fj62 t-case Vac to manual shift (the answer using all toyota parts)

[cruisermatt]

Do you mean use the FJ45 transfer case? On the 60 series transmission?

What year transfer case and what year/model transmission?

Yep the FJ45 transfer case is 84 model and the hj61 is 89 model

Hi georg, did you end up doing that write up? I'd be interested in seeing it. I have a HJ61 vacuum transfer and I have a manual transfer off FJ45. Can I use the selector shaft that is longer out off the FJ45 transfer? Where do you install the detent ball and spring?

Kid, the vac shift t-case housing has to be torn down, drilled and tapped for a detent ball.
Or just teardown the 61 t-case and the 45 t-case, and rebuild using the 45 case housing and all the manual shift parts.
Use a complete gearset from one t-case, because there is a change in gear tooth count in 1986, IIRC.

Thanks Jim! I think I will teardown and use the FJ45 manual shift parts.
