Topic: adaptor plate

[surfindave]

Ok
I found out that my A343F auto tranny has the same transfer case as the r150f manual same bolt up pattern from what i kan gather the spline is a 23.
Do you sell a adapptor plate so i can put the gear case on.
Ive looked at advance adaptors and there plate is 50-5707.
The A 343F auto is a divorceable auto and has 9 bolts that bolt it too the housing between the auto and transfer case .
any help appreciated
Also what will i need besides the case apart from the gears lol.
Thanks Dave

[yotaboy79]

that would be a good question for marlin, im shure that he would also know of any other companys that would sell the adapter, good luck, and happy hunting.

[84runner]

Well if it's the same as th 150 trans than Marlin has an adapter for u

[Marlin]

The AA plate would bolt to the auto trans but the supplied coupler would not work on a auto application.

The auto transmission uses a rifle drilled output shaft to oil the rear transmission output bearing.
For the auto application, I modifly my coupler to also oil the rear factory bearing and because I use a thicker than stock coupler, I also supply a new rear output bearing.

I designed the plate for AA but later made my own using 6061 T6 billit for strength and a stronger coupler from my gear cutter in Japan.

You must use a top shifting t-case from a 79-83, or 85-88efi with a 23 spline input gear.

Give us a call

Hey Marlin
You have me all confused now lol.
So is what you are saying is that there is no way i can use this adaptor or 1 of your daptors to whak a gear driven case behind my auto .
I need a low range gearing man u gotta help me out .I need everything if you have it.
Dave

[84runner]

No it won't work on an auto cause the out put shaft is rifle drilled and I guess that adapter won't except that cause it uses a different rear out put  bearing, than the standard tranny that the adapter was made for. Well that's what I got out of it

[surfindave [OP]]

SPEW SPEW AND DOUBLE SPEW
Im not very happy now .
So what kan i do to get my crawl ratio i cant go higher than 5.71 diffs i need a auto tranny because i broke my neck and cant use me left arm to well.
Damn surely there must be sumthing that u can do Marlin im sure you can i know you kan lol.
Spewn bigtime
Dave

[Marlin]

surfindave, sorry for the confusion

I beleive you have a 89-95 22r efi 4x4 auto trans with a 9 bolt chain driven t-case?

I have updated my orginal post.

We have the adapter you need in stock

Marlin

[surfindave [OP]]

Yeah Baby  
Thats what i wanted too hear lol.
What i have is a 1992 turbo diesel auto very unusual over there in the states i believe.
I hope it is the same? isthere anyway i can tell if the bolt pttern would be the same ill try and remove the case and take some measurements of the bolt pattern and see exactly what spline is on the output shaft.What do you mean by getting oil to the output gear ?My auto doesnt share they oil with the transcase.Maybe im just stupid tho bein an aussie and all lol.
as long as you can supply me with all the gears and adaptor and output gear ill buy it lol.
How much would you charge for a whole setup including the transfercase and adaptor and 4.71 gears.
That way u just send it and i bolt it no problemos lol.
Thanks again
Dave
Ps if this works out and mine goes well we might have a few more orders coming your way we cant get jack from your distributor over here they not very helpfull         hopefully you can sell to me direct Please.

[84runner]

I thought you had an adapter that would work Marlin, but I thought you said in your second post that you don't. I guess I miss under stood ya. Sorry

[Marlin]

We only got the turbo diesel 4x4 for one year--1985, and i think i have only ever seen two?
Stateside, the diesels were very poor sellers.

Your auto trans will have a factory aluninum adapter bolted to the back of the trans housing and then there must be 9 external bolts that holds the chain driven t-case to the adapter.

You will not have any oil lines or an external oil cooler on your front right hand drive t-case.

I do not need any measements. If you can find the 9 bolts than the output shaft would be the V6 23 spline type.

You are correct, yout truck does not share the oil between the trans and t-case.

From the factory, the trans output shaft is rifle drilled so oil can get to the rear output bearing. This requires a special modification to my coupler so the trans oil does not get into the t-case but still oils the rear bearing.

The auto adapter with special coupler and oversize bearing is $449.00 US.
I will need to get Dave to give me a price on the rest.
I will post the total Monday PM.

[surfindave [OP]]

Hey thanks Marlin
I have definately got the 9 bolts just went and checked again and there is no oil cooler as you say .
Cant wait for the price.
I have a question about the 4.7 gears in the transcase im trying to get a solid axle swap done here in aus and it a bit difficult with the transport department i have to have permision before i can do the swap and they wont allow it yet!!!.
How will the 4.7 gears go with the IFS setup is there anyone out there runing these with the IFS.Or will it blow the cvs etc.
I will suceed in getting the swap just will have to go to the top lol,
Thanks Dave

[Marlin]

We have customers running 4.70's in a ifs truck, they just have to drive it easier and remember to try to keep your tires straight ahead when you get it on so it will be easier on the cv joints.

How many other A343F's do you have over there?
Are they very common?

I have only seen 2 over here, and one of them already has a Marlin dual case installed.

There are heaps of toyotas with the A343F autos here.
The 4runner that was a grey import to australia came with the A343F while the aussie 1 came with the A340h the imported runners outnumber the 1s toyota brought in by 2:1 so they are very popular here because of the diesel auto.
The landcruiser Prado the model that replaced our 4 runner also has the A343F auto on both the petrol and diesel variants .
The prado is probarbly the biggest seller in the medium class 4wd .
So as you can see we have heaps of A343F autos here im talking heaps toyota is the most popular 4wd in Aus.
Cool im glad some 1 does it with ifs cant wait to hit the trails over here .
You may want to tell your aussie distributor about the adaptor ,although all the A343F trucks have ifs and they only like the solid axle trucks dont like us ifs people but you have to go where the mass is i believe.
We also have heaps of the r150f manuals in the 4runner imports and the Prado so there is another market your distributor is not hitting on your behalf.
Sorry to bag them but they are not very freindly to 4runners with ifs or any1 that has the ifs .
If this works well for me maybe we kan look at opening a market here for all the ifs a343fs man youd make a killin.

Hey Marlin
Have you been able to come up with a price for me yet???
I want the adaptor plate to suit the auto
the special coupler and oversize bearing
the transcase fitted with 4.7 gears
I also have a 2" bodylift so i dont know if that will affect the the 4wd lever
Im geting excited lets get this thing in my truck.
Thanks Dave
Ps how does a 4 runner with coil springs in the rear go with a solid axle swap using leaf at the front the transport dept will only allow me to do a leaf setup.
Ive never seen a 4 runner with leaf up front except the older leaf allround 1s
cheers
