i'm looking to get a cheap prado 90 with the 1kz-te automatic, the tranny is on the way out,
i'm struggling to find a cheap replacement.
anyone know if i can use a tranny from the vz95 or from a hilux surf with a 1kz-te?
thanks

The actual auto transmission was used in zillions of Toyotas, so it would be a matter of adaption to suit your 90 if you can’t source a direct replacement.

yes i know that, it's used in some mitsubishi and isuzu too. if it's just a matter of swapping the beel housing that fine, but if it involve swapping input shaft or more that a bigger job.
thanks
