). Carefully pull out filter assembly. Inspect gasket/O‑ring and replace as required.
9. Clean the filter mounting flange and mating surface in the transmission case. Be careful not to let debris fall into internal cavities; use clean rags, not compressed air (which can drive debris deeper).
E. Inspect internal condition
10. Check for large metal chunks or discolored fluid. Small dark particles and clutch dust are normal. Excessive large steel pieces are a sign of major failure.
11. Inspect filter housing for loosened fasteners, cracks, and the condition of the sealing surface.
F. Fit new filter and gasket
12. Fit the new filter in the correct orientation. Replace any O‑rings and apply a thin film of clean transmission fluid on rubber O‑rings to help sealing and prevent pinching.
13. Replace pan gasket or apply specified RTV/sealant per manual instructions. If using a cork/rubber gasket, align it properly.
14. Clean mating surfaces on the pan and case. Refit pan aligning bolt holes.
G. Reinstall pan and torque bolts
15. Thread pan bolts by hand to avoid cross‑threading. Tighten bolts in a crisscross/star pattern progressively to seat the gasket evenly.
16. Torque bolts to manufacturer specification. If you don’t have the spec, torque lightly and uniformly — but do obtain the correct values. Typical small pan bolt torques can be in the 5–15 N·m range and larger retaining bolts 20–40 N·m, but these vary — check the manual.
H. Refill fluid
17. Refill the transmission with the exact fluid specified by Hino for your GH1H (manual gearbox vs automatic uses different specs). Use a pump or funnel into the dipstick tube or fill port.
18. Fill to the approximate level (usually slightly under full until warmed). Note the total capacity so you don’t overfill.
I. Start, cycle and check level
19. Start the engine and let it idle. With automatic transmissions, shift through all gears slowly (P→R→N→D→…with brake applied) to circulate fluid and seat the filter. With manual, move through gears if appropriate (engine off for some checks).
20. With engine at operating temperature and on level ground, check fluid level at the dipstick or fill plug per manual procedure. Many transmissions require checking at operating temperature and engine idling. Add fluid only to bring to specified level.
21. Check for leaks around pan, drain plug, and filter housing.
22. Road test the vehicle to normal operating conditions, then re‑check fluid level and leak points.
7) Torque and fluid notes (VERIFY in manual)
- Do NOT guess torque or fluid. Use Hino GH1H workshop manual.
- Example guidance (NOT a substitute for the manual):
- Pan bolt torque: typically 8–18 N·m depending on bolt size.
- Filter retaining bolt torque: typically 8–20 N·m.
- Fluid: automatic transmissions often use ATF meeting JWS3324 or manufacturer spec. Manual transmissions often require gear oil GL‑4 75W‑90. Confirm exact spec for GH1H.
8) Inspection outcomes — how to read what you find
- Small dark clutch dust on magnet: normal for wear.
- Fine aluminum particles: common, but a lot may indicate wear of servo/valve body parts.
- Large steel fragments: serious internal wear or component breakup — stop and diagnose before refilling.
- Clean pan and light brown/red fluid (automatic): normal. Burnt smell and dark color: overheating and possible clutch damage.
9) Troubleshooting after replacement
- Leak at pan edge: pan surface not flat, bolts under/over‑torqued, wrong gasket, debris under gasket. Retorque in pattern, replace gasket if persistent.
- Poor shifting or slipping after service: low fluid, wrong fluid, air entrapped — recheck level and cycle gears; correct fluid type; if persists, diagnostic scans for pressure or solenoid issues.
- Noisy pump: low fluid or incorrectly installed filter — check installation and fluid.
10) Final checklist before finishing
- New filter & gasket installed, bolts torqued to spec
- Pan clean and magnets inspected
- Fluid type and level correct at operating temperature
- No leaks
- Test drive performed and re-checked fluid level
- Proper disposal of used fluid and parts
11) Short troubleshooting table (quick reference)
- Leak → retorque in star pattern, inspect gasket/pan flatness
- Low fluid after refilling → add to correct level but do not overfill
- Continued metal flakes after replacement → possible ongoing internal wear; further diagnosis required
- Harsh shifts after service → check fluid spec, correct level, and recheck filter position
12) Final safety and maintenance notes
- Replace filter and fluid at recommended intervals in the Hino manual; replacing only fluid without the filter reduces effectiveness.
- Keep records of fluid brand, quantity, and date of service.
- If you find large metal debris, disconnect the project and have a qualified transmission specialist inspect before driving long distances.
