H151F Rebuild

[ArmyFJ]

Got the bearings in! Started putting it all back together.

Tower of Power - the output shaft all back together:

Output shaft back in the intermediate plate.

Input shaft and counter shaft installed.

Shift forks and shafts installed - those shaft interlocking pins were tricky to get back into the hole and stay. After dropping them a few times, I used a little grease keep them in place.

 

[ArmyFJ]

So I messed up when I initially pressed the reverse gear and hub onto the output shaft. I forgot the rear bearing retainer...it is in the FSM - but no picture of that step so of course I skipped it; had to pull the hub again...

This is after I installed it:

Reverse gear, synchro, hub, sleeve, fork, and idler re-installed...

Edit: This bolt type wheel puller from HF was perfect for pulling the reverse and 5th gear hub. I re-threaded some 6 inch long 5/16in NC bolts to 8mm x 1.25 and they held up just fine for both hubs.

 

[ArmyFJ]

All back together. Hoping to put it back in tomorrow.

Transmission and transfer back in. Took the better part of the day to get it all back in with some help from my son. That transmission tunnel is just so tight. Took a quick test drive and the shifting is great - love how it feels with the Red Line MT 90 gear oil.

Thanks for this very detailed thread! I'm keeping an eye out for the right H150F box to come up for sale here at the right price. The box on my 80 is working fine, but I've never dug into a transmission before, and I'm considering tackling a rebuild of a spare box as a bit of a learning exercise. The pictures you've provided really help me get my head around what this would involve. Hard to get a feel for it looking at the parts diagrams.

How has your box been going since the rebuild? Any issues, or smooth sailing? Anything you'd do differently the second time around?

Thanks for this very detailed thread! I'm keeping an eye out for the right H150F box to come up for sale here at the right price. The box on my 80 is working fine, but I've never dug into a transmission before, and I'm considering tackling a rebuild of a spare box as a bit of a learning exercise.

It is still running really well - no leaks from either the engine, transmission or the t-case and still a blast to drive.

If I was doing it over I might think (maybe only for a second) about doing the synchro rings for 1st and 2nd. Mine were just okay but I might have been able to get a little smoother shifts with new ones. That said, I have heard it’s not a sure thing that replacing the synchros will help or if it does it will be short lived.
Also, after the transmission has warmed up, its about a smooth and fast as a truck transmission can be.

I'm bumping this awesome thread to say I just got a fun jigsaw puzzle yesterday arvo:

This is a H150F, reportedly from a 1993 HZJ80. The guy I bought it off got it working, no issues, shifting well enough but worn synchros of course. He planned to do a full rebuild to have a refreshed box for his cruiser. He got as far as getting a mechanic to tear it down. Then it sat in his garage for a year, and his wife wanted it gone. So some cash changed hands, and now it's sitting in my garage.

There are some parts missing. Anything that was too worn already went in the bin apparently, which from a quick eye over means some of the synchros, and possibly a few snap rings and a bearing or two, haven't taken a full inventory yet. I'd probably be replacing all of that anyway. All the important parts seem to be present, from a very quick approximate accounting of bits. There's a little bit of surface rust on some of the gears, but nothing that seemed worrying from a quick look.

This is the H150, not the H151, which I actually haven't seen pictures of a rebuild for online. One reason why I'm planning to tack this rebuild onto this thread is to be able to compare the guts of the two boxes, so the differences are clearer for anyone else in the future. This box has the 21 spline input shaft for example, not the 14 spline on the H151:

 

[DivByZero]

So far I've done little more than lay the parts out and get a gauge for what's there, make sure there's no big problems from missing bits:

And a rough shot at laying things out in order to make it easier:

And the box of "everything else":

I'm not on a clock here, because I already have a working H150 in my 80, and no urgent need to get this rebuild done, so I'm planning to chip away at it and take my time. I'll be having a good look at the synchros and seeing what's possible too around parts compatibility. Curious if the three piece synchro rings used in the VDJ79 for example can be used in this box just by switching over the 3rd gear. Going to look closely at what's possible when I start tackling this. For now, I'm probably just going to do a proper inventory in the next few days, build up a "parts list" of what's missing, and oil everything properly and wrap it so it can sit for a bit without deteriorating. I'll post my updates in this thread, as I think it'll be useful to have references for both these very similar boxes in one thread.

 

[ArmyFJ]

Awesome! I am not sure on the synchros - I think they are specific to the models and transmission updates. At the very least I think you could cross reference the clutch hubs, the synchros, and the gears to make sure they all match. But I am not sure if they would fit an older/different main shaft. The taper on the cones for the gears varies a bit. As I was rebuilding mine there were variations even within a couple of years. All the best on the rebuild and thanks for sharing!

Synchros and gears changed a few times.
80series H151 & H150 had different synchro rings.
No triple synchros in the h150 from memory.

I think I may have the full FSM for these transmissions on a flash drive

the FSM I have is an extract from the 80 series Chassis repair manual

Just been going over compatibility by checking the full Toyota parts catalog. The differences between years don't seem as big a concern to me. From going through the catalog, there are effectively three distinct 5-speed transmission types:

H150F: [1990/01 - 2001/03]

H151F - Type A: [1990/01 - ...]

