62 series transmission swap

[Rgs5762]

I have an '88 FJ-62 that needs a transmission (again.) My question before I do a direct changeout is can I install a later model landcruiser transmission with better reliability. I bought this vehicle new in 1988 and it's a great truck, but thr transmission is definitely the weak link.

Unfortunately not - the easiest solution would be to swap in another automatic transmission, or just go to a H55F manual.

Just took the tranny out of my 62 to switch over to the h55. It needs new seals but that should be pretty straight forward. We live in Temple. Dm if you need it. D

another a440 hits the dust, H55 is the best move

The easiest would be @Hammer45 ’s tranny.
The smartest (not that easy) would be H55 swap.

I did the the tranny dance within the last year, 4 total, H55 is a dream but not without its quirks.

do you have an extra cooler for the trans? heat is a killer for the trans
how many miles on the current trans?
