Turns out I did not find the right cable. I have talked to my local Toyota dealer but they were not much help and could only tell me that the right part I thought I had did not match with my VIN. It seems like the cable is also called a detent cable but I have only been able to find them for 4 runners of the same year. I am going to call some local transmission shops to see if they have any ideas or sources. If anyone reads this and has any suggestions it would be great. The part number that I thought would work is 3552035030 but Toyota told me otherwise. 

 

Any help would be awesome. Thanks. Brody

Looks like I can't copy and paste the website I use for parts anymore but your part number is

35520-22021

The exact part number for our 86's has been discontinued but it says this earlier one will fit. Available from Toyota

Thank you so much. I will be spraying the new cable very often after the headache this has caused me. Thanks for all the help.

Well don't thank me yet. I can't find that part number available on any other website. Can't find any aftermarket ones either. The best I could find is a universal cable but you would need to have all the parts of the old one to measure exactly

Damn I had better go lube mine since they are no where to be found

That's where I found it but it's discontinued on every other Toyota site I checked. Maybe they have some. I use that site to find the part numbers. As far as actually buying I can't really recommend them. Sometimes they are good and sometimes not.

Yes I don't understand it either but it does come up for the dual wheel truck in 1986

Maybe if it fits later trucks too they do have it. I have no idea. Truth is I don't know why the first part number he found wouldn't work. For a regular truck but the front of our trucks is the same as a regular one. Shouldn't be a difference in length as far as I know

I had originally went through and ordered the  35520-22021 one from Toyotapartsdeal only for them to tell me after waiting 3 days that it was no longer available. I have someone who possibly able to make me a new one based off the old broken one but would like to have that as a last resort. I am going to try and call my other local Toyota dealership and see if the parts person there is anymore helpful or could point me in another direction. The one on ebay looks like it will work too but I would rather get a new cable and not have to deal with this again. Thank you for everyones help. I orginally thought that the 3552035030 part number would work but gave up on it when the Toyota parts person told me it would not. I thought it should work because it is for an 84 truck but I will see what the dealer says tomorrow. 

Thank you again for all the help and everyone make sure you keep yours lubed up.

Ask the dealer if they have specs on the length of the cable and if the original part you thought would work is different that the one that's discontinued. If they can give you the exact length you need yes one can be made to fit

Well I found the right cable. The actual correct part number for your rig. Only thing is it's in Dubai. Others on this site have ordered discontinued parts from them before with good results. Shipping is pretty cheap too, 15 bucks. Total is 68 dollars. Just in case your interested

Basically you need to know the length it is the only thing that is important even if it's longer that's ok too short obviously won't work. The engines and transmissions were pretty much the same in the Toyotas so if the ends match and the cable is long enough they it should work. Try ebay they list a lot of Toyota cables.

I should look and see if the cable for my LS400 is the same.

Yeah there is no magic it's just a cable pull one end the other moves the same.There was some differences in the mounting but pretty obvious.

Hello all I apologize in advance if for revitalizing a such an old thread. I really appreciate the breadth of knowledge on here and im hoping someone can bestow some of that knowledge my way. I am taking off on a several month trip and am trying to take care of a few laundry list items on the rig before they become bigger problems. The transmission on my 85 sunrader (75,000 miles) has a small leak on what I have learned is referred to as the manual valve lever shaft seal. I believe that this leak has been present for a while, and although there has been a presence of fluid, I  keep a close eye on the level and rarely if ever have to add any. I ordered a seal from the toyota dealership and hope it was the correct one because the guy at the counter was of very little help. My questions are 

A. Does anyone know the correct part number(?) so if I did get it incorrect I can quickly re-order the correct part.

B. Has anyone had luck removing this seal without removing and or disassbling the transmission? And if so do you know what specialty tool(s) i will need to tackle the job?

C. Any other tips and or things I should be aware of before diving in?

D. Am I being overly cautious in thinking this is something that needs to happen now?

So is your Sunrader an 85 or 86. I think it makes a difference. Need production date to know if factory dual wheel or upgraded

Its an 85' but the rear end was never taken care of by the original owner, I sourced out the full floater and installed it myself.

I think that is actually the correct part, thanks Linda S you're a savior! Hopefully someone can help with some installation tips??

You can remove the seal with a small screw threaded into it and plyers. Drive the new one in with an deep socket.

