MT ECU Connectors -- no longer available from Toyota

I just got notice from one of the toyota resellers that my order was canceled as they are on backorder without an ETA.

Seems each step of this process has been more money / delay...

Already have another order in with another vendor (fingers crossed)

however I'm curious if anyone knows of a parts supplier that carries them in stock?

figure I'm not the last one that will be converting an AT engine harness to manual...

Granted it's been 2 (ish) years since I've had to buy any of the connectors, but I never had any issues or hints of an issue getting parts, though if Toyota did a large batch buy of connectors (from their supplier [it looks like a Molex or TE made part]) and haven't restocked, the supply could be running low or even be out.

Needless to say, that's not good.

site suggested they were a dealership with a parts department selling through web-site

2nd order hasn't gotten any red flags yet -- if the order comes through I'll post the site

Not sure without looking at the invoice but those should be the ones I just bought.

Have you gone in person to your local dealer??

They are cheap enough I can add another set to my order if they show up I will sell them to you .

If you don`t want them an extra set on hand won`t hurt.

Another false alarm put to rest.

They really took no longer then most of the other strange Toyota parts I order.

Could be the some of the online vendors if a order takes to long they cancel it.
