a friend of mine just blew up his auto trany in his 87- 4runner. its a 4cyl. auto. rebuild is out of the question,(too much money)trying to find a used one for cheep is almost as hard. is there any other trany he can use other than the toy one. i know we can change to a standard trany or change the motor for a 4.3 and chevy auto but i wanted to know what other options we could try. he wants to stay with the auto, i was just wondering if you could adapt some thing else.

When my auto tranny went out in my '86 4Runner, I replaced it with an A304F auto tranny out of a '97 toy. I bought it off of ebay for something like $400 including shipping. There are a lot more of the newer trannies out there than there are the older ones.

The great thing about the A340F is that the t/c is detachable! With an adapter plate from Marlin, you can install a gear driven t/c with lower gears! I run an auto tranny with 4.7 reduction gears. It's great!
