Re: 80 series comp truck gearbox issues
Try changing the cup and seat on the gearstick. Cheap and easy if your gearstick flops around in gear this will fix it.

Re: advancing timing
Pinging - Detonation will cause broken rings and damaged big end bearings in the long term or short term if excessively bad if not corrected.
If you can set the static timing at 10-12 it should be fine. Or advance it slowly with the engine running till you hear the revs pick up a little.

Re: 304 V8 Flywheel - still used with auto conversion
Maybe try and find a H/duty flex plate they are made from thicker steel.
Or get a ring made similar to a beadlock outer and bolt it thru the original torque converter holes to stiffen a std flexplate.
Its only purpose would be for the starter motor right.

Re: 4-speed-5speed GEARBOX SWAP on BJ42
The "breather tube" is there for when the seal went hard and the gearbox started pumping oil into the transfer it's a cheap easy fix instead of replacing the seal. If you decide to refit the hose it wont cause any problems and might save your gearbox in a few years.

Re: Hj61 hf55 Vs Hj60 hf55
There is no difference in the 5spd gearing. Yes the tyre size or diff ratio will have an effect on the speedo and therfore the tacho.
2100 does seem very low for 100kph unless you had a very tall tyre or your speedo had issues. Pretty sure my 80ser sits on 2400 @ 100kph.

Yeah the change could be 10/85. The most common worn part is the HIGH speed gear on the output shaft and the selector sleeve as 99% of the time your in High range. Check the output shaft to, Also the idler gear wears on the inside were the roller bearings run and the idler shaft itself.

Re: 4-speed-5speed GEARBOX SWAP on BJ42
Early t/fer has a 34mm idler shaft and the later is a 38mm i think the change is in 1985. There is also a change in the gears only number of teeth and the idler is obviously different to suit the larger shaft.

Re: 4-speed-5speed GEARBOX SWAP on BJ42
The bellhousing must match the input shaft length. The problem HJ45 is referring to is the angle of the gearbox mounting holes in the bellhousing toyota decided to lower the transfer to get better driveshaft angle.
You may need to mix n match bits. The finished product will be worth the effort but.
