Recently inherited a 78 FJ40 that my father in law rebuilt many years ago. Having no experience outside of oil changes I’ve been learning on the job over the last couple weeks and have sorta become obsessed.
Finally got it running and some working brakes (master cylinder and a brake line)...
Site Search didn't show much about clutches as I expect 95% of US vehicles are automatic, but I'll ask anyway......
Looks like I'm up for a new clutch soon. Online searches indicate the very late FZJ80 from Aug 1996-on (AU spec) has a different clutch to the earlier models? What changed...
Appears my Master and Slave cylinders have finally succumbed to age and use. Replacing the Master with original parts does not seem to be an option any longer. Has anyone been successful with swapping for parts from other years or models....or know of a good rebuild kit?
Pick up in Glendale, ca.

So I am rebuilding my 62 drivetrain (h55f and rebuild t-case) and just bout to order a new clutch and just wanted some feedback.
the 62 is more of a daily driver with random excursions then the bi-monthly weekend wheeling trip, at best. I know the Aisin clutch is solid component but I am just...
Have a 78FJ40. Year ago put in brand new rebuilt 2F and mated a FJ60 new 5spd trans - completed by my local shop. Engine has been vibrating and pinging and rattling since. Mechanics now seem stumped but think the clutch burnt out due to me shifting 2-3K miles on the new trans. They want to...
Has anyone had any problems with leaking clutch fluid? My FJ40 has been sitting in the garage for a while. I was going to start it up and go for a drive but the clutch pedal went to the floor. The fluid is low in the reservoir and there is a puddle on the floor.
I have a 1970 fj40 and a few weeks back I went to drive it and found that when I let the clutch out the car would not move. I was able to change gears but that did not matter, no matter what gear I was in the car would not move. I thought something withing the clutch mechanism had failed, so I...
Just got a new clutch to install on my stock 1977 FJ40 2F. I had the flywheel machined to spec. With the friction plate and the pressure plate installed there is about a 1/2 gap between the pressure plate and flywheel. I could bolt it down and I'm sure the surfaces would mate, but that seems...
After replacing all the main bearings and rod bearing because I believe there was a knock coming from the engine, I went to turn the engine by and and noticed that the flywheel was loose and was most likely the reason for the engine knock (the bearings weren't great so the change should be ok)...
Hello everyone
I recently acquired an Iron Pig, 1975 FJ55, in Central America.
Truck is in relatively good shape considering its age and environment.
This is my first Land Cruiser and I'm super stoked to finally be apart of this elite club of LC owners and enthusiast.
That being said, I'm...
Hey all first time on IH8MUD, I am nearing the end of my mechanical restoration of a 1985 FJ60. I got the old beast started yesterday for the first time and realized I was unable to shift into gear. I have replaced the original 4 speed with a H55F transmission, which in the process I replaced...
Haven't figured this one out so maybe someone here's got some insight.
Monday morning I lost all the fluid out of my clutch cylinders. This was after I drove it to work with no issues, clutch felt like it always has. I was able to put enough fluid back in to get it home where I flushed it all...
Hey all,
I really did all the research I possibly could before posting but I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
So i recently rescued a 72 FJ40 from the jungle of Puerto Rico that has already had the Chevy 350 engine swap to it. It has a 3 speed transmission with a diaphragm style...
