Transmission Help

devsdad01 · 12-06-2010, 06:32 PM

Ok took my 90 Turbo in to the Toyota dealer to have the rear ABS sensor replaced only to find out that they can't figure out what Transmission I have in the car. All they know is it isn't in their system. How do I figure out what I have ? I'm gonna need a clutch before too much longer and I don't even know what to buy the clutch for. Is there a database with the numbers on it somewhere ? It's a 5 speed manual gearbox but not sure what it was pulled from.

I hate it when a backyard mechanic that doesn't know what they are doing does crap to fine cars like these. GRRRRRRR

It came originally with an R154, they didn't have it in their system

? Are you saying the tranny was swapped before?

Yes the previous owner aperantly was trying to make a half way drift car out of it and for some reason he put a different tranny in. It fits and looks the same but ABS sensor hole is a different patern. It has been romoved and the hole pluged with silicone.

Looks like I have my work cut out for me. Car has wiring problems as well but runs like a screaming demon. Putting out about 12lbs of boost.

Wow, that is weird! Maybe you can post a picture?

It might have been an auto and swap to maybe a w58
