ANYONE HELP ME OUT WITH BITS I NEED TO GET A V6 AUTO BOX FROM A 94 V6 SURF RUNNING FOR A LEXUS CONVERSION?
I'VE GOT MOST OF THE AUTO, THE BOX, X MEMBER, STANDARD BELLHOUSING, TORQUE CONVERTER, PROP SHAFTS AND 1 (I THINK) LINK ROD TO THE KICKDOWN (I THINK) SWITCH, ALL STILL TOGETHER.
I'M SHORT ON WIRING, COMPUTER IF ANY (SOME1 SAID THEY HAVE THEIR OWN 1 WHEN ON THE TRUCK ), FLEX PLATE, SHIFTER LEVER, LINKAGE AND CAB TRIM.
I'M FAIRLY MECHANICALLY MINDED BUT HAVEN'T DEALT WITH GEARBOXES MUCH AT ALL IN THE FLESH LET ALONE ANY VEHCILES WITH A COMPUTER.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW WERE THEY WERE SETUP & RUN ON THE PARENT VEHCILE?
ANY HELP VERY HELPFUL!

You will need a Trans ECU of some kind though... not exactly sure what was in that model of Surf though...

im doing the same thing, only going to be running my standard auto outta my surf at the moment. if you use the lexus bellhousing, torque converter, flex plate etc and change the input shaft from a lexus auto into the hilux auto it'll all bolt up and then get an auto sparkie to hard wire then trans an just manual shift it OR you could get an aftermarket trans controller an get that tuned up to shift where you want. im going to ring phil from NZEfi again tomorrow as he was looking into this for me.
dunno if this helps. prob not, but hey im bored.

If you want a manual auto, they cheapest off the shelf solution comes from this guy:

Brett,
I now have a 3 litre straight six toyota motor in my cruiser, but I'm still
using the diesel ECU to control the auto. Is there any way I can replace
that ECU completely with your box? If so what would that leave me with?
manual shifting through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and OD?
Thanks,
His response:
Yes, you could use my controller for manual control of each gear and torque convertor lockup without needing an ECU.
Thanks for your interest and let me know if you have any other questions,
Brett
