Fitment is the whole point of this one. The factory service and repair manual for the 1971 Toyota Hi-Lux is keyed to this model year and to the transmission the truck was actually built with, so the adjustment values and torque figures you work to are the ones Toyota issued for this Hi-Lux rather than numbers carried over from a neighboring year.

Known issues on the 1971 Hi-Lux. No recalls are on federal record for the 1971 Hi-Lux, and no owner complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year either. With nothing in the federal file to point you at a known fault, there is no shortcut to lean on here: the factory diagnostic and repair procedures are the reference you work from.
Because the 1971 Hi-Lux is listed in three transmission configurations, the automatic and the two Standard Trans builds coded L40 and L42, the right adjustment and overhaul procedure depends on knowing which one is under your truck, and that is the distinction this manual holds to.
