I have recently aquired an '86 extra cab truck that has the automatic trans and tranfer case. The truck HAS issues, the 375,000 and some change registering on the BROKEN odometer might have something to do with it. LOL. The transmission and transfer were both overhauled by aamco a few years back. The transmission does work, but will not downshift and the transfer case doesn't seem to work AT ALL. All the linkage is hooked up and moves, but it will not engage the front axle and low range does not work either. This transfer case is the type that appears to work like an automatic transmission, it has its own separate fluid pan. Does this transfer case SHARE the fluid with the tranny or is there a separate filler location for it? I'm guessing its not working because its either low on fluid or the clutches in it are burned up. I was just hoping someone on here might have some experience with these and would be able to give me some insight before I tear it apart. I'm sure my shifing problem with the tranny is a result of a dirty gommed up valvebody...it has been sitting for quite some time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And YES, I LIKE AUTOMATIC TOYOTAS. I can see it comin already..."just change it to a 5 speed dude" LOL, NOT, the automatic is the main reason I bought it. I've been shifting through gears in toyotas for nearly a half a million miles.