Oh yea that makes a lot of sense. Thank you! Should I pre-lubricate or pack the open side of that seal with anything before trying to press it in? All of the diagrams have only shown one as far as I can tell. Is this the case? Also I found this resource that could be very helpful for someone, it appears to be a digital copy of the factory service manual

https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/18124477/a43d-transpdf

This wasn't exactly helpful to me since it describes a complete tear down. Maybe this resource is already well known but I thought I would throw it out there.

I'm going to say it's where the trans cooler line where fit into the trans. The right angle fitting fits into the trans the nut on the fitting has a copper washer behind it. The washer maybe be fine the nut holds the fitting in place at the proper angle if it's loose it will leak.

Detention Cable.

I know some members have had trouble finding this cable as it’s been discontinued. I pulled this quote from another Toyota site. I know nothing about the auto transmission but wanted to put it out here.

 

I recently rebuilt my 22r engine and while reinstalling the engine and auto. trans discovered my detent\kick down cable was not functioning. Upon further investigation found the ball on the end of the cable inside the transmission had worn off. Then, I also discovered Toyota has discontinued the 84-88 detent cable. After retro fitting a number of different cables discovered that the 1990-92 Toyota Land Cruiser Cable to fit into my 85 pickup and worked great. The cable is a little longer but once it is fasten to the hold down fitting on the intake manifold it works just as good as original.

The part number for this cable is Parts Geek----1990-1992 Toyota Land Cruiser Automatic Transmission Kickdown Cable - Pioneer Cables CA-2015......  https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ssq=Part+#:+CA-2015 or https://tinyurl.com/6mm32s7b

Mechanic said a seal on the side is leaking. Just wondering if I should bother with it or just let it be and keep topping the fluid off when low?

Did he give a price? If it's reasonable get it fixed. Slow leak can turn into a fast leak with no warning and tranny rebuild is very expensive. Couple of years ago I know of a woman who paid 4 grand in Oakland for one

No. I brought it to him to finish my pinion seal, change the wheel studs, fix the brakes and install the leaf springs. He supposedly fixed the pinion seal and changed the studs. He told me he didn’t want to install the leaf springs and really didn’t fix the brakes. I didn’t bother asking him about working on the transmission. I brought it to another shop who has had it for over a month and was complaining about having to remove the holding tank to remove the leaf springs and I tried to explain to them you can take them off without removing anything. They don’t service transmissions and I don’t want them to touch it anyways. They are suppose to fix the brakes and adjust the steering. Why don’t people want to work on these vehicles it seems anytime I try to bring it somewhere it turns into a huge ordeal. The rv is still in Fresno and I’m in the east Bay Area. I have to wait for the other shop to finish and drive it back with flat leaf springs and finish it myself. After that I have to bring it to a muffler shop and then maybe I will have someone quote me on the transmission. Sorry I know most of this post is not about my transmission, but working on this thing has been quite a task!

Hamkid,

 

Yes shops tend only specialize and do not get into other repairs. My rear transmission seal was leaking and I had to take that to a specialized shop for repair.  As for the springs I'm going to use a shop that specializes in spring repair. I also worked with Les Schwab that will do my brakes, bearings and tires. I had to give them time up front to procure the parts then they will tell me bring it in. 

 

I'm also going to replace the head gasket and timing chain, not sure if I'll do that myself or get a shop to do but again no-one is going to do it all, you have to work at it.

 

Good luck!

Gary

Both shops I brought it to claim to specialize in trucks, frames, and wheels. For some reason the shop it’s at now can’t seem to realize you have to remove the bushings to remove the shackles then it will jimmy out while barely hitting the holding tank. I’m not even a mechanic and I could do it. I’m sorry I’m done ranting about anything that’s not a transmission on this feed.

These old RVs are a ton of work, and I feel your pain, hamkid... I mean, I get a kick out of working on 'em and keeping things alive—man-vs-machine and all that. Also, don't know about you, but there's no way in hell I could ever afford to have somebody do all the work that's needed on this rig! (And mine's just a '91.) And like you've noticed, it's "hard to find good help," as they say, and not getting any easier.

 

I'm sure opinions vary, but I would never recommend a 30+ year old motorhome to anyone who's not at least a decent shade-tree mechanic (or has one or two in the family!). To the general public, I would say: If you don't have the necessary repair skills, health, and time to keep up with constant, ongoing repairs—then you're probably better off spending bigger money on a newer, nicer rig in the first place.

Well I would have finished everything myself except I had to leave the place I was working on it at. Everything was not finished and I had to leave it with a mechanic which is turning out to be horrible!
