Flash Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I know that a lot of the older manual Toyota gearboxes like the W and G series have bell housings that can be swapped out to suit a particular Toyota engine. Do the auto gearboxes like the A43D and A44DL have the same ability ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant swap between the Axx series and A3xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Thanks for that. Would it be possible to put a A series auto box behind an engine that previously ran a G series manual gearbox ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 If Toyota made that engine family with the auto than yes. Its a fully hydraulic trans so is easy to swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Yeah what engine etc. Some will be harder to track down a bell-housing that others. People threw away the A43 etc autos like crazy but they are pretty good units, a overdrive and lockup version without computer control being the holy grail.

Flash Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Thanks fellas. The engine I want to put it behind is a Toyota 3Y out of a mid '80s HiAce van. According to some info I found on The Google it looks like these vans were equipped with either a A44DL or a A45DL. The box was top hung in the vans. @Spencer I seem to recall that you are Brissy based - correct em if I'm wrong. If you know of any available units in the Brissy area, please let me know.

Spencer Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Not many 80's auto hiaces around anymore. Best bet to just hit-up and call every wrecker in Australia that has old shit. All of them will have done 300,000km Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 L300s had the same trans as well so if you find a fucked Toyota one you can just swap bellhousings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
