The 1973 Toyota Hi-Lux was built in three transmission configurations, and this factory service and repair manual is keyed to this exact year and to the gearbox actually fitted, so every clearance and tightening sequence in it is the value Toyota issued for your Hi-Lux rather than a near-match pulled from a neighboring year.
