FWIW, If it was MT you stand a good chance of the gears being the same...


AT and forget it!


Look for a color dot on the pinion... Or get the code off the TRD, and the one off yours and make sure they match.

I can feel the questions coming...

you better get that as a selectable is hands down the best traction, and a Aussy is $150 easy...

Go see inchworm to get the stuff needed to lock it up with.
