I just saw your post and since it was months ago, you have probably moved on, but some of those welded studs you mentioned are still available. If you look at the front panel and floor member drawing you will find them. The Number-3 heat shield towards the front mounts to 2 brackets that are...

Agreed.

Yes, a 1-mm shim under that G bearing would lift the direct clutch drum up into the sweet spot. One other thing. That sun gear is not exactly a precision component. There are 8 of those cut-outs or windows where the direct clutch drum keys fit. If I measure the gap there in those 8 locations, it...

I guess this is one of those times where you learn from experience. When I did the disassembly, I took lots of photos to help with the reassembly. However, I did not make any of those measurements because I knew I was going to replace every race, bearing, o-ring, snap ring, seal, plate, and...

I am sure there would be interest in both rebuild services and kits. From my very limited experience, the steps and actions required to rebuild the transmission are not that difficult. Some of the assemblies are a bit heavy to maneuver into their required position, but as long as you are...

I am about to the point where I am ready to just take a break and order all new OEM plates and discs.

For the 1st & reverse pack, the OEM plates are 0.0728" while the kit is 0.069" The discs are OEM 0.0684" while the kit is 0.067 This makes the kit stack height 0.0343" shorter For the 2nd brake the OEM plates are 0.070" and the kit 0.070" for 1 plate and for the other 4, OEM 0.100 and the kit...

I bought the rebuild kit directly through Transtar, but after you mentioned tolerances and so on in the other thread, I started checking into the kit a lot more. Transend is the suppler of the kit. I don't know their relationship to Transtar, but they seem to be together. The kit is for the A340...

Here are the photos

Here is the question. I also attached two photos. Just an update and another question. I solved my original problem with the clearance of the first & reverse brake pack. I took the entire thing apart again and then used the largest plate in the OEM list (5.4-mm) and it worked out fine. I am...

OK, if that is the case then I can do that. I was thinking that measurement was also related to the overall stack height for everything down the line and would indicate a problem somewhere if it was out of spec. By the way, I am not sure if you saw my question in my other post about the gap...

I was about to make the last required spec measurement for my A343F transmission rebuild project - when I discovered that the FSM requires the use of an SST for the measurement and Toyota was being a bit clever this time. The measurement is made from the top of the tool down to the top of the...

Just an update and another question. I solved my original problem with the clearance of the first & reverse brake pack. I took the entire thing apart again and then used the largest plate in the OEM list (5.4-mm) and it worked out fine. I am very happy with that outcome. But I have encountered...

I went through my PDFs and there is one listed as RM479U, but that PDF shows how to remove the transmission and how to diagnose codes and so on. At least that is what is in my PDF stored under the RM479U file name.

It is a PDF that I got from this site as I remember. I do not see any reference for RM479U.
