No leaks at all... She's tight. inuendo not intended. I've gone through the adjustment as described in the FSM to no avail. This can indeed lower pedal engagement height but any extra distance you get in pedal stroke before the engegement point is just taking up mechanical freeplay... just...

Like what? engaging in the first few centimetres of pedal stroke? I don't think so. Even if it is, I don't like it and want to change it!

Goat, Definitely seems that way. But I think I've ruled that out... since that transmission swap I've changed every variable that I can think of. The engine has even been swapped for a newer 2H from an HJ60. So its been the same high engagement point with varying combinations of clutch fork...

Yeah clutch function appears fine. However I think that either the clutch wears out prematurely OR because the throw out bearing is always pushing on the pressure plate, as the friction plate wears out it stops engaging sooner than it should. Did the adjustments you make fix your problem?

Hello fellow mudders! I've been absent from here for a while now but I have had a niggling problem for ages that I really would like to resolve. Here's the low down: 1981 HJ47 troopy. A few years ago I swapped in a H55F transmission. You can find a link to that thread here...

Actually, all the parts I have are from a troopy, so the roof would be no good to you at all. I want to get rid of the whole lot pretty soon - pretty much a complete car in pieces with heaps of spares.

What condition are you looking for? I have a set, but they're in pretty average condition

Isn't that a steering wheel I can see on the RH side of the rig? Those look like Aussie plates. And its an HJ.

Yep, should be 4.11. Pretty sure Aus didn't get the 3.7 ratio in the 40 series

Also - you should stick a post in the FJ45 section on this site - dedicated bunch in there...

Hey man, very nice troopy. Same colour as mine. And like you, I have a love affair with mine :). Where abouts are you located? Sweet action on that trailer too .... looking very fine indeed. My personal opinion is that you should go for a 5 speed. I put a 5 speed from an HJ75 in my troopy...

You're going to restore that LV!? Wow! I can't wait to see that ... good luck to you sir! Oh, and very nice work on that very sharp looking FJ45

No, definitely not "as new". But it is in pretty good shape. All synchros are fine. I took a chance and just stuck it in without a rebuild. That was about a year and a half ago, and I've not had any issues with it. But to rebuild, and to ship it, I suppose you would be getting very near to $2000.

Not sure if you get this brand in the U.S, but these are the suckers you want: Search for oil, fuel or air filters by part number : Air Filters, Oil Filters and Fuel Filters :: Ryco Filters :: Automotive Filters Australia I think you can swap the filter mounting block sraight out for a more...
