tell me if im incorrect but it looks like what your trying to do is just see if a forward shift will work in your 99 A340F so the shifter can clear the body, correct? it looks like all you'll need to do is just find a forward shift t-case and throw it in there (allowing you to not have to cut the floor) that or mod the top shift rails turning them into forward shift rails in the last picture so you can throw on a base plate and have the shifter there. (then youd have to find another plate for the actual case) my question is about the first picture, why dont you just cut the floor back a little bit and run it like that then it would allow you to run a tranny thats 5 years newer. hopefully this doesnt sound confusing, i think ive almost confused myself.
You are right, but it is not a newer truck (it's a 1998). The 4-cyl forward shift tcases have a different input shaft (spline count) than the 6-cyl tcase (26 vs 23) Basically, the forward shift tcases can only bolt up to a 4cyl 4x4 A340F trans. So far, this workaround is looking better all the time
I know that Marlin specializes in manual trannies, but hoped that someone here had some pics or...
I can't use the 04 Trans due to the electronic throttle-by-wire issue.
By the way, I am on the hunt for a portion of the tcase wiring harness - for the three position sensors back to the ECU
PSS - That 04 trans and tcase is for sale
54,000 miles
PSSS - I think I understand what you are saying re the shift rails. Would like to see an exploded view diagram (can't find anything in the FSM hosted at the NCTTORA site) of the assy - At least that would give me some part numbers to work with. Toyota parts has suggested that I obtain a VIN from a 4cyl 4x4 automatic.
