bj42 vs bj60 h41

[cruiserjunktion]

Hello,


I am interested in a h41 transmission for my Canadian spec bj60. (currently a h42)

I did a search and found a h41 out of a bj42.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/diesel-jdm-parts/180783-wts-h41-4-spd-3b.html

I need to make sure it will fit in my bj60, or can be modded to do so.

I believe the bj42 and the bj60 have different top plates.

I am not sure if they are interchangeable.


Any input will be appreciated.



Thanks in advance,

Deo

probably not the definitive answer you are looking for - but Im pretty sure they will interchange. Ive not done it myself.

Hi All:

If you are speaking of switching the top plates from a H41 to a H42 (or visa-versa) there should not be any issues, AFAIK.

Just be sure that the tranny you are buying is indeed a H41 - since they were never standard-issue in TLCs for the North American market.

Regards,

Alan

I can state that the top plates ARE interchangeable. I just swapped the H42 in the FJ55 to an H41. I'd echo what others are saying in that the H41 is NOT standard on ANY 'Cruiser officially imported to Canada/USA.

The h41 comes from a non N American cruiser.

Lowtideride says to make sure it originally had a split case.


So if it had a split case, all I need to do is swap the top plate/ shifter and I am good to go?

The top plates will interchange. Your 60 has the shifter hole further back then a 40/42 tranny. Did you get the t-case as well? The split case that is in your BJ60 will not work on the H41. At least all that I have seen are the one piece case.

I have a 40 series h41 and a bj60 tranny out of the truck if you want to see the differences.

The donor h41 is from a 82 bj42.

Did those come oem w/ a split case?

 

[The Dude]

It "should"... All 42s in Canada came with split cases, but as far as the rest of the world...who knows.

Can you get a picture of the back end of it?

The split case that is in your BJ60 will not work on the H41. At least all that I have seen are the one piece case.

I believe there are both out there. Count the tranny output splines. 19 splines and it's a split case tranny, 16 splines and it's a single piece transfer case tranny.

The rig is from New Zealand, so I guess this is rare part, here in the states.

The seller assured me it had a split case from the factory and shifted flawlessly.

He recently upgraded to a h55, and doesn't need this transmission any longer.




With the h41/4:11s in place and a set of 34-35s,

I'll be able to get a nice rubber overdrive.

This combo will also be able to get "out the hole".

So I will have the best of both worlds on the trail and highway.

It is way cheaper than a h55 and is a direct replacement for my h42.

No need to change drive shafts or modify the t-case.



I will post up some pics when it arrives.

Does anyone know how much one of these weighs?

Rear engine/ tranny mount ?s


Will the bj60 mount bolt on the bj42 transmission?
