Transfer Case Linkage Question (1 Viewer)

[DoubleNickels]

Still chipping away at the tranny conversion on my FJ62, ditching the auto and going to a late model (long) 4 speed. I believe I am missing at least 2 bushings where the transfer linkage attaches to the manual transmission. Anything else that goes here? Seems an awfully long stud...

Note this is for a vacuum actuated split case. You can see I'm preparing to shorten the rod length, really in the home stretch of this conversion. Thanks for the help.

Wondering if there are two stud lengths that came from Toyota, the long one accommodates the manual 4WD engagement as it has another linkage? If that's the case, sure looks like I need a short one? Just a guess.

Should be able to pull the mounting stud off of the automatic and swap it to the 4 speed. They are definitely different lengths. The vacuum shift shifter stud being the shorter.

Thanks. I'll put some feelers out in the Classifieds, see if I can find that post. Worst case scenario I guess I could fabricate a spacer of sorts.

Found a couple photos of mine...

Auto trans/vacuum shifter mount:

Manual shift linkage mount (much wider attachment on the shift linkage):

The auto is long gone and that post went with it. Dang.

Appreciate the pics.

Reach out to any of the major builders here that do these swaps...Georg, Trail Tailor, etc.... bet they have a pile of old autos sitting there.

Thanks again! I also posted a want ad, but I'll follow your rec.

Wanted - Transfer Linkage "Post" (Lever Pivot)

Hey MUD. I need the post shown below - it forms the main pivot point for the split case H-N-L lever (vacuum actuated 4WD). Swapping from Auto to 4-speed in my FJ62 and, sadly, I failed to pull that part before the auto went to the scrapper. I'm thinking/hoping these exist in abundance as most...

@NCFJ may have one lying around from doing engine swaps
