Hey'all I'm working an a transmission swap. The truck is a 1992 V6 Xtra cab. The original transmission was a A340E. The new transmission is a W59. Currently I'm waiting on a bell housing to come in. I have: the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, throw out (release) bearing, and clutch release fork. I'm shopping for: the master/slave cylinders, clutch pedal, and hydraulic line. The clutch master needs to be for a '92, and the slave needs to be for a Tacoma (whatever had the W59).
Here's what I need to sort out: I know the intermediate shaft of the driveline will need to be lengthened. If I use a spacer, the transmission mount will need to move forward. The other option is to either have the driveline's intermediate shaft lengthened (that's the part in front, between the carrier bearing and the tranny) or buy one that will fit. I don't know if there is one out there from another truck that is the correct size. The truck's computer will be looking for the shift solenoids, so something will need to be done about that. Perhaps, it'll need some resistors in place of them, or I'll replace the ECU. Is there an ECU? If so where is it? I know the safety switch needs to be in "Park" or "Neutral" and left plugged in.
Please chime in with suggestions. Also, I have not been able to locate any posts on-line that address this specific swap, so please post links if you know of one. Cheers, folks!
