SM420 with adapter for sale - pick up only in North West Arkansas
A SM420 4 speed (7.05:1 first gear) with a Land Cruiser transfer case adapter plate installed. It also comes with a bellhousing and starter for a small block Chevy. It was mated to my 10 spline stock 3 speed transfer case on one end and 350 on the other. I don't really know the condition of the transmission. I bought the FJ40, drove it home, and replaced the tranny with a NV4500 because of a whine and the dump truck feel (foot long throws) of the SM420--and I wanted an overdrive.
I replaced it with an overdrive transmission. Anyone is welcome to come over and look it over in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
It made the road trip from CO to AR just fine, but it did whine at speed (40-60 mph on 37's). After I went to the NV4500, I found out that it's mostly my transfer case whining (still does after a rebuild).
If nothing else, it would make a great tranny for a trailered rig that doesn't see high speeds.
$250 with the adapter, bellhousing, shifter, starter motor. Pickup only (I don't have time for freight shipping) in northwest Arkansas (Fayetteville).
