tranny hump dimensions

[bobbin]

I have a 70 FJ-40 and I am converting from the 3-sp column shift to a 4-sp floor shift. I have been searching to find the location and dimensions of the openings I will need in the tranny hump to make this work but have not been able to find them. Would anyone have this information or be able to point me to a location where I can find it. Thanks.

I did the same thing and got a nice result by...


-removing the shifter cane from the top plate
-smear a nice ring of grease on the top plate ring that surrounds the cane
-carefully lay the hump into place and it will transfer a nice little circle where you will use a bi-
metal holesaw to make the opening

Good Luck

Thanks for the idea. Do you also have the shifter for the transfer case? Did you just measure distances from transmission shifter?

Sorry I can't help with measurements because I swapped again to a 4 speed/Orion, but once you cut the transmission shifter hole, you can measure and start with a small hole and work your way larger....that's what I did.
