So I am thinking the pump on my 88 tranny may be toast.. I have been scouring the internet trying to find a replacement but so far I am striking out.. any ideas?

 

give transmission parts usa a call. (239) 790-5401. they should be able to get you what you need.

 

I looked at their website and couldn't find one.. I will give them a call tomorrow.. Does anyone else have any ideas?

 

Check anywhere that carries Toyota parts as well - the AW4 was also known as the Toyota 30-40LE or A340H.

Why do you think you need a front pump? Not getting any pressure at the test port, or low pressure in all ranges? Front pumps are notoriously difficult to kill in a decent slushbox - I'd flogged the AW4 in my 87 terribly, and didn't lose the front pump.

 

thats why i said call. talking to someone gets things done

 

Yeah that's very true! I know the pump is shot for sure now, I pulled it out and the gear is all broken in pieces. When I installed the tranny I forgot to spin the TC all the way into place and I think it bound up the pump and BLAMO! Broken pump.. third times the charm..

 

Yeah, that'll do it! I just wanted to make sure you weren't after fixing the wrong problem (I didn't know what had happened...)

You may also want to call the guys at www.bulkpart.com - I've had good luck with them in the past with a number of other jobs.

 

Thanks guys this posting was very helpful. Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the pump?
