SOURCE: misfiring in 3rd and 4th gear

This sound like a timing issue, Check the points for proper gap, ck for proper timing, also ck the distributor shaft for looseness, or wabble, remove the cap and button and grab the shaft with your fingers and see if it moves back and forth, not in/out thats ok, but in a side to side type of movement. This can cause a missfire at hi rpm.

SOURCE: Cant find where to fill

if it is a manual gearbox there should be a plug on the side of the gearbox,it could be either side, it is oil level as well as the filler plug,you will have to access it from under the vehicle,just screw it out & add oil until it runs out of the hole,then replace the plug.......hope this helps.....cheers.

What lubricant is best in the gearbox

what sort of box --manual or automatic
most modern manuals run straight mineral 30 grade oil ( personally I run a 80 grade ep oil in the manual box as I consider it necessary to keep the gear teeth from touching each other under load where as ordinary oil has no stress properties to stop that condition) and auto boxes require the recommended oil as stated by the manufacturer
best talk with an accredited specialist shop for your make of transmission

What type of gear oil on gear box and diff on toyota 2004 hi ace commuter

If you are in a fairly hot climate like Australia or Africa a good general diff and gear oil is a 80-90 grade. You cant go wrong with Castrol. By using a fairly heavy grade like this you give better anti wear protection.

Engine knocks when startup but disappears after engine warms up.....could the oil pump be defective.......what about the knock sensor....

Its probably lifter noise,check what grade of oil is in the car or change it to a slightly thicker grade,i would expect that the car has a lot of mileage on it,if the oil light goes out quickly on the dash when starting its not the oil pump(very uncommon),knock sensor is for ignition timing to stop pinging,nothing to do with your noise,generally its engine wear
