Topic: trouble with auto trans

[Ar89yota]

i had it rebuilt it screwed up and concerned about rebuilding again or swaping in a 5spd

wondering if marlin has any options to beef up my auto tranny

possibly a new tranny cooler iprefer auto

it is 22re 4cyl engine

[Ar89yota [OP]]

big mike tell me the best thing to do with my tranny i would like it to be tough as hell not so much for crawlin but for mud and deep water

[Ar89yota [OP]]

i feel like this particular tranny runs hot

now it wont even go in forward but the reverse is great

tired of going backwards

Honestly I have no advice.

We dont deal to much with 4cyl autos at all, in fact we dont offer anything for 4cyl autos.

Are you here in Fresno?

so what would be involved in putting a 5spd in
how much work and money
what about computers

I tried searching the Forums but I cant seem to find the post.
I know there is someone here who posted information on his conversion last summer. He will have all of the most direct answers.

But in general, you can still use the auto ecu you will just need to make the ecu think your aways in park, so the car will start, you wont be using any clutch start cancel.... hmmm

i appreciate you trying to help me massive mike i am in a deep rut here
what about the torque coverter youwere talking about * what kind how much

[BigMike]

I dont know. Try LC Engineering or Downey Off Road to see if they (or someone) offers an aftermarket torque convertor for the 4cyl Toyota Automatic transmission.

I hate to say it but it sounds like your trans is toast. If you get another auto  or yours rebuilt, yes, get a cooler! Since you hit the mud, consider remote mounting it behind the cab with it's own fan. I run a remote cooler and filter. My gauge still hits 300* on long mountain climbs so I've been eyeballing an old A/C condenser on my back porch.

you said it was rebuilt?how long ago..did you do the install or did the place that did the rebuild do the install?Is it possible the stock cooler is pluged..did who ever did the install flush the cooler lines?
Depending I would go beack to who did the rebuild or install..

dude where are you at in arkansas?  i am in arkadelphia.  i think Bill Chase in hotsprings may have a tranny for you
if you do the 5spd conversion he might have all the used parts you will need for that as well, he has more 4x4 toy parts than anyone i know here in arkansas

[Ar89yota [OP]]

Texarkana, i'm gonna se if i can get a hold of billchase, i started pulling out my old tranny last night and will have it out this evening in desperate need of parts and good tranny

[79coyotefrg]

i am sure Bill has everything you need,including the clutch linkage and pedal

i need to get up there and get a taillight lense and a tailgate latch
