    I just picked one up for my truck. What do you need it for? What motor? I have a 4WD one too. There are a bunch up here honestly, it wasn't hard to find.

    its for my 82 corolla wagon. has a 3TC with a 3 speed.... i wanna keep it auto but its runnin @ 3500 rpm's when doing 65... if i could get the rpm's dropped down when on the freeway it'd be a much more pleasant drive for me as well as the car.

    i went to the yard today but i completely forgot to look for them..... was out there on a last minute dash to get hoshposh's round headlight conversion for his 82.

    i think the a43D is not run by a computer though so i may look for that too...... however im not sure if the a40 bellhousing from the 3tc will bolt up to it....? i know the older cressidas, celicas, supras and pickups "should" bolt up.

    I'm not sure what the bell housing pattern is on the 3TC. I bought my trans off a 22RTE so I knew ti would match up, got the flex plate, spacers, and TQ. I got an A340E though, the electronic one. They do have manually controlled ones, but I don't know as much about them. The nice thing about this series of transmission though, is they made them all the same, and swapped out bell housings. The bell housings are labeled by the motor type. So maybe your bell housing would fit on the trans you want?

    A guy that helped me with a lot of info on these transmissions was Rory at RADesigns. He has a website, but not sure if I'm allowed to link to it, so maybe Google that. Even if you got an electronic one, he makes a simple manual controller for them, or you could wire up a Suprastick like I plan to do.

    Also, there is a guy up here selling a brand new manually controlled one for $500. I don't know much about the manual ones, and I do not think this one is from a 22R, but he has some info on it.

    Also, there is this guy, just a few minutes away from me.

    I could use the front clip and axle if you wanted it picked up. I am always collecting them.
