Fzj80 A/T shift linkage removal (3 Viewers)

[MudSlider80]

Hello folks,

I snapped off the nut that secures the trans shift linkage is this something that can be replaced with out opening up the trans, or any idea how to fix this?

That’s not so bad. Was expecting it being the shift rod that you snapped.

Just remove with an easy out.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the lever that shifts the trans, there was a nut on a stud. how is this stud connected?

I believe it is A343F

The FSM shows the center of the rod protruding past the nut that secures the NNS. I would think that if the nut "broke" you should just source a used one from someone. Perhaps you can post a picture of what broke off.

Could you post up a couple more photos including one looking at the shaft
from the side?

You need to replace the shift rod with a new one. It’s a pain cuz the valve body needs to be removed. It’ll look exactly like this:

How often does this rod become damaged when replacing the NSS (IDK)??

And btw, I thought your original post was referring to the missing (what I thought was broken) bolt at the top.

Considering it only gets changed MAYBE once in its life…

 

[Kernal]

So a generous application of penetrating oil to that nut/threads prior to removal might help??

If it’s a 343 the part number for the shaft is: 35561-30070
For the nut: 94110-40800
For the washer: 94512-00800

It looks like they are listed in the post just above yours. You probably were typing your question as the answer was being given

Do an internet search for Toyota Parts Online or go to your local Toyota dealership parts dept.

The lever still fits on the spindle, would a small tack weld be okay or is that too risky ?

100% your call but…
100% not the thing to do

I'm replacing mine right now but I can't figure out how to get the set rod out of the oem one in the trans. I know it's threaded but its not allen head and hollow. and can't get anything on it. How did you get yours out? Did you drill it? I'd like to avoid drilling being inside the trans and all. Help would be much appreciated!

Were those dings present when you first removed it?

Can you post up another photo taken from a bit further back to show the entire assembly?
