Hi!

I'm a Brit resident in France. I recently bought a 1982 4x4 Toyota pick-up. This strange beast has an 18R engine, an L43 gearbox and a 1-A transfer case. This configuration is apparently standard in Europe! I have a question that no amount of combing the "records" has provided the answer for. What is the difference between the 1-A and the 1-B transfer cases, and what gearboxes are compatable with this transfer case? I am going to convert to diesel 5 speed as soon as I can, (it's much cheaper, and I spent ten years as a diesel mechanic, I'm more at home with them than petrol engines!)I need to know what bolts to what! This is the first essential, other mods later! Do you have a European outlet for you "special" Toyota parts?

Thanks in advance, Matthew

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
