I've mostly been using the Land Cruiser manual, but it doesn't include the LJ78 as it was only ever JDM. Anyways, I bought these manuals off of yahoo auctions and made PDFs. I know they're in Japanese, but you can use the google translate app on your phone to get a reasonable translation — or...

Just while I'm waiting for the transmission to get here.... does anyone want to weigh in on what transmission it actually is? The seller wasn't quite sure what vehicle it came from... the engine looks like my 2L-TE. The shift lever housing has both levers on the top whereas as my R151F doesn't...

Basically said I’m farked.

Thanks. Email sent.

Thanks. I’ll measure the parts today and see if they have a replacement

My transmission died on the highway while my wife was on a 5 hour drive to pick up her family from the airport! I'm actually based in Japan but the garage says that they can't source replacement parts. Maybe the Aussies are buying them all up? It's a 1991 Prado LJ78W with 2L-TE engine and R151F...
