first post, have a major question...is there anyone that would know where i could get my hands on an all-track tranny? i found a beat up old all-track and i know how uncommin they are and i contacted the owner, turned out to be a kid i went to school with, and he said if you want it it yours, but it needs a new tranny. It apperently has a "4wd" switch in it. if its extremely hard to find a transmission for it is there anyform of built-up transmission that would bolt in? I just need to replace the whole tranny, halfshafts, drive shaft is ok, and while i'm at it a clutch. any info is well appritiated.
thanx

youll have to be a little more specific than i need an All-trac tranny
Camry All-trac?
Celica All-trac?
Corolla All-trac?
Hell there's even an all-trac Previa!
Either way, you might just have to have that one rebuilt. Rare transmissions usually have to be rebuilt, instead of replaced.
If its old and beat up, you'll want to check the condition of the engine too...dont know what fun stuff youll find in there, expecially if the tranny is bad, who knows whats gonna be wrong with the engine.

it is the 89 camry all-track, not a coupe. sorry for the confusion. i am pretty sure its n.a but i am not a 100% sure. maybe it is forced fed, i dont know. camry all track, any way to get a transmision, and half shaft's?
i havent seen the car in a year, but i do remember offering the guy to buy it off him when it was still in driving condition. i dont remember how, but he through a half shaft through the casing in the transmission. there is a possability that the internals are still in working condition, i dont know that for a fact. i know that it doesnt drive due to the mess up. if worse comes to worst, i can always have a machine shop rebuild it, if i get a factory case from the dealership couldnt i?
to get a better idea i am going to go look at it after school, and i will try and get a camera to go with and get pics all around.
chances of you finding a tranny for that thing are probably slim. But i imagine that a good transmission shop could rebuild it. If you can get the transmission out, and put it back in, you can save yourself a good bit of money on getting it fixed.
