I finally got the '78 FJ40 on the road! I drove it home from the shop yesterday after the Flowmaster muffler was installed. The 4 speed tranny has quite a loud whine to it. My brother said it didn't make any noise when he parked it 2 years ago.The local shop wrench seems to think it just has some surface rust in the tranny from sitting and it may work itself out. Tranny fluid checks fine. Is there any additive that may help me out or just keep driving it and see...Maybe change gear lube?
This was it's first road trip of approximately 5 miles.
