3l diesel 1kz??? dont think they are same? thanks

Check the Trans codes under the bonnet both those autos may actually be the same should be A343F or something close

tha code for my v6 auto is A343H on the chassis plate. if is same and you are keen let me know as it is on trade me at the moment.

Umm not sure on the H v F I'll have a nose around... brb

OK what it looks like is the difference is in the transfer case, one is most likely got an electric drive for selection the other maybe hydraulic or vacum

You can probably use the auto and change either the transfer case or the 4wd select and away you go..

f is usually from a turbo diesel and the h is from the v6 i think :scratch:

Prado KZJ 71 Auto 3Lt = A343 F

yeah you're pretty much spot on there suprasurf. from what i've read the only difference is the transfer box. The F box is electric drive for the selection and chain driven and the H box is hydraulic. the main gearbox is used in toyotas, isuzu's and even jeeps in the states.

thanks for all the help an info guys, Vaughn you still want to sell yours? be down on Saturday if thats cool?
