Brians F/R Locked Long Travel Camping and Overland Build

Right yeah idk they tend to fluctuate a lot it seems.

 

More beef

 

I just removed my transmission and don't remember it being particularly difficult to get to the torque converter bolts.

 

It’s just awkward trying to reach up in there

 

Was able to lay some beads tonight

 

I remember the front subframe being in the way not the diff. Are you saying if the diff wasn’t there that I’d have a straight shot above the subframe with an extension to get to the torque converter bolts?

 

No you reach up by the oil pan and put reach in with a ratchet.

 

Anybody used partcycle.com before? This 55K $1070 6 month warranty tranny with free shipping seems like a good deal. Would appreciate if someone would double check me before I order, make sure I’m not missing anything important lol

That looks good, low miles too. Mine had about the same mileage

 

Only worried about rust since it’s from MA but the salvage truck looked good, I’ll make sure to get some pics before it’s shipped. It says it doesn’t come with linkage but I would assume I just use the linkage from my current transmission

 

Yes you would, the A750f is the same trans as your current one just with the Tcase adapter on the end. Everything will plug in like OEM.

 

I could be wrong. Bought the kit on a hunch the shifter ball would fit in the socket on the FJ base plate. Quick measuring they’re the same. I guess time will tell! Yea it’s the same shift pattern, it’s really only the lever that I changed, everything else is the same. I’ll pull the shifter when I install and post some pictures.

 

Nice, order placed. All that is left now are the driveshafts and a big order of small seals and bolts lol

 

I would just take your prerunner shaft to a shop and have them cut it.

 

Where did you go and how much was it?

 

Kurt's Truck & Parts Co, 728 31st St N, Birmingham, AL 35203 $95 bucks. They did a great job.

 

Once you get the Tcase in you need to measure the distance from flange to carrier bearing. The rear stays the same. I would tell you mine but im not sure if its the same since we have different transmissions

 

Much cheaper than I thought. I’ll prob do that then so I won’t have to mess with the carrier bearing. I bought a front shaft for $105, very little rust. Rear shafts look to be going for $400!!

 

Make sure it wasn't from a manual there's a difference in length.

 

The website made sure I selected every trim level, it said automatic.
