Oh yea the old girl is better than ever. I had the week off for next week but a friend needs me to rebuild a motor
Lol after playing in the rocks for 20 years, the old mini hands down is the best I ever had. Lol I dont know of a single other rig that i can do RC in while eating a samich in one hand an a Pepsi in the other. I miss the old 62 as the daily family hauler. Cant beat them for that.

good job... don't you love the feeling of accomplishment. 
I am still ecstatic. What he didn't tell you is that we finally got the T-case back together on Thu night and realized we had a shim and an O-ring left over. I went home that night and went through the schematics and found that the shim was Step #1 and the O-ring was Step #5, so on Friday, we had to completely disassemble and rebuild it. The "new" transmission is much stronger and smoother. She'll go 80 without a shimmy. I have a few bugs to fix, but otherwise couldn't be happier.
Thanks again Johnny!
Thanks again Johnny!
The help and advice members of this club give is worth countless multiples of what I pay for dues. Congrats on a job well done!
It might be worth the time to add an aux transmission cooler. The FJ80s (same A440F trans) have one and according to anecdotal evidence on the Yahoo 3FE email list this may be the reason they rarely lose the transmission early while the FJ62s tend to die young, particularly in hot climates and/or with a heavy load. IIRC, a cooler from an FJ80 or FZJ80 should be a bolt-in fit if the captured nuts are sitting in front of the rad--might want to search the 3FE archives, it's been a while since I've been on there.
She has a cooler and I made sure to blow it out before reassembly
. I think that the wear on the output shaft caused a lot more fatigue on the system than it was designed for. after seeing the damage done, it's easy to see why the tranny failed. the interesting thing is how good of shape some of the components are. i can't wait to crack open the transmission and see what's inside and rebuild her.
