So, at my typical snails pace, I put a top-shift three speed in my 1963 FST FJ40 a few months back. I did not put the transmission hump back on as I needed to plug the hole from the 4-speed that was in there and cut a hole for the PTO shifter...

Fast forward several months and I finally got around to doing those two things and go to put the hump back on and the top-shift linkage hits the driver's side of the hump. I guess my FJ originally had a side-shift three speed in it, is/was there a difference between the tranny-humps depending on the style of transmission?

I originally thought that I may have put the linkage in wrong, but I've rearranged the links every possible way and it still hits. I was going to use my BFH to clearance the hump, but thought better of it.

Thought I'd ask here first.

Hey Dan,

Just saw your post and forgot that I was going to send you a template of the older trans hump I have:rolleyes:. This said I have compared my 64 hump to the older one and they seem a bit different, but I'm not sure by how much.

I have recently gone through a bit of grief with my old girl and was graciously helped out by a fellow mud member. Rob, aka landcrusher909, recently donated an F motor to transplant into my 64. My thanks to Rob and to Tony from Iowa in helping loading.

I will start a new thread with the transplant shortly:)!

Sorry Dan..........Back to your issue:p. I am willing to donate my early trans hump if you can pay for the shipping!

I believe this is the one you need.

Si!

I understand how things fall through the cracks sometimes.

Thanks for the offer, I'll take it!

PM me your delivery address and I'll get it boxed and quoted!
 
Yes, our 63'fst humps are different from the others I think... Possibly more FJ25 like? IDK
 
Dan - did you get this figured out (yeah, a long time ago, I know 😆). I’m in this boat now, and looking for a solution. I‘m also having issues with floor clearance with the top shifter’s transfer case. Builds - 1963 FJ45L SWB Fixed Top "Sweet Simplicity"

Did you have that issue? Thanks, Paul

on edit: I found your fst thread and the ball peen hammer fix, 😆.
