Re: TH700 and FJ40 SWB Question

Mate i used to have a V6 T700 in my shorty. I have since put in a V8 version. The torque convertor is way too small to handle the torque of the V8. I completely stuffed the convertor in mine. So I now have a strengthened stallie in my shorty.

Re: Marks adaptors

I have a T700 with a 60 series transfer case. I rebuilt the auto & transfer case last year & it was the first time a spanner had touched them since the car was built 7 or 8 years ago & they were still nice & tight. I will get under it now just to check now though.

The old output shaft was a Marks item ...

I have sold a few dual mass to standard conversions but from memory they were nissan patrol ones, it's been a while since one came through our shop. So might be worth a look, however it's not an option for all vehicles fitted with dual mass gear.
