A340-F auto trans + tcase & shift kit for 5VZ-FE

A340F Transmission with transfer-case + new Transgo shift kit installed. 102000 miles
170000 kms
30-40LE 35000/3D550 Aisin 8980 12 serial:96LR48036 Bell: VZ 8936 Case: 30-80 8980 Adapter: 6-1/4" Valve body: top 8930 bottom 8931 3 sol Cheese plate: 87 23 splines
Purchased in prep for supercharging my truck, added a shift kit, then I thought the 97 trans was incompatible with my 2001.
I was wrong, fits any 95-2002 Tacoma, you just need to swap sensors.
Don't have the supercharger now so don't need the trans upgrade, $600USD OBO

Also that’s an A340F. 30-40LE is just the transmission body code.

 

I saw this earlier; one thing concerned me was the statement about it being different from the '97.

Too rich for my blood anyway

 

It should work, I’m not entirely sure why it doesn’t work for his truck. The only difference is for 2003-2004 witch the ETCS-I electronic throttle.

 

I'm not entirely sure of the differences between 97/01 but when I compared the electrical connections to mine, one of them was different and also the valve body was different, didn't want to pay a mechanic to swap it out and find out it won't work.

 

Thanks for the info

 

One of the electrical connectors was different and the valve body was different. It may still work but I don't want to pay a mechanic to pull my trans and then find out this one won't work.

 

Yeah mine was different too. You just have to swap the sensors. I’m using a 1999 transmission on my 1998. It works fine.

 

If anyone on here knows more about trans compatibility I would appreciate some help. My 2001 Tacoma:

• 30-40LE 35000/3G110 Aisin 8980 23 serial#: OOKR 40938
• Bell: VZ,8925 Case: 30-80,8980 Adapter: 5-1/2" Valve body: 8938 8938 3 sol Cheese plate: C8 23 splines

97 trans:

• 30-40LE 35000/3D550 Aisin 8980 12 serial:96LR48036
• Bell: VZ 8936 Case: 30-80 8980 Adapter: 6-1/4" Valve body: top 8930 bottom 8931 3 sol Cheese plate: 87 23 splines

 

Why did you need to swap the transmission?

 

Ok, that's good to know, different valve body shouldn't matter I guess.

 

I wanted to install a shift kit to prep for supercharging, thought it would be better to have a trans with 170000kms instead of 380000kms

 

Are you in Canada?

 

No it doesn't matter. In my most educated opinion, that transmission will work fine in your truck. The sensor that doesn't fit is most likely a redundant temperature sensor that will easily swap over from your other transmission.

 

Yes I'm in British Columbia Canada, that's why I use kilometers, lol

 

That's good to know, if no one purchases it I will get it installed this spring, it was hard to find definitive info on compatibility online, thanks for your help.

 

Weird question, is your cluster in KM instead of Miles?

 

As long as you don't use the 2003/2004 transmission with the ETCS-I electronic throttle system, that trans will work totally fine for you.

 

It has both, Km are larger mph are smaller and in the middle of the gauge

 

Thanks for the info, now I just need to purchase a blower and I'll be set.
