Wow - what a project, up until that feeling that "something was not right..."

Kind of funny really…You would think that something like this would have raised a person’s blood pressure A LOT; but that was not the case with me for some reason. Lemon and I were working on this together at this point, and he noticed that I was pulling on these bolts really well and that something was not right. When the bolt snapped, it made a sound similar to the ‘click’ that the torque wrench makes when you are tight. I just chuckled and said well, that was the bolt. He said “ No, was it??” I did not cuss or anything. I just removed the other bolts, pulled the flywheel down and he center punched the broken bolt while I began scrounging for the left hand drill bit and extractor kit. I drilled the bolt and he ran the camera, and like I said earlier, I will take lucky over good any day. We did have a couple celebratory beers after the broken bolt was out of the crank.

Hi All:
Steve, why go to the trouble? why not just use a 3F bellhousing (as on 1986-87 US market FJ60s)? Or, is it really just a minor modification, not unlike opening-up an older axle knuckle to allow fitment of later model Birfields? Have I mentioned yet, "great thread!"

This was no big deal Alan, nor is opening the knuckle to fit larger birfs. It was done in less than five minutes. The shittiest part of doing it is getting covered in the little metal fines that end up being metal slivers in your skin. A good tweezers, just like a quality church key, are a must in the toolbox. ![]() Thank you. I hope that folks can learn from these pictures and threads. Most of it is not that fascinating, but the pictures are out here, and can now be used for other reference material if needed someday.

Man this is an excellent thread. I can apply so much of this to an upcoming project on my 60. A quick question on the oil pump mod, does this work for 2f's found in fj60's? I gather it is to improve flow and evenly wear the opposite side of the gears? Thanks

Yes it will. As far as I know, the oil pump in the picture should be exactly the same as what you will find in your 2F engine. One thing on removing the Phillips head fasteners that retain the aluminum pick up and lower half of the oil pump: I used a Snap-On #3 Phillips that has a 7/16” wrench hex on it by the handle, along with someone pushing down on the top and helping turn the fastener, as these were not going to simply come out. I also used a hammer and seated the screwdriver into the fasteners, and had to use a flat punch to try and repair/make flat again the Phillips head of one fastener in order to get them all removed. That is why I now have installed hex head fasteners when I reassembled the pump and pickup body. If you do not own a quality screwdriver, you will want to purchase one, at the very least, a Craftsman Pro Series or something equivalent. Trying to remove these fasteners when the head is stripped would not be fun at all. Good luck! -Steve |

Hi All:
Steve, how goes the tranny swap? What would you think would go different in this process if it was a 1978 or older FJ40? Best, Alan |

So the flywheel is in and the new fasteners are torqued. Before installing the pilot bearing, I always make sure that it is a slip-fit on the end of the transmission input shaft so as to avoid any binding while installing the transmission into the clutch and flywheel housing. I just use a piece of emery cloth and lightly sand down the input shaft.
After the pilot bearing is a slip fit on the input shaft, it is then installed into the end of the crank shaft. After it is seated, I put a dab of anti-seize in the center of the pilot bearing where the input shaft will be touching it. |

So with the pilot bearing installed, I then install the clutch disc, pressure plate and throw out bearing. The first picture shows which side of the clutch disc is the flywheel side and the second picture shows the opposite side, or the side that faces the pressure plate/transmission when installed.

But I'll explain. I cut 2 sections from the plate , one around the old holes for the gear leavers taking in the rubber boot captive nuts. The second cut I took so the first cut could be slid into it's positon and welded up, the second cut then filled the hole from the first cut and was re welded. So I basically cut and slid one piece down and then the other piece up. There are a couple of minor bits like a corner to adjust for and so on but on the whole worked well and kept all the boot mounting geniune. __________________ If the wife's not complaining your not spending enought time with your 40! 2F+3FE+T+I-3F=2F-ETI THE MULE @ 400hp max Est @ 15PSI DYNO'd at 8PSI 155kw/208hp and 650Nm/480ftlb @ the RW Links Sponsored by OZZIEWEBHOSTING Mac's Space ![]() Advanced (HB) Intercoolers Last edited by matt.mcinnes; 03-17-07 at 08:24 PM. |

You might need to put a dent in the cross member behind the tranfer case for clearence or the uni may knock and watch out for the hand brake cable it has issues with clearence and route. Also mine has but only just a slight issue with the uni binding up at full suspesion drop due to shortening the rear tail shaft, the angle gets more acute, I have however moved the rear axle back 30mm. If you have not it may be even acuter depending on you suspension set up. I may one day go to a double cardial joint. There is one other issue but this my only effect me as I drive on the other side of the road. Petrol tank also maybe an issue.
![]() Hope this is food for thought if your not finished, I went to the 5 speed to compensate for the 4.556 diff I changed too. If you want any pics of mine just ask. __________________ If the wife's not complaining your not spending enought time with your 40! 2F+3FE+T+I-3F=2F-ETI THE MULE @ 400hp max Est @ 15PSI DYNO'd at 8PSI 155kw/208hp and 650Nm/480ftlb @ the RW Links Sponsored by OZZIEWEBHOSTING Mac's Space ![]() Advanced (HB) Intercoolers Last edited by matt.mcinnes; 03-17-07 at 08:45 PM. |

The 1/4 ratchet pictured her http://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php...5&postcount=56 in the bottom pic is one of the most used tools I own! I also upgraded to the new version with soft handle. For those who want a sweet wrench that is the one to own. 3/8 is next........ __________________ eBay Store is OPEN![]() ---> Heater restoration kits 1967-74 40 series ---> Replacement leather for 60 series ---> eBay Store - Decals, Heater kits and bits |

So now is when the fun starts. I had to lower the engine to get the trans and tcase slid home, that is why I had to use two hoists; one to support the engine and one for the trans and tcase assembly.
I am going to be using a late model cross member, however, temporarily for fitment testing and so that I can roll the truck around by hand, I have the front engine mounts back on and secure, and the rear brackets are secure on the flywheel housing, but are just set on the frame. This truck is not going to see hard core off road trails, so the fact that the trans and tcase are sitting an inch and a half lower than they would be is of no real consequence. Things are tight, but everything fits, and the rear drive shaft angle, even with a 4 inch HFS lift and 1 inch longer shackles is fine, and would still be if the drive train was raised up to a stock location. Let me get a couple pics up
