It’s not the guide. It’s the lever hitting the body of the vehicle. I have adjusted the ball joint linkage as far as it will go. It has the be the wrong lever. It would work in late tub but not my 4/80.

The drawing in the parts catalogue actually shows a different shifter with three bends:

I changed to correct shifter and this has moved the shifter forward and provided more clearance in the 4WD position. I still don’t have enough clearance to engage Low Range. I have adjusted the linkage with the ball joint that actuated the H/N/L lever however it doesn’t provide adjustment...

This is an H55F in a mates 2/82 HJ47. So to confirm you don’t need these mods on a 10/82 onwards?

It turns out I should have looked at my own vehicles harder. My 83 HJ47 has a different transmission cover plate to the 80 BJ40. It has a hump, different (larger) gearbox rubber boot and the transfer shifter cut out goes further to the right. It also has the 2nd shifter stick after all. Will...

Thank you. Would you have a photo that showed the right hand side of those covers? They are cut off in the photo. My 47 has the standard H41. I will get a photo of it. I am thinking my BJ40 now needs the cover plate with the wider transfer home to engage L4.

Interesting. I checked a 82 BJ42 and it has the second lever. This BJ42 is a split case/4 speed but it has the handbrake in the rear axle so they must have done this once the 5 speed came into production as an option. My 83 HJ47 has the third lever. Now in Australia the HJ47 never had a 5...

Thank you very much. Really appreciate it. I am using the 1st shifter and have the second one I could change to. What is the third shifter from? My 83 HJ47 looks to have this type.

I have just upgraded my BJ40 to split case transfer and matching four speed. Mine was a 4/80 model so have changed to 8/80 onwards. My transfer shifter is fouling the transmission cover in the H4 and L4 positions. As far as I know the transmission covers did not change from 79 onwards. It’s...

Following up from previous queries: Can I use a 8/80+ split case transfer on an pre 8/80H41 4 speed which previously had a single case transfer fitted? If not; What would need to be changed? Thank you Dave

Thanks. The 66 Ute is just a farm Ute with PTO tipper. Doesn’t travel far. Low speed only. Could do with a new clutch so it’s worth pulling box out too. It’s actually mated to a 245 ‘Hemi’ which is an Australian Chrysler six. It was a give away and sat a long time before I got it going a year...

Thank you!

The high range gears broke. Was going down a hill in 1st and it let go - sounded like it stripped the gears.

Hello, I have a 1966 Australian FJ45 Ute. It has just lost high range. If I am to replace the transfer case; does this need to come from another ‘3 speed’? From my understanding the early 3 speeds had a 10 spline input pattern, 73 on had 16 spline and split case 19 spline? Or does this...
