I don't know which way to go, Magnum from CCOT or LED. If LED what part number? Thank you!

Yeah, its completely stock; how hard was it to overhaul...I'm a little scared to try that.

Good morning! I have a stock 1980 FJ40 that stalls out when coming to a stop; it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it is very hard to get started again. The vehicle is usually warm when this happens; my carburetor cooling fan works fine. Any idea as to what it might be? Thank you!

Oh, okay I guess that makes sense. It looked identical, but was a lot smaller...I have since returned the part.

lol yes it is!

So I ordered a clutch boot for my 7/1980 FJ40 on ebay; before ordering I made sure I was getting one for the correct year but when I received it I found to to look exactly the same, but it was too small. Any idea what year it would fit by my description?? Thank you.

Thank you...not sure what I am going to do. Was going to try and replace the clutch first because it is definitely worn. Hoping it takes care of the problem.

Thank you, I tried to call him...maybe I had the wrong number???

lol actually a mechanic had me do that...I've done it before with another FJ40 in the past, its kind of a quirky trick. So, if it is a syncro issue do you have any idea when I could buy the parts? Thank you for all your help!

Thank you!

If I keep the RPM low it "usually" won't grind, but its pretty hit and miss; I can also run it through the gears without the clutch if I don't rev the engine at all.

Will an 8/80 fj40 transmission fit a 7/80 fj40? Mine is grinding in 2nd gear and I have no idea how to rebuild one or where to get the parts. Could it just be the clutch? It doesn't grind all the time. Any suggestions?? Thank you so much in advance!

Changed the fuse AND IT WORKS!!!!
