Think I saw a loose one yesterday, will check in morn

 

[65swb45]

Definitely.

 

[erics]

there are two versions of that, one for 4 speed (pre-85 h2) and one for long h42 / h55 ('85+)... just has a bit of a different bend.

 

[POPO AGIE]

I have an H55F and a split transfer case going into a 78 FJ40 so go with the longer one. I am modifying the hump for an FJ60 cover to get the holes to match the shifters.

This is the lever that was provided with the gear boxes.

Here are pics I copied from a thread on here showing differences between the early (h42) and late (long h42/h55) versions... someone can probably find the thread...

in full pic the early is on left,,, in closeups the later is on the left.

What I am looking for is a lever like the 5 speed with the taper but looks like they were only for the vacuum controlled transfer cases.

Free bump - if anyone has one of those FJ60 inspection cover humps I'm in need. Doing the same swap as POPO into the same year!

I found this on Ebay

Fj62 left
Think that's the 83 cover

@cruiserland - are you interested in selling that cover?

 

[POPO AGIE]

No I just bought it and it will be delivered tomorrow. I will use it on my 78 cover.

 

[cruiserland]

Yep

 

[cruiserland]

[cruiserland]

Have extra boots too if OP popo needs em

If you want a fat transfer case shifter you want a 4/85-7/87 US imported FJ60 inspection cover. Lower left.

Reason is because the opening in the cover for the transfer case matches the 8/87-1/90 FJ62. The FJ62 uses a fat shifter
Still researching but think 8/87-1/90 FJ62 with a carburated 3F had a manual shifter transfer option that had a fat shifter..

During the nineties and early two thousands manual shift 70 series used a fat shifter.

Been collecting parts for a five speed conversion for a long. I've bought a lot of parts to experiment with.

That is exactly what I was looking for.
I have a cover for a FJ60 that is raised over the top of the transmission cover and has a wider opening for the transfer case shifter and it was just handed to my by the Postman.

Seems like it would be easiest to take the thin stick and cut it and weld on the fat stick from the 62 instead of hunting down some non US option. Didn’t later mini trucks also use the fat stick?
