HJ47 5 SPEED

I'm pretty certain the clutches are different. Part number is R282N for the 1979 HJ45 and R386N for the '84 HJ47. They changed early 1981. Don't know what differences.

thanks so much for that valuable info. did anyone have any thoughts about the diff. ratios.? IF THEY ARE OK WITH IT NOW THE 5 SPEED IS IN THERE

I had one of the very last 47's bought new in early 85, was 1/85 compliance, as has been said the 47's never had 5 speed or power steer from factory, not in Oz anyway.
Did think of fitting a 5 speed but sold it after few years and bought s/h 75 series, one of the silliest things I ever did.
The diff ratios will be ok with 5 speed AFAIK they stayed the same in the 75, 4.11 from memory.

Hi Peter, what was so silly with buying a 75 to replace earlier model??
Was it a bomb or a step down from previous one?

The 2H diesel in a 47 and the early 60 series (pre 1985) went much better than the 'same' motor in post 85 vehicles, apparently Toyota fiddled with the pump to meet emission laws o/seas and the later ones were never as good.
The 75 series was very tinny after the 47 and it literally fell apart body wise (A pillars, body mounts, guard cracks, firewall cracks etc etc. Admittedly it did some hard trips (CSR, Anne Beadell, Gunbarrel, Kimberleys, Simpson etc etc) but it was a 'softer ' vehicle. We mainly changed to get a 5 speed and power steering ;-)).
The older trucks were great to modify and fit things to, flat panels and very tough whereas anything since has got progressively more car like and nore orientated to bitumen than off road. Guess that's why I've got the Humvee ;-))
As far as the A/C goes "Bungalow" the 'factory' fitment was an underdash unit under the glovebox which then fed the centre HVAC unit. They came in a kit and I fitted two myself, one in a FJ45 and then another in the 47. I'd go looking at the wreckers and find the necessary bits.

Thanks Pete your a champion.and i agree with your thoughts on the 75 had a couple myself..
