1hdft five speed question

[Radd Cruisers]

Will the five speed and transfercase out of a hdj81 fit between the frame rails of a FJ45?


From past expierence, the h55 with splitcase and vacume shift will no fit, needs to be full mechanical to fit between the rails.

Your talking about a part time case then? I think the H15* is shorter than the H55 but not sure about wider.

I think Tapage would be the man with the definitive answer- he has the manual box in his new 80. I suppose there is a local BC boy running around with the H15* that could take a measurement.

G&S had one sitting in their shop as well.

I remember from Tapage's post of his new truck that there was no vacuum shift for 4H- it was on the stick.

Thanks Peter, will wait for someone to chime in with some measurements.


Local has a cool build in mind, aqualu extended cab by six inches, rear box short six inches of course behind the cab and I think another 8 inches off the back of the box, 80 series axles lockers and arms.

I was looking at these pics I have of a H151 behind a 1HD FTE in a 05 troopy.
The closeness of the output flanges to the gearbox casing make the t/case look compact compared to my memory of a H55f and t/case.

Thanks mucho Rosco, thats exactly what I needed to see, very clean.

Looks like it will fit.
