" From: msproviero@xxxxxxxxxxx

" The low-buck solution that Jeepers have discovered (mostly XJ owners
" with strokers) to the AW4 "weakness" is to buy the 2wd Toyota-spec
" A340 that has slightly higher torque/hp ratings and swap the required
" output parts.  The last time I did it, it was to the tune of $300 each
" for *new* transmissions + labor.

they have more clutch plates etc. i imagine.  which a340 version in
particular?  which trucks [i'm guessing] have it?  which engines?

isn't the tundra 4.7 v8 backed with an a340?

" The only problem is that this only works cheaply for 96-down AW4's.
" If you have a 97-up with the different housing and sensors, you need
" to swap housings (basically raiding the new trans for all its guts).
" Still works out well, but could be more costly if you are not the DIY
" type.

if you're going this far, it'd be worth checking 
www.importperformancetrans.com for the hd mods they have.
