[TR] Toyota tranny conversion TR6?

[Anthony Cascio]

Tim,
I installed the HVDA conversion on my TR3A about 5 years ago and can tell you I wouldn't have it any other way.
As you already found out Toyota transmissions are relatively inexpensive compared to a rebuilt TR and even more with the OD.
I did have to replace one transmission on my travels to Yipsilanti, but that was my fault as I didn't leave the driveshaft clearance that Hermann recommends. I was able to order a replacement transmission from a supplier in Texas and it cost me 500.00.
By the way I have since shortened, converted to a solid tube and balanced my driveshaft.
I'm sorry I don't remember whether the W56 or the W58 comes out of a Celica or not, but the tranny out of the P/U is a lower gear ratio, I personally would recommend the Celica trans.
Hermann is great to work with and will answer any questions you might have during the conversion.
of course I would recommend that you have someone look at that tranny you picked up and replace the seals before installation.
Good luck
