Please help me to identify this transmission

[Richco]

Hello All,
Please help me to identify this transmission by l looking these pictures, transmission can not be shifted into the gears because it was left on the shelf for 16 years,I am posting some pictures here owner told me this is H55F transmission 5 speed,but I want to make sure if it is actually H55F.Thanks

Looks correct to me

From a either a 60 or 70 series with a B engine. Worth more if it was from a 40 series with the shifter more forward.
Looks to be from a LHD. Looking straight on for the front could probably tell if was was from either a 60 or 70 series. Does look 11/84 or newer.

Buy the product, not the story.

Since you can't shift it into gear, you have to treat that as a blown transmission that needs a rebuild.

Just sitting on a shelf shouldn't stop it from shifting IMHO, not saying the seller is lying, but clearly there is something to address.

Plan on worst case scenario for your $$$ so you don't get burned

Also, if LITP is correct, the input shaft may have to be changed to be compatible with whatever you are planning if it is not a B engine

Maybe you know that maybe not.

yes

Thanks a lot for reply.

Thanks a lot for reply.

This transmission was from a B engine,i am posting what seller told me about it.

I know that the trans shifters can get stuck between 2 gears, I think if the stick is removed it can happen, there are posts on this forum regarding this, a direct message to Georg at Valley Hybrids may help ( orangefj45 on this board )

Would not buy this without personal inspection. Could be something as simple as shift forks not in the correct grooves. Removing the top would also get an better idea of the condition of transmission. Unless the transfer case has been replaced should have a date code on it.

If it is from a BJ40, then it is the perfect box to bolt up behind a 15BFT in a 40. Grunty little suckers.

Doubt it is from a BJ40. Besides the wrong top cover on the H55F most were BJ42s by 10/82 when the H55F started. Few remaining BJ40s made after 10/82 were still four speeds. Also the bellhousing looks to be 11/84 plus. Haven't found any BJ4X listings for 11/82 plus.

I can't believe it won't shift gears just because it has been sitting on the shelf for 16 years. I've got gear boxes sitting in my shed for 30 years or more that work just fine. There's more to that story.

I am pretty sure something is not right with it,hopefully minor problem.

When I had my accident the transmission was struck in 4th. When I took it apart for the rebuild didn't see anything and was fine. But when assembling the thrust washer at the rear of the gear box would slip forward and lock everything up. I also found a synchro was slightly out of place that also caused it to lock up. I just used a screw driver to pop the synchro back into place. Try removing the top cover and look at the synchro's.

Sorry I meant BJ70.
