Hi guys, I own a 93 JDM Aristo 3.0V. Currently, the car is having problems with shifting the gears. Pulled out the error codes 62&63 which means the shift solenoids 1 & 2 are faulty. Shift solenoids from Toyota are about usd113 each. Im looking for a cheaper alternatives and found a set from ebay

Will those solenoids works with my JDM A340e tranny?

 

Wish I could help you but I don't know anything about the autos.. You should definitely lift the car up, drain the transmission fluid and pull the bottom pan off and see what the shift solenoids look like and compare. You will probably have to use your brackets and such so make sure you don't break anything.

 

be careful though....I swore I read somewhere it was better to take a340 (on the supra forums) out of the car and have pan facing upright.


Edit:
Here is the post where I think I read this. It also explains how to make the A340 last and shift faster.

I've replaced them in car with no issues. Just be patient and drain all the fluid out. It'll take hours to fully drain. Otherwise you risk getting fluid on your gasket which causes leaks. It's an easy fix and the Aristo trans is the same as the turbo auto 93-97 supra.

 

I stand corrected. also check your private message for the A340 repair manual if you need it.

 

Thanks gents. However will those solenoid fit into my JDM A340e without any issues?

 

Did replacing the solenoids solve your problem? Here is a link to an inexpensive set of solnoids and they seem to be direct fit instead of the universal type. http://www.electricaladvantage.net/a...oidkit3pc.aspx

 

Kene, that was an awesome link, I've found a winter project!

 

now I need to go back to that 2015 plans thred and update "trans shift kit".. lol. just read all 20 pgs on SF and found a few of my own posts there from 2006!! amazing what you can forget when you have been away from it for awhile.

 

I've replaced the shift solenoids and rebuilt the tranny as well. However, o/d light still blinking and it starts off in high gears instead of 1st-2nd-3rd-4th. There is no error codes though. My mechanic said that the TPS might be the culprit, is that pssible?

 

Definitely, my tps went bad and it would shift really early threw a new one on and put it to spec and its great now.

 

Thanks for the feedback SCKinght I really need to find a new TPS now and hopefully it will cure the problem.

 

I put one on from autozone, works perfect with a lifetime warranty. $90

 

I did a diagnose to find error codes and these came up, 62,63 & 77. I know that 62 & 63 means shift solenoids are faulty. But what does 77 refers to?

 

Turned out that the capacitors inside the ECU were leaking. Tested the car with different ecu and it ran perfectly fine.
