Hi MUD community.
After recently doing a H55 conversion on the HJ47 with a fresh gearbox and transfer case i realised that the gearbox and transfer case in my FJ45 was a bit noisier than it should be.
With the recent success with the H55 conversion i tore the H41 out of the 45 with enthusiasm and was excited to get it pulled down.
It has the one piece transfer case. The transfer case looks serviceable and i have a rebuild kit on the way for it.
After spending a day disassembling the gearbox and getting everything cleanish im not too keen on putting the input shaft back in and i'd like to put a new countershaft in aswell.
Where i've run into a problem is the H41 input shafts 22 teeth. i can only seem to find a H42 input shaft with 26. ive done some research and only confused myself and made myself indecisive. I have a couple of options i think.
option one is the H55 input shaft compatible with my H41. does it have 22 teeth? early H55 input shaft with same size seal/pre 86?
option two get a new H42 input shaft and countershaft and lose the lo first gear, i have a H42 so i could salvage the countershaft out of it if need be.
option three rebuild the H42 and splitcase
