4H Push button to manual on t-case

[truekruzer]

Okay there is a big difference between the internal workings of the shifter:
Push button: 1988 fj 62 t-case
4H to 4L shaft is shorter and has "NO" indents
for the ball and spring to hold the shaft in or
out , and has a spring and bolt on the back
side of the shifter fork.

Things to change:
Shaft - for 4H to 4L.
shaft - For 2H to 4H and you'll need to also change the lever that bolts to that shaft, because it is on a different angle and is also longer.
The bolt in the H55f tranny that the 4x4 shift works on, it is about 1.5" longer on the manual t-case.
( the bolt is longer on the 1985 fj60 h55f then the 1988 fj62)
But I'm using 1983 fj60 t-case parts (I also have a 1985 h55f and manual t-case out of a fj60 to compare as well) but I like the 1988 fj62 t-case better and will be drilling and tapping the case for the shifter bolt and spring and ball. It has better oil journals.

I will take pictures and show everyone what and how i do it. tomorrow ( saturday) Just wanted to let everyone know.

Well I'm intrigued. I had originally been planning on just swapping out for an FJ60 case when rebuild time came for mine. As of now it has a manual vacuum valve, which retains the vacuum mechanism (of course) but eliminates the firewall solenoids.

This has been done and documented by Al (lowtideride). If you search you will find more info.

I did a search on friday night and found that "lowtideride" did the same thing that I'm doing, but he did it with a automatic tranny.

I will take pictures of the parts that you'll need for the h55f tranny to the t-case.

But I read a different thread and I can't seem to find it again, But he had the part # for the seal and the boot that will be needed in lieu of the vacum diaphram. But he did not take the time to take the t-case apart to replace the shaft and so on.

I'm still waiting on that odd 15mm x 1.5 tap, so i can finish up and show all what i have done.

I'd just like to say sorry for not having the pictures yet.

Sorry it was not lowtiderider that did the t-case.

Here is what i was talking about.
