Tacoma, built autos?

sirhk100 · 12-19-2011, 11:04 AM

I've heard rumors of people swapping in a TH400 I think if memory serves me right but in the tacoma's with the 2WD 3.4L, is there options available for beefing up the auto transmissions? Obviously coolers are #1 but beyond that, what are people doing to help keep them alive under extreme abuse? Are manual shift bodies available for them? Any ideas?

Thanks

I have heard of people running the Royal purple stuff in their built rides as far as imports go. It's quite expensive though at like $40 bucks a quart.

You can get royal purple ATF for under $20 a quart guaranteed

I also read on a forum somewhere that a guy sent his torque converter out to get reflashed and fixed up.

big coolers with a temp guage, good fluid(I run Amsoil ATF), valve body upgrade and it should last a long time

IPT does the whole shebang, either just VB, VB and torque converter, or full rebuild (modifies all the internals).
You can spend anywhere from $500 - $5000 depending on how much "beef" you need!
