Can anyone tell me...
I have a 1998 Prado MANUAL LWB. (90 series)
Will the Automatic version fit the manual version? Before i go ahead and buy one.

In a word - NO.
On the automatic the Selector Shafts stick out of the front and the Transfer Lever Turret is mounted on an extension housing between the Auto gearbox and the Transfer box.
On a manual the selectors are internal and the Transfer Lever Turret fits on the top of the TB case.
There are a couple of other differences as well:
Auto Transfer boxes have three Detector Switches - on a manual one of them is blanked off.
Auto Transfer Boxes have a blanking plate where the Lever Turret fits on a manual.
Auto TBs don't have Synchromesh between High & Low Ratio - Manuals do.
It is possible to convert one to the other if you have both - but it requires a complete strip down.
I have a couple of re-built Manual Transfer boxes if you are interested. Getting one to the Falklands might be an interesting exercise though.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers.
Bob. |

Hi Bob, Many thanks for all that, I had a feeling the selector issue would be a problem A garage here said that it would be a straight swap but another disagreed and said that they just spent 13 hours rebuilding 1 from the 2 so I was sceptical.
In a nut shell I need a manual transfer box ASAP.
How much would you sell one for? It won't be a problem getting it to the Falklands. We have a company based in Bristol that ships to us.
Look forward to hearing from you and Thank you
