Well, I have REALLY been looking forward to installing this 2F engine and 4 speed transmission and rebuilt transfer case (at least that's what the seller told me when I bought it) and RARE overdrive unit into my FJ40, but I think my wife may be right (don't tell her) and after all the surgery...
As early as 2006 people were asking for someone to develop a swap for the A750F transmission to replace the A442F and A343F that are in 08/92 – 01/98 FZJ80’s and LX450’s…. Well that day has come! Cruisers & Company has teamed up with Wholesale Automatic Transmissions (WAT) of Australia to bring...
some thing ive notice more recent on my 1hz 80 series landcruiser, my gearbox has been getting really hot as well as bell housing too, to the point of hot when touching the transmission tunnel
recently did an oil change and it was pretty bad, have refilled to the right level.
I have noticed this...
Hi guys,
I have purchased a 1995 80 series last week and the gearbox appears to be shot, it is slipping in all gear shifts + struggling to go into reverse + pouring trans fluid all over the ground when stopped (still driveable but don't want to risk damaging further so haven't driven since) ...
Hello all! I've been lurking as a guest since I bought my 1995 Prado (KZJ78W-PET, 1KZTE, A343F G284) in June while living in Japan. I thoroughly enjoy the rig, but it's surely showing that it's 30 years old. Been chasing electrical issues, starting abnormalities (slow starts, a hard...
Does anyone see any issues with using an A440f from a left hand drive US cruiser in my right hand drive hzj77? I know I’ll have to fabricate a bracket for the shifter linkage, and I already know I have the correct input shaft for the 1hz.
I’ve just had no luck acquiring a transmission from a...
If you’re looking to do a wholesale automatic valve body upgrade, look no further! Use this as a core, so you don’t wait 4-6 weeks for yours to get rebuilt.
Send this one out and swap it when you get it back.

I bought 4 transmission solenoids from Cobra Transmission. They said they were for the A440F AND A442F or whatever the FZJ80 has haha. I tore my tranny apart and found 1 cylindrical solenoid that I have no idea how to remove too. No videos or write ups on it that I could find. I wanted to verify...
Hi all,
Looking to buy a UK LC100 diesel auto and struggling to find specific info compared to US petrol variants which have a lot more info online.
My main questions are:
Diesel Engine: What specific 4.2L turbo diesel (e.g., 1HD-FTE) variants were in UK LC100s, especially did they have a...
Those of you running a scan gauge or similar, at what temp do you set your alert for your transmission temperature? Online I’m seeing things that say that the transmissions in general are made to operate 200°F, and obviously higher temps is what kills an automatic transmission,but where do you...
This post is not meant to debate whether or not one should or should not do a full change but rather, whether this technique would work on our 100 series cruisers like it does in this 4runner. I used this technique on my 3rd gen 4runner 100k miles ago with great results so getting ready to do...
Hello
I am looking for a part number for the solenoid plug on the outside of the a442f transmission on a 1996 FZJ80R. Or does anybody know the pin connector dimensions to replace the female pin connectors.
I unplugged it to do the manual shifting test as per the manual to diagnose my shifting...
Hi all, my buddy's 1kz 1994 Surf is having some trans issues. It is hesitant to upshift, usually dragging up to 3k rpm before going into 2nd or 3rd, then it wont go into 4th at all. We've swapped the temperature sensor and all 3 shift solenoids and obviously checked the level 1000000 times. Not...
Used 3 speed FJ40 transmission. It still worked fine when I replaced it with a 4 speed transmission. It could probably use a rebuild before you put it back in. I have the shifter too if you want it. Transmission $500, Shifter $75. Buyer pays for shipping.
So.... It's becoming a problem: I rebuilt and swapped in an h55 into my 81 BJ42. Original problem is it would not go into 1st/2nd when hot say at a stoplight. Yesterday, I noticed this is now extending to 3rd/4th. My (somewhat irrational) fear is that I mucked up the transmission rebuild but...
Like the title says, I'm stuck. And I'm a little apprehensive because I head home on Sunday and am hoping I can get this all done.
I have some leaks I want to try to fix before parking it on a driveway. I'm going to cover the driveway anyway, but I promised the wife I'd try. Today I started...
recently my LX has ‘check vsc system’ pop up on dash and following with ESP and engine sign. Just went to my local shop and they diagnose the code P0894 and P2714 which are transmission related issue. When reaching to 70mph, engine needs around 3000rpm to maintain the speed which is unusual...
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...
