410 Gearboxes, differences and 4 to 5 speed conversions etc.

Post by ScottieJ » Thu Nov 10, 2011 12:27 pm

After a few people being interested in converting their 4 speed 410s to 5 speed I thought I'd do a bit of research into your options, this is a work in progress so until I have done more research I cannot Guarantee that all info is 100% correct but hopefully we can build up a good bit of info for anyone who wants to convert their 410 to a 5 speed. If you have any additional input, good photos of SJ gearboxes for comparison etc. then post them up so we can work out all the differences and see what is compatible.

Pre November 1984 sj410 gearboxes had a shorter tail section and longer input shaft, with these they locate into a bearing in the end of the crankshaft not into a bearing in the flywheel.

In November 84 that they swapped to the later 410 gearbox, essentially a hybrid 410/413 gearbox that uses a 410 bellhousing section and sj413 gears and tail section as well as a shorter input shaft, the shorter input shaft is located in a bearing in the flywheel (not in the crank like pre 11/84) with this they also changed the gearbox crossmember and the gear lever position ends up further back.

You can convert a 4 speed to 5 speed if you have a later 4 speed (Series 3/4/5 11/84 onwards) gearbox and a 1.3 5 speed gearbox. Take the case assembly, the upper and the lower, the input shaft and the input shaft bearing retainer of the SJ 410 and install the case extension, the forks and the rest of the gears from the Samurai gearbox. The hole in the floor needs extending about 1" and the crossmember mounting will also need attention as the Sammi gearbox is longer than the 1.0. Also the rear of the case needs some machining for a bearing for the 5th gear

Also bear in mind that post 88 samurai 5 speed boxes have a lower 5th gear.

I will take a pic of a 410 4 speed later when i'm in the workshop but here's a few pics to try and identify differences.

A good write up I just found using a Super Carry/Bedford Rascal 5 speed gearbox.

I think you need to join the LJ forum to see the thread?

That reminds me I never did take a pic of a 410 4speed for this thread, i'll do that today.

It's done:
The remodeling of my SJ410K with type1 / 2 gearbox and early Transferbox to 5-speed:
SJ410 1-2 early type transmission (with a long gear shaft + pilot bearing in the crankshaft) exchange
a 5-speed gearbox type 3-4-5-6-7 (with a short drive shaft + pilot bearing in the flywheel). The old clutch is in it, in conjunction with the release bearing of the late Gearbox.
An existing F8A or F10A flywheel will be turned out on my Lathe from 19.25 to 26mm to accommodate the original bearing 6000 2Z of the later models.

Image
The newly-built gearbox bracket left, SJ410Typ1 / 2, center, right from Type3
Image
and so does the holder assembled
Image
The old type 1/2 holder is eccentric as you can see
Image
The gear sits eccentrically at the factory to the frame. Therefore you have to install the new holder until a trial basis, measure, mark and drill holes for silent block then the holder
Image
The central bore of the smaller connecting plate is drilled 5mm eccentrically. So you can still install it in 4 positions for fine adjustment
Image
As above, the holder is attached with 8 bolts M8
Image
The new flange fit now to the transfer case
Image
Later T-Boxes have thicker shafts and bigger flanges, you can also not simply replace a T-Box when the hole pattern is not right
Image

Here we see that the silent block sits 5mm eccentrically
Image
And here is the holder assembled
Image
The gearbox is centered in the tunnel
Image
The propeller shaft is fairly straight on the transfer case and the flat iron for cross bracing I added spacers 15mm down
Image
Ready for a test drive
Image
So, after a visit to the Ederlake-meetings and daily drive to work, I'm pretty excited about the 5th gear. The 1st gear is slightly longer than the old gear. This could turn out in extreme terrain and alpine tours as a disadvantage. But that would still be adapted by other tires. The average consumption was 8 liters of Super 95 and top speed 119km / h at 5000rpm, according to Navigationsystem. I still have retreaded tire size 6.00-16 8PR not well balanced.

Thanks for the tutorial for getting a 5 speed in a type 2 Nepomuk.

I got as far as finding out I needed a different half-shaft then had to put the 4 speed back in because I needed it back on the road. Fortunately, you can leave the bearing in the flywheel when you put the 4 speed back in.

What did you do about the hole in the transmission tunnel?
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Hi Ed.
I had the big Hole in the Tunnel reduced with a screwed Metalplate. I just had to remove that plate and change the early Rubberpart to the late one. Years ago, this car had an accident and the preowner has cutted the Body around the floor and welded an LJ-Body onto the floor. It still has a 410Tunnel. I dont know what else he has changed.
I took the late 410-shaft (4+5 Speed BigTransmission=similar) and fitted the early 410-Flange on.
The early Gearbox uses "Bracket rear mounting 11740-80001.
The late Gearbox uses " Mounting Engine rear 11710-80000 or 11710-80010.
Both didnt fit, because also Frame is lightly different, so I had to made a new Bracket.
Best Regards

Nepomuk

I got some new Part Numbers and Info about 2 different SJ410 5-Speed Gearboxes
5th short 0,86
24351-60A00.......44 Teeth
24250-83010...... 25 Teeth
5th long 0,795 = (also used in SJ413/4 up to SJ413/7 + SK410)
24351-83000...... 44 Teeth
24250-83000.......23 Teeth
Both 44s are different Size
Look at the SJ410 5th in UK
5th Gear Top = 0,79

Santana Madrid Advert of 1988: SJ410 JX, VX, JHT have 5th with 0,86

and also in the SJ413 exist different ratios

I acquired sometime ago a SJ410 "F" (reg), (a special edition of some sort).
The body was scrapped but I keep various bits to keep my Jap 1988 "E" reg going.

That special edition SJ410 had a five speed box in it.
It has a part number on the gear box of: CA 24771-80400.
I am not sure of its state of health nor am I sure it will fit into my Jap 1987/88 SJ.
The over all dimensions look to be OK at first glance.

Firstly will it fit?
Secondly is it worth the exercise of doing it up as my four speed works well?

Hope someone can help me on this one.
Otherwise I may have a five speed box available for sale.

Roger.
