Feed back available says, that the problem is identified with models from 2007 to 2011. As per my knowledge, the manual transmition FJ was brought by the UAE dealer only on 2012, so if the car is GCC specs i think you dont have to worry about the above but would not harm to check further.

Not sure Shafiq, will check.
The MT used in the 2012 FJ is different and has different ratios. The word form some very dedicated off roaders is that the ratios on the new gearbox are not as well spaced as the old box and they say the older box is better for dune bashing
