FJ62 Tranny/Engine Part Needed!

PolkLandbruiser · 12-30-06, 09:49 PM

I'm still "installing" the tranny, and after all troubleshooting and problem solving, I have yet another dilemma!
The plate that the bellhousing of the transmission bolts to (8 bolts) which connects to the engine BROKE! It snapped the top part clean in two, but it was about the 5th time this week I've bolted that tranny/Tcase combo to it.

If anyone in Florida has this part, holla. I had hoped to wrench on the cruiser (not really) on New Years Day, but without that part, I can't do nothing to it. If I can't get it for Monday, I'm taking that thing down to the mechanic and he can keep it for a month until I can pay him.

Sincerely,
One Seriously defeated cruiserhead

Man that sucks. I'm not sure what you're talking about but could it be welded and made extra strong so you don't have to deal with this again?

that sounds logical, but the part is tough as nails anyhow...it's cuz i installed and uninstalled the auto slush box 5 times this week and it finally gave way from the repeated torqueing of the bolts and tension of dropping the tranny and engine.
I think it's called the engine plate??? The tranny bolts to it, and it's bolted to the back of the engine. I believe it's what the rear main seal is actually connected to. Something like that, and i replaced the rear main during this project...jeez, this sucks ass right now. I just wanna drive the thing.
thanks all

Guessing that this is an auto specific part only. Still have this 85 FJ60 trans/transfer I want gone...

haha...good one sputnik, tell me...does the adapter plate that bolts to the FJ60 tranny match the A440f Auto??? In better terms...does the FJ60 tranny bolt up to the 3FE??? I think so...send some pics, I'm all about filling all 3 garages with Cruiser crap.
prices too.
thanks

The Saurez chap is supposed to take this thing, but I'm waiting on a PM to confirm he has the means to drag it off my trailer onto something and take it home from Winter Park MLK weekend. I am not dragging this carcass anywhere unless it's confirmed gone - not when the local wreckers will take it for free.

As to an adapter plate - there is nothing like that on a 4-speed 60 that's why I was inquiring - I've never seen an actual slushbox so don't know how it mounts up? Just figure a stock t-case and how it bolts to a stock 4-speed - it's direct, so not sure what you need.
