Re: Transmission Options
Why did this thread die?!?!
It takes more fossil fuel resources to produce new vehicles than it would take to maintain and fuel any 70's or 80's vehicle for a million miles.

Re: Transmission Options
I bought my spare JDM tranny from Soshin in CA a few years ago...same place i got the 1N-T diesel also. i think i paid like $400 including shipping.. same deal, should only have around 50k on it. I didnt even need it but i have it as a spare. The shifter points towards the passenger side, but im sure can be replaced with the US one...and there is another hole for the clutch cable so all that needs to be done is it moved to the US side. The trans arrived in decent shape...aside from a few of the switches/sensors on it being smashed...the engine i ordered from them appeared to have been dropped or had the oil pan jabbed with a forklift...so they arent terribly careful with the stuff when they eviscerate them and throw the engines/trannys on a ship over here...

Re: Transmission Options
That JDM was a 2wd?

Re: Transmission Options
No, the one i bought was a 4x4 6 speed exactly like US ones. just set up for right hand drive...which can be easily changed to left hand/US.

Re: Transmission Options
No shit! now I'm interested!
But in the case of us 87/88 SR5 owners this JDM source is irrelevant, yes?

Re: Transmission Options
87-88 doesn't matter, but I don't think JDM stuff are available now.
