[TR] Toyota tranny conversion TR6?

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

I have hung on to the 5 speed that I had in my 81.5 Toyota diesel pickup.
Those engines were only about 60 H.P. and I think the transmission ratios
were fairly widely spread out. 1st was not a creeper gear, but it was low
enough so that there was no clutch slipping to get the truck moving on a
hill. Not sure if that would be a good candidate for a TR-6 or GT-6.

I've had the whole conversion process to the HVDA kit on my site for about 5
years now. All the ratios can be found here

Herman's kit only supports specific tranny's so if you're going with his kit
make sure you only get the ones he specifies. Since I got mine he's branched
out a little to some Lexus models. I'd stay away from any Toyota tranny's
out of a truck..........especially if it's lived in snow
country............snow plowing can raise havoc with a tranny.
