For Sale NJ….60 Series 4 speed transmission and split transfer case (3 Viewers)

[knuckle47]

Vehicle Model

1. 60 Series

Thru a series of events, the buyer of my transmission/transfer case discovered he can not directly swap this into his 1970’s FJ40. He was going to buy it anyway to re-sell honoring his decision to acquire the unit. I am not …nor is he the kind to play one way or the other

SO….the 1983 60 series trans/transfer case is again for sale. From my untrained eye, it feel as solid as new. PM and questions . Will edit to add photos Thursday afternoon after 2pm 8-14-25. Will ship, pallet freight or what ever you may prefer

$400

Why couldn't he put it in his 40? Shifter hole? Parking brake?

I heard output shaft is different…

The outputs are different and you can’t just mount a drum break on them like the early four speeds with the early cases.

Sure you can, just not cheap

How ? Obviously change the shaft, but I’m unaware of a bolt on drum brake option.

There is a rear output seal housing but its rare and $$$. If you move to a parking brake on the axles (say a disc conversion with parking brake calipers), one on the t case would be redundant.

Is this the shorter split case to 4 speed combo that is the length of the early 40 series 4 speed, or the one with the longer housing material at the t case interface of a similar form factor to the H55? Im guessing the second option since its from a 60, but I dont know 60s that well.

Interesting, I thought it was a different output shaft to make this work. I have two split cases with drums and for some reason I thought changing out the shaft was required on top of the drum brake and housing . Had no idea you could just change the rear output seal housing.

I don't know all the bits that are involved but there are 19 spline drums. Actually it does look like youd need the longer output shaft, so you are correct. My understanding is the bearing retainer is the rare part. Kurt posted a photo of it on another thread... moving the e brake to the rear axle may be the easier route.

Correct, the split case parking brake output shaft is longer. They are readily available new (through me or other vendors) and are not difficult to change.
I also sell the drums and manufacture billet replacement of the bearing retainers.
Only used part needed is the backing plate which is the same as single piece transfers

Ok ,so it’s not just the drum it’s the normal stuff we import from Patrick. Your original comment made me think there was a different way to do this conversion but it’s the same ole swap to get a drum on the back. Patrick can get the housing and drums from overseas and if I remember Georg had the shafts remand or maybe there are still NOS shafts laying around. I remember Patrick couldn’t get his hands on any new shafts a few months back.

The shafts are readily available, not OEM but high quality Japanese supplier. Happy to sell you just an output shaft or complete kit if you want.
