Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey, running a Chev 307 in my FJ and have since rooted the 5 speed gearbox thats in there. Needs replacing just want to confirm what gearbox it has. Any help welcomed.

looks like a h55f tranny out of a late 40s havent seen many with a probshaft mounted handbreak plenty of them around but

the split transfer with h/brake came out on late model 40 45 and 47's with a four speed i think but I thought once they went to five speed the h/brake was on the rear wheels

If its your gearbox that is stuffed a 5 sp out of a 60s or 75s bolt on your transfer and shifter cover if it isnt the same. if its the tranny then a 40s one will bolt on if you cant rebuild.

its a h55f with split transfer. depending on what top plate it has ( where the shifter sticks out at the top) would tell you if it was the origional h55f that came in the 47/40/42 series ( this is GOOD/valuable) of if its a box from a different series cruiser for instance, 60-70 series. essentially they are the same BAR the top plate.

the transfer you have is also rarer/ more valuable with the handbrake drum on a split case.

the shorties did not come with a split case and a handbrake, the utes did.

the 5 speed is from 60 or 75 series

the transfer case is from 47 series
