60s 5 speed into 45s

[4sum4]

Iv`e got the 5 speed up and almost in but came to a stop we can`t get it in any further in with about 35mm to go,Iv`e got longer bolts in to line it up and i no that the spline has to line up,were got 2 blokes at the back of the box and giving it heaps and the fly wheel spins easly.
Is there something were are doing wrong would pushing the clutch in help

put tailshaft in box ,put box in gear

twist shaft n push on the box to line the input shaft spline to the clutch

also make sure the box is square ,you can also GENTLY pull the box in by winding the bolts up IF the input shaft is locked in the clutch plate
make sure you pull it evenly

[plowy]

you did check the clutch plate on the input shaft spline didn't you ?

is it really necessary to put the rear tailshaft in??? I think if you had it in gear and just spun the output flange at the rear of the box, that would be sufficient.

Did you align the clutch plate/pressure plates correctly when installing them??? Might be slightly out and not allowing it to fit in correctly.

I know I had a bit of trouble when I had to do my rear main a few times in the 60. I had to give it some to get it in place, but then it just basically slipped right in once it aligned with everything perfectly.

yeah sorry late at night and wasn't thinking,was thinking of the tailshaft style that slips onto the rear output shaft /housing like on most of you 2wd drive cars ,

i got info, the 60 input shaft is a different spline to the original 40 4 speed so u need to change the clutch plate to suite

Only a quick check by eye ,was told by a few people they bolt up only mods are the shafts

[4sum4]

Just pulled the box back down and the splines are exactly the same guess some of the earlier types are differant
now at the Pub deal with it later,anyone with any other info

Thought this was the best place to ask instead of creating a new thread.
Will a 5spd from a 60 series with a 2F bolt up to a 40 series witha 2F?
Cheers

60 series 5 spd bolted straight up to my 83 HJ47 2H - previously 4 spd.

If the clutch is out of alignment too far then get wifey or mate to hold foot on clutch while attempting to put box in - of try to line it up by eye.

yes but it doesn't say whether the 5spd from the 60 was a petrol or diesel or whether your truck is petrol or diesel.

pretty sure the only differance with the diesel and petty is the bell housing set up clutch is on the other side

what are the shifter positions like from 60 to 40?
