Same here. Just got my TC rebuilt and "newer" trans put in. Trans shifts like butter now, but still getting the clunk in reverse even with the long spline from I got. Going to try greasing everything today.My 62 has a very hard clunk when I put it in reverse, it’s shifts into gear hard enough that the whole vehicle will lurch backwards sometimes. Doesn’t do it in drive. The transfer case and transmission were rebuilt very recently and it hasn’t made it go away.
Good luck!
Says he already has the long spline gear in the tcaseThe shifting "clunk" in the fj62 is generally caused by wear on the output shaft of the transmission where it goes into the transfer case. 30+ years of engaging in Reverse and Drive with the auto trans. wears the splines and there is now slack between the shaft splines and t-case gear splines.
There is a t-case gear known as the McNamara gear that has a longer inner spline body that engages fresh untouched splines on the output shaft. Makes everything tight again, "clunk" eliminated.
There may also be slack in the 30+ year old rear end that is amplifying the issue.
Thanks. I had my TC rebuilt and got a long spline shaft installed. Drove her about 80 miles today. Drove great until I idled for 5-10 minutes with my AC on and my engine damn near lost all power. Barely made it home. Going to look for some vacuum leaks, clean throttle body, basically give it all a good look over.The shifting "clunk" in the fj62 is generally caused by wear on the output shaft of the transmission where it goes into the transfer case. 30+ years of engaging in Reverse and Drive with the auto trans. wears the splines and there is now slack between the shaft splines and t-case gear splines.
