SOLD! Sent you a PM. Just give me a call. Mica

1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 4x4 with Chevy 350-V8 and NEW Toyota H55F 5-spd manual trans! Silver with Grey int. All new trans. adapter parts (Advance Adapter Bellhousing, Centerforce Clutch, Toyota hydraulics). Rebuilt transf. case (while transm. was out). Nice interior (new carpet and...

I upgraded to the H55F (which rocks, by the way) in my '85 FJ60 with 350 Chevy v8 conversion. I therefore have the original 4-speed manual just laying in the garage. The tranny worked great when I pulled it (just wanted the 5-speed and went ahead and upgraded during a clutch/bellhousing...

Hi Everybody, A couple of quick questions on transfer-case rebuilding for those that have already been through the procedure. I tore mine down last night and it looks like there's more press-work than I was anticipating. So far, it looks like I'll need the following parts pressed on/off...

Cool deal. Thanks Mike. I'll rip it apart tonight and let you know if I find anything to the contrary. Mica

Cool . . . thanks for the link. I printed out the '84-'90 t-case info, but according to the manual's introduction, FJ60 is not one of the covered models, so I'm not quite sure if the t-case info is completely valid. Does anybody else have any scans of the t-case section of the FSM for a...

Greetings All! I'm currently in the middle of a major transmission/clutch/transfer-case overhaul/replacement. I'm replacing some lame conversion clutch components (for our 350 v8 conversion, done by someone else), installing a H55F 5-speed tranny, and rebuilding the transfer case (along with...

Hello to everyone . . . I just thought I'd give a quick update on our clutch-issue project (I'm married to the thread-starter in-case you neglected to read this entire, rather long thread). After much research and soul-searching, we've ordered parts to replace nearly everything...

Bump . . . still searching . . .

Wielyx, I'm gonna be in the market for some clutch parts soon: * clutch pedal assembly * clutch master cylinder * clutch hydraulic lines (from master to slave) * clutch slave cylinder * clutch throw-out bearing retainer (if you have the tranny off) PM me with part-availability...

Hey Gumby, To install the early-model master cylinder, did you have to drill some extra holes in the firewall? If so, did the hole-pattern interfere with the original hole-pattern at all? I'm currently trying to decide which vintage of LC Master and Slave to run on our rig. Thanks, Mica

Just some info: One option for removing the charcoal canister, should you decide to do so, is to install a vented gas cap. I've seen this several times on other vehicles (supra turbos namely) from which the canister was removed. This will provide the ventilation you need and at a point...

Gifu, . . . man, it's like we were separated at birth or something. I came to the same LOGICAL conclusion. The world NEEEEDS me to install a H55F. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!! . . . THE CHIIIILLLLLDRENNN!!!! Ok, . . . ok, . . . I'm fine. Thanks also for the sales-price examples . . ...

~$1565!!?? Man, PM me the name of that dealer. That's even cheaper than the quote I got ($1867 with the 5-spd shifter, and the oiler dealie). For the record, I agree with Landpimp . . . as a landcruiser buyer, a FJ60 with a H55F installed in a non-bastardized manner, with the correct...

No offense taken. Completely understood. I plan on making it right before we'd ever sell it, but the buyer doesn't know if I'm a hack or not . . . very true. Mica
