Thread: A Few Unanswered Questions about FJ62

No I think you misunderstood the question. I didn't ask if I got the most bang for the buck or if you had 4k what would you do? I was wondering if 4k was a fair price to rebuild it. It has new front sprag, foward drum, direct drum, output shaft, converter and a couple other hard parts that I can't remember.

3000 miles = about 14 tanks of gas at about $55/tank. That's about $800 per month. Yikes.... m

I cant believe you paid $4K for a tranny fix!!! You could have bought a brand new one!! If I had $4K laying around I would have bought a used motor/tranny combo off of craigslist and had a motor swap done...

Welcome and congrats on your cruiser. I grew up rebuilding cars and trucks, but I always come to this site with questions. This site has saved me a lot of money. It sucks that the trans cost that much, but you now have a great running trans! Everything on my truck is a PROJECT, not a problem. Speedo - if you take the screws out of the dash cluster and tilt the top towards the steering wheel, you should be able to clip the cable back in. Make...
