Has anyone found a good aftermarket replacement for the clips mounted onto the back of our moulding? Toyota has the caps which are inserted into the holes in the door panels, but they show no part numbers or anything on the clips themselves. If no aftermarket replacements for the clips exist...

I haven't got direct access to my manuals right now, but was wondering if there are any differences in the wiring harness connections between pre-89 and 89+ automatic A340E transmissions. Thanks guys...

Granted, 3 of them are then tied/crimped into a single wire before it gets to the connector, but that seems very, very strange. The picture I'm posting shows all the wires, and what appears to be a bad joint or at least overheated joint where the 3 brown wires are tied together. The car is...

Does the SM display stay on all the time, even with the engine off and the key removed? I'm running down some electrical drain issues and noticed the display was up.

Perhaps fail to notice that it was just sitting there until said vehicle was running ~45 or so? :cry: Just out of curiosity, how much altitude did yours get before landing? Mine managed what looked to be about 9 feet off the ground before hitting and sliding off the road. Guy riding with...

I've done some searches for remanufactured units without much luck. There's a few places around here (NW Georgia) who will do a rebuild, but I'm not entirely confident in them. So any recommendations for quality remanned units would be appreciated. Thanks...

I've been doing some reading on them here and elsewhere and perhaps I'm not completely understanding what the subframe bushings are really supposed to do (other than keep the subframe from constantly shifting around) but I've seen both poly and solid aluminum sets being sold for the MkIII, two...

The problem I've been working to solve is my transmission being overly fond of L1. While driving around in Drive or Overdrive it will suddenly and without any prompting drop into L1, at which point I have two options... let my speed fall off to around 15 mph when 1st gear re-engages and allows...

Reason I'm asking is my O/D lockup solenoid is shorted and I'm planning on replacing all 3 solenoids while I've got the pan pulled. The OEM units are pretty pricey, and I'm hoping someone has some experience with some quality aftermarket replacements. I've found a 3-piece kit from Rostra and...

I've got a lot of the bugs ironed out but this one is still throwing me. At random times while out driving the transmission will decide to downshift to low 1. Doesn't seem to matter if at the time I'm then in 3rd or in OD, or what speed I'm going at the time, but it will abruptly downshift...

No particular speed, no particular RPM, no particular elapsed time driving down the road. Just started it recently, thought it was a question of low fluid due to a transmission leak (leak has been fixed. I think), but it's still happening even with good fluid level. No CEL indicator, no...

Got the not-uncommon problem of a spare tire well which is pretty badly rusted and was wondering if anyone had simply found a decent donor car and cut the well out of both vehicles and welded the good one back into their car? My thought is that it would be far easier and cleaner looking to do...

What kind of difference is there (or isn't there) between an 89661-14141 and a 89661-14210 (aside from the car manufacture dates) ? Reason I ask is that my '88 is supposed to have the -14210, but the ECU has been replaced at some point in it's history and it now has the earlier -14141 (one year...

I'm in the process of replacing some dead gauges, and thought that as long as I had the cluster out I might want to clean the oxidation and such off the contacts where the screws make contact with the elements and traces (gold?) on the film and along the back. Anyone cleaned these contact...

Okay, I've had my little 1 year break from working on this thing but it's time to get serious about it. Problem #1 right now is speed sensor #1. From what I've read I was under the impression that this sensor was in the speedometer itself, and since mine was screwed up anyway I changed it...

Was driving my 88 yesterday (not hammering on it, just a cruise) when it freaked out. Transmission couldn't decide what gear it wanted to be in, engine bogged badly and threw a CEL (code unknown right now), black smoke poured out the exhaust, and after a few seconds of indecision the engine...

This looks like it's probably not that uncommon a failure given the design, but I thought I would ask those who have been dealing with them longer than I have. I'm relatively certain JB weld will work on it, and the electronics still seem to work like they're supposed to, but if it's one of...

Are they interchangable? The dimensions appear to be the same and I think the hinges are indentical or very close to the same, just wondering if there were any differences of significance. Thanks...

When I'm driving and let off the gas the car won't "coast" with the engine at idle/high idle. Instead it acts like I've downshifted into L2 and am using the engine to slow down, or like a manual shift when you leave it in gear and come off the gas. This happens whether I've got the OD on or...

Edited to add: No CEL's at all, clean codes even when this happens. Hope that'll help with a possible diagnosis. First up, kind of an odd situation, but I've noticed that no matter what speed I'm cruising at if I come off the gas even a hair (frog hair, not buffalo hair) my '88 acts like...
