    4age's use T series box AFAIK.

    a340e's I have seen with J,M and G series bell housings. So no, will not bolt on.

    Also, the E designates electronic so you will need an MV shift box to manualise it otherwise you will shift 1,3,4.

    The line pressure is from the cable on throttle body for most older type a340e variants.

    Stock boxes usually good for around 220rwkw and the associated torque from a 1jz-gte. So unless you are a nutter, it should last behind a 4agte (if you can mount it there?)

    Size as in diameter? If so, search. Big thread with pics and all about 2 months ago.

    *edit - just saw you said a40. Never even heard of one? *

    I actually read it as a typo. a40 3 speed. Insert 3 into a40 to get a340

    Apparently the a40 is a 4 speed. Well someone who answered one of his questions before said it was?

    The most common auto box found behind 4A's in RWD format are trimatics.

    No idea what an a40 is?

    A40 was the 3-speed auto used in early Celicas, eg RA23.

    According to this thread : http://www.toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7481

    the locally delivered AE71 had the trimatic.

    The jap spec/JDM ones would no doubt have had another model of auto box, perhaps the A40 you speak of??

    What ever box it is you have though if it came out of an AExx model it will bolt to a 4A.

    Trimatics can be made to hold quite a bit of power. They used to convert them to run behind VL turbos....until they kept breaking

    No you can't use a flywheel with an autobox.

    You will need to get the proper flexplate to suit the motor and box you are using.
    My sig has been pruned as it was over 5 lines long.
