My 2nd hand 5 speed in my cruiser is in need of a bit of a freshen up before the certifier gets in an gives it death :lol: sounds like someone stuffed an angry cat in there :lol:

So my question is for those who've rebuilt one of these boxes before where did you get your bearings/kit from? I will try bnt skf saeco etc but....

Im not 100% on what the box is out of. It is a course spline h55f but its got a manual transfercase so im guessing it may be out of an early fj60? but given I dont have a model to work with BNT or toyota wont want to help me :roll:

Ill be starting on removing an stripping it tomorrow so if anyone can shed some light on this for me Id appreciate it :D

Itll be out of a petrol 60series they had coarse spline and manual transfer, the 70series has the vacuum transfer.

Yeah thats what I thought the h series an later fj60 had the vacuum transfer cases so I thought this was either an early fj60 one or someone had put a 40 series manual case on it for some reason :lol:
Ill try Don Kyatts tomorrow cheers mudlva
