I guess it’s not actually a transit bus. But Dyna’s and Coasters. Although I do need to correct my statement. I guess the coaster did get A343’s, according to Beno. But, I’m definitely no authority so... meh.
@richardlillard1 It has better gearing on 1st, better 5th (has five gears instead of four as in the A442F) and gives you faster shifts
Well if you can figure out a way to do it please do by all means but we started a thread here to see if it could be done probably 2 years ago and it never panned out.

@scottryana It can be done on mine, not sure about yours...1HZ...1HD-T...1HD-FT and 1HD-FTe share the same block (basically) over here A750F came with 1HD-FTe, so bellhousing should work from my A442F to the A750F...so now is a matter of computer...easy done when looking for it...go to COMPUSHIFT Sport and Pro and buy it...then just use the thing
also, TC from A442F works on A750F
I thought the 442 was a bus and then the 343 is in some short bus
I looked at the Compushift and it runs you about $1500 with no display . The Microsquirt is about $400 and would take some, but not a ton of work

They make all kinds of different sizes of coasters. It wasn’t until I read one of Benos posts from his factory tour that I saw the A343 part. First time I’d heard that. But yeah... the others are common knowledge. Evidently even 22r’s were used.

I get to drive both on a regular (but unfortunately not frequent) basis. Both trucks with S/C and low TC gears.
In low range, the 1-2 upshift of the A442 will try and snap your neck. 2nd gear start on the A343 for the win.
My A442 has 2nd gear start...
Do you read the thread before flippantly commenting? He was responding to someone saying the A343 was better because it had 2nd start.the A343F does too

Shouldn't have posted in a bench racing thread anyways... carry on.
Sorry, was responding to shcoktower. Your input was interesting, and more applicable than many as you drive both.
I wasn’t “triggered.” Almost every response you’ve had in this thread has been arrogant and cavalier. It wasn’t tomato-tomatoe, they’re the same thing. You didn’t even have the same general area. I made a factual point which you refuted, wrongfully, then turned around and completely contradicted your own statement a few posts later. That’s how misinformation gets spread. It’s the same on many threads you comment in. Gets old and doesn’t add any value.
Micro Squirt is fine (first time I hear about it), but I dont see it as able to be used with an A750F, besides, my 80, it is pricier, but I think it should be betteras for keeping it all Toyota (!)
