I have an '85 Celica with a busted A40D.
I have the rebuild kit already and the ATSG manual to fix it. I don't have the special service tools though. Has anyone (reading this newsgroup) purchased these to do this rebuild? Are they outrageously expensive?
Is it a pretty straight-forward rebuild or any pitfalls to watch for?
OTC supplies the SST's for Toyota in North America. Check out their web site at otctools.com. The SST's make the job go a lot more quickly.
Pre-soak the clutch packs while you are working on the rest of the transmission.
thanks, Ray, for the link and the info about the clutches!
You're welcome! (BTW, pre-soaking the clutch packs is a pretty old trick).
i noticed after i read your message when i looked in the ATSG guide for this transmission to get the SST numbers, that it tells you to soak the clutches in several places.. lol
