Loomis76 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hello, I have two 1985 Toyota RVs. I need a transmission for one. I found a 1988 Toyota Motorhome transmission and wonder if it will fit. My current 1985 Escaper has a plate on the trans that says model 03-71. I believe it's a A-43D but I can't find that on the transmission. Does anyone know if a 1988 Toyota 22re RV automatic transmission will work in my 1985 22re Toyota Motorhome? 1985 Escaper 22re VIN JT5R55D8F0104483 getting a transmission from a 1988 22re Toyota Motorhome VIN JT5RN75U6J0019324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 it has to be an A43D trannie and overheating is the main cause of failure. It's the overdrive. They don't have a locking torque converter so the constant shifting back and forth when in overdrive cause the trannie to get too hot and degrade the fluid. If you change it out leave overdrive off except for long flat areas or down hill. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