H151F - Type B: [1998/01 - ...]

The H150F and H151F Type A boxes were used in the 80 series from 1990/01 - 1999/09, with the HZJ80 getting the H150F and the HDJ80/FZJ80 versions getting the H151F Type A. Type "B" boxes were first used from 1998/01, and replaced the H150F entirely by 1999/09. From this point on, any 1HZ engines in a Landcruiser were effectively using the HDJ80 version of the transmission. The H151F type A and B boxes have significant differences in some of their gear shift forks and the corresponding sleeves and gears, as well as the main output shaft. They appear to share the same case, but internally the gear assemblies are generally incompatible, so you don't want to be trying to mix and match between Type A and Type B boxes. If you take any pre-98 gearbox from any 5-speed manual Landcruiser though, it will be a H150F or a H151F Type A.

Looking within the H150F and H151F Type A line of boxes then to check on revisions from year to year, one important thing to note is that the same output shaft, 33321-60120, is used on both the H150F and the H151F Type A, so in other words for all 5-speed Landcruiser variants and year models, 1990/01 - 1998/01. This gives us some important guarantees around compatibility. The same counter gear, 33421-60110, is also used for all versions of the H150F. Likewise, the same counter gear, 33421-60090, is also used for all revisions of the H151F Type A. So apart from the differences in gear ratios between the H150F/H151F, they don't seem to change within the entire 1990/01 - 1998/01 year range in any way that would affect fitment to either the output shaft or meshing with the counter gears.

I've done a full breakdown of all internal changes within both the H150F, and the H151F up until 1998/01 when the "Type B" H151F boxes came out. The lists below show those changes, sorted by the date at which they occur, allowing you to see the points at which new revisions of the box arrive. Any lines appended with the notation "[BC]" indicate that the new part is listed as a substitute for the previous part, indicating a backwards-compatible (IE, non-breaking) part revision.

As you can see from these lists, in 80 series Landcruisers manufactured up until 1998/01, there are effectively the following revisions of the 5 speed manual transmissions:

H150F:
1990/01 - Original
1992/01 - Rev 1 (Input shaft, bearing, output shaft bearing changes)
1992/08 - Rev 2 (2nd gear change - single to triple synchro)
1996/08 - Rev 3 (2nd gear change, shifting system revision)

H151F:
1990/01 - Original
1992/08 - Rev 1 (2nd/3rd gear+synchro change)
1996/08 - Rev 2 (1st/2nd/3rd gear+synchro change, shifting system revision)

 

[ArmyFJ]

That’s some great info. Thank you for sharing.

I suppose there is some opportunity to update the components like you laid out. My guess is you would have to change the hub sleeve, gear, and synchros for each gear pair. But that would be a fairly expensive experiment.

As you can see from these lists, in 80 series Landcruisers manufactured up until 1998/01, there are effectively the following revisions of the 5 speed manual transmissions:

H150F:
1990/01 - Original
1992/01 - Rev 1 (Input shaft, bearing, output shaft bearing changes)
1992/08 - Rev 2 (2nd gear change - single to triple synchro)
1996/08 - Rev 3 (2nd gear change, shifting system revision)

H151F:
1990/01 - Original
1992/08 - Rev 1 (2nd/3rd gear+synchro change)
1996/08 - Rev 2 (1st/2nd/3rd gear+synchro change, shifting system revision)

Wow. Someone has a lot of time.

Great work.

Yeah... my employer may have paid me to dig through the EPC for four hours yesterday... can neither confirm nor deny. Hey, they've got plenty of unpaid overtime over the years, I call it a fair swap.

How much did that rebuild kit set you back out of curiosity? I haven't priced things up yet. I'm biased towards Toyota genuine parts, but it's good to know the alternatives.

So today I managed to take a proper accounting of what I have and what's missing. I have the fifth gear synchro, missing the rest. Missing one of the hubs, but it's available new and not too expensive. Missing three of the bearings for the gears. A couple of the hub sleeves look a bit worn, might price up replacements. Apart from that, I gave all the internal bits a quick run through the parts washer:

Then gave everything moisture sensitive an oil bath in some good clean synthetic oil, and bagged and tagged it all:

Well, bagged at least. Ran out of time to label things, but now everything is properly "parked" and won't deteriorate. I'll work up some shopping lists in the next couple of days.

563 €uro + import TAX etc. I didn't have a much choice in my country. There is only few LC80 and I have to buy everything of the internet and import it. One set is for H151F and other is for transfer case

How’s the input shaft?

For what it’s worth I’ve rebuilt 4 H151fs for my various cruisers and rather than trying to rebuild the original 80 series boxes, I have purchased H150Fs from VDJ79s. You can swap the input shaft and bellhousing and it bolts straight in. Gives you triple syncros on the gears and a few other improvements. I’ve paid $500au for each VDJ79 gearbox (they’ve have between 33,000-78,000kms).

Much cheaper than rebuilding the 80 series boxes and a better box overall. Also gives a slightly shorter first and second ratio which works better for off-roading.

I thought it was the H152 now found behind the 1VD? I do know the GR7x uses the H150 and maybe a certain model of 200.
