Hey skootin. MANY THANKS for all your suggestions. Clearly, you must be very experienced with Landcrusiser (split-or more) transfer cases. I was incorrect earlier when I said that the HJ60 was a 1986. Certainly was on the registration disc, but manufactured in Sept. 1985. I will check out the ...

Hi. Thanks skootin for your response and information. I thought the earlier shaft was of the order of around 4mm smaller than the larger (from memory), although all here are 34mm, even the September 1985 (HJ60) transfer case. I haven't counted the number of teeth in the transfer cases but I will do ...

Hi again. My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been away for nearly a week, unexpectedly. It wasn't my intention but things got away from me. Hi hulsty, and thanks for your reply. Sure, I am aware of this, but my question was more along the lines of, apart from input shaft, are there any ...

Hi again. Well, I have managed to get an H55f (5-speed) gearbox/transfer case with the appropriate gearbox lid (to suit a 1981 BJ42 SWB) within Australia this week. My question now is, perhaps, more easily answered. I have one H55f gearbox/transfer case from a 1985 BJ73, one H55f gearbox from a 1986 ...

Hi skootin. Thanks for your e-mail. Clearly, the bell-housing and input shaft need match; that was always the plan. I have a feeling that the (H55F 5-speeder) gearbox input shaft/cluster gear is probably in better condition than my original (H41 4-speeder) equivalent, thus I would lean toward this ...

Hi HJ 45. Thanks for your response. Makes very interesting reading. OK, I have no problems in this regard, as, clearly, I have both bell-housings. Interestingly, I have measured both bell-housings (under the car - so, slightly less than perfectly) and there appears to be a slight difference in bell ...

By coincidence, I bumped into someone who owns a 1983 5-speed factory fitted BJ42. Had a measure underneath. Seems that the dimension of his bell housing/gearbox/transfer case is 765mm in total length. The one I acquired from the BJ73 is 745mm or thereabouts, so pretty much, same in length but ...

Hi again. Thanks to both RAY185 and hotgemini for their responses. To RAY185, problem is much more to do with ensuring that the longer gearbox (somewhere between 95 and 100mm) will fit in inside the (small) space between the existing transfer case and the welded cross member immediately behind, as ...

Hi again. MANY thanks for the two responses to my initial question. To Adam, thanks for suggesting it should be pretty straightforward - I felt similarly. I live in Adelaide, but that is not a problem. (Freight is actually quite cheap - I use Hunter Express). I am unsure here; can I leave my e-mail ...

Hi. I have a Dec 1981 BJ42, 4-speed (H41 gearbox). I bought a BJ73 vehicle (cheap - rusty) and would like to swap the 5-speed (H55F gearbox - from a May 1985 BJ73) to my BJ42. In principle, I know that this has been done previously. I acknowledge that I will have to remount the gear lever, and ...
