Tranny rebuild...stranded in Dayton, OR HELP!

[KimsCruiser]

'92 FJ80 tranny went out last summer while on vacation. I was saving $$$ to rebuild engine (286K) but now just want her up and running. Any recommendations in Dayton, OR to install rebuilt transmission?

Thank you!

A local shop can probably order/find a used tranny for $300-400. Same thing happened to me in Ogden, UT. I got a used one for $350 and had the local mech install it (total was $1100 + pizza for the mechs). When I got home I had it checked out by the toyota dlr. A quick internet search turns up many local LC sites in and around Portland. I have no idea who is the best in the area, but Land Cruiser on Portland comes up at (503) 292-4980. They may be able to point you in the right direction. No affiliation - can't vouch for them.

What's your transmission doing, slipping?? There's been some mudders with the A442F transmission who've had slipping that was caused by a couple of bad solenoids, bad connectors, bad wires. Might be worth it to look into those possible causes??

Dayton is pretty close to MetalTech... give them a call and see what they suggest. I can't think of any other Toyota specific shops in that area.

Thanks for the input!
Tranny's toast so I'll look into getting her towed to MetalTech to install a rebuild. It will be nice to have her up and running--have to save the rebuild for another time
