I need a new torque converter for my 86 Turbo 4runner and can't seem to find one anywhere! It's the same one offered on the non-turbo models and the V6 models a few years later but none of my local shops have it. I've checked Napa, Autozone and O'Reilly's but all are on backorder or they can't order one. I cringe at the thought of what the dealership would charge! Thanks for the help guys!

 

Have you thought used at all???

Have you checked with any of the local trans shops the independent ones they need to source these things someplace .

 

I to have an 86 with a questionable torque converter and would like to find a replacement so I will just bump this to the top any one.

 

Read through this thread, I think your 4R probably doesn't use the A43D. Most likely the A340. But this guy uses a torque converter manufactuer that he raves about. You may wanna check w/them.
