does anyone know if the box from a 1fzfe 75 series will bolt up to a 3f? if not could it just be a matter of changing bellhousings?

thanks fellas!

No it wont, you'll need the 3f bellhousing for the h15x

So i can pull the bellhousing off a 3f box and put that on the 1fz box then? and then it all fits?

Yep, so long as it was an 80 series 3f not a 60/70.

Actually double check the box. there is the h151 and the h55f both with a 3f in front make sure to get the right bellhousing

right..

this is the scenario, I have a 1fz box, and a bloke with a 3f 80series wants to put it in his 80.

any idea where to find the code on the box?

thanks

Not sure if the code is on the box, but if it's a h55f it will have a shifting mechanism poking out of the top cover connecting to the 5th gear, in the seperate rear housing. the h15x does not have that.

So if you have a h15x all you need is a 3f bellhousing from an early 80 series and it will bolt straight on.

The FJ80 (3F) used the H150F box, the FZJ80 used the H151F box.

They should interchange / bolt in by swapping bell housings, but the input shaft will be wrong.
