Looking at a rust free FJ62 and the truck looks nice but the trans is shot. 170k miles.
from all I’ve read on this and other forums, the main choices are rebuild, swap with a lower mileage used, or swap to an H55 5 speed.
i would rather keep the automatic so that limits my choices.
a low mileage used unit are hard to find and you really have no recourse if it blows immediately after the swap.
need to factor in the option into the negotiated price so I am budgeting the right ballpark amount to get this fixed.
I normally wouldn't entertain this but the truck is rust free and for the right price, this may be a good way to go,
