    I saw one abandoned in a Sears auto center parking lot, which was also abandoned.

    There was a whole transmission sitting in the back seat. Guess the guy never paid his bill.

    Saw two guys trying to shove an engine hoist into the backseat of their JDM RHD Toyota Chaser Mark II at Harbor Freight. Pretty cool.

    Yes but it was still the same trans setup. It’s a good transmission. It’s also known as the aw4 in the jeeps

    Clutch pack count is the only difference I’ve known of. And gear ratios.

    You can rebuild the a340 to 343 specs. At least from what my trans guy says he’s done.

    It’s practically the same trans with a different gear ratio that was better for the turbo

    I keep debating the manual route. But the only numbers matching part left on my truck is the trans!
