I asked this question in the newbie section and no one replied. Hoping you guys can help me with a link or something.
Today I got under my truck to find out what tranny it has in it. Its a
30-80LE/A340. It is taged 30-80LE but i have come to find out that its the same thing a A340 is. My tranny will NOT shift on its own. I have to up and down shift myself. If i leave it in 3rd it will stay in 3rd even if the truck is stoped. My truck is a 84 toyota that someone put on a IFS frame near as i can tell. It has a 22R carb motor thats blown.
I'm going to pick up another 22R and I hope to keep this tranny. Anyone know if its not shifting because its not pluged into any sort of computer? It shifts really firm and quick, if i'm shifting it myself. So my questions are
1. If i need a computer to get it to shift who makes a system to use for this tranny.
2. Any 22R will bolt up to the bell housing right?
3. How strong is this tranny? I only have 33s and don't really mud i just want something that holds up.
I would like to keep a auto. My Z28 is a 6 speed and i want something the wife can drive in the winter. She will not drive my Z because its a 6 speed.
Thanks for any info you may have.
This was some more info I found after i wrote this.
I swear i'm not getting any closer to understanding this truck then i was 30 hours of research ago. On this side http://www.fourwheeler.com/techarticles/129_0207_case/
it says if I have 7 bolts in the Tcase its a gear drive and if I have 5 its chain.
Everything I read on the forums autos arn't used with the gear drives. it shifts from 2wd to 4wd on the driver side of the case if this helps at all.
