Those of you who installed the 4l60e on a vortec/ls in your 60, how did you get the stock tcase shifter to work? Ive seen it done a ton of times. There needs to be an extension welded to the lever that slides off, but what did you do with the part of the lever that bolts to the actual toyota transmission itself? Any pics would be very helpful. I do not want twin sticks

I took the pivot off the stock transmission and made a plate.

That plate looks interesting. Im sure there has got to be a way to mount up a plate like that for the 4l60e. Did you use existing bolt holes on the trans?
Am i missing something? All i see in that thread are motor mounts?
scroll down the page.

Totally missed that. Sent him a message, wonder if htat only works for vacuum shift t cases or if it will work on a fj60
Let me know what the outcome is. I am planning a LS3 into a FJ62 in the next 6 months.

It’s only for the fj62 t case. Good for you bad for me haha
I did use the stock shifter and used hardware points on the 6L80E. Yes it is for the FJ62 vacuum shifted t-case.

60 case is harder to do the shifter on.

I used the bracket that came with the Advance Adapters kit (black bracket in image) and then heated up and re-bent the lever itself and added an extension to it so that it would come up through the hole in the stock location (which I should have made longer).
I don't recall doing anything else special.

Ohhhhh so that black bracket in the kit has a hole that the shifter threads into? Im still waiting on my Kit to arrive from Washington, I dont have it in hand. I plan on welding a rod on the actual shifter to lengthen it, but was really confused on the part that bolted into the trans itself. Im assuming it just bolts into that black plate?
