Greetings fellow supra enthusiasts, I have a question. Since I no longer have reverse and can't afford to have the tranny rebuilt right now, I plan to use a n/a auto trans in my 89 auto turbo. I found it for 100 bucks and plan to put it in and test it out tomorrow. I am wondering if anyone knows of any issues I may encounter or how long I can expect it to stand up until I get my original repaired. I'll reaserch this topic better before I ask any further questions but hadn't seen anything like this asked or answered yet so I'm tossing it out.
Thanks for your input very much.
Rodsterdude.
Oh yea, happy t-day tomorrow :)

It'll be fine if you don't beat on it too hard, there are a few small differences that increase the load capacity of the GTE 340, more clutches in a couple of the packs and so on.
