This video shows you what to expect when installing a Trans Go Kit. This TransGo Reprogramming Kit comes with everything you need to recalibrate the accumulators, feed orifices as well as pressure regulation for street, strip and off road. The resulting increases clutch plate durability and produces short-firm shifts that are perfect for hot rods as well as work trucks. In addition, when using the included optional low hold 1-2 shift valve, the transmission will stay in low gear with lever in manual low position. With this kit you can expect to increase trans performance, durability and longevity. This kit was installed on a 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner but the steps showcased will apply to most trans valve bodies.
This kit will work for:
A343F:Reprogramming Kit 1985 - 2017
A340E:Reprogramming Kit 1985 - 2017
A340F:Reprogramming Kit 1985 - 2017
A340H:Reprogramming Kit 1985 - 2017
A341E:Reprogramming Kit 1985 - 2017
Chris has reported that his Trans temps have also decreased overall with typical driving habits after doing this #sicmod.

Great video! I just pulled the AW4 VB from my XJ to do this job.
Quick tip on the deburring of the separator plate holes: Get a bigger drill bit (maybe 5/16 in this case) and turn it in the hole BY HAND with light pressure. The point of the bigger bit will clear the burrs from the edge of your hole. MUCH easier and faster than trying to trim it away with a razor blade. :)
Thanks for the tip Mike.
Hows it working out so far? About to order one for my 2000 XJ. Any advise?
@@tmmyjayMy XJ still has the front axle out. My trans is back together, but I've yet to fire it up and drive it. 2024 goals! 😂
Awesome video. Great tips. Gives me the confidence to do a mod that I have been thinking about for a while now
Waow, you saved my life. A client brought in his truck with the transgo kit to install. Wenn I saw the instruction manual my head burned. Thanks guys that you explained everything so patently. I know now where it goes. Thank you so much!
Great to hear the Sean and Chris's video helped you out. Good luck with the job and you're very welcome Reinhard.
You guys make some thing really complicated look easy.
HAVE TO DO IT STEP BY STEP. GOOD LUCK
Im about to install the SK340 kit in my A343f. This video will help a ton. Thank you!
You're welcome, and good luck with the job
This video was nuts!!! Great work
Great video as always, excellent step by step explanation 👌
This is going to be my next project.
Thanks for stopping by the comments and come back in j case you have any questions along the way. We appreciate your comments as we know you have been a subscriber since day 1!
Hopefully this helps some people out who were thinking about doing this mod! Sicmods 🤘🏼
Chris, your build is upper echelon! Great video guys.
Awesome work guys!!
Can’t wait to do this on mine.
Great video ! I'm doing this on an a650e which is very similar so I find this super helpful
Thanks Jared. Good luck with the job.
@@TimmyTheToolman Thank you !
Wow, so helpful! Thanks broz
Amazing job guys
Nice!!!! Thx for the video
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO. EXELENT!! GREAT EXPLANATION
You are welcome!
Firm shifts ftw! Sic Mods!
Future sicmod in sight😎
Thanks for the info!
You're welcome!
Great ideas🥰
That intro music um... what are the kids saying? --- slaps.
What were the symptoms of the transmission that lead you to the faulty solenoid? I'm trying to chase down an issue with my 1st gen Tacoma (A340F Trans) which has some jarring shifts from Drive to Reverse when at a stop. U-joints are good and recently lubed. Driveshaft carrier bearing appears to be okay. Maybe, the previous owner installed a kit like this? Chris mentioned the Drive to Reverse shift is firm.
Yes shifting into reverse in general not even just from drive feels very jerky. The symptom that lead me to the solenoid was when I don’t fully stop at a stop sign (rolling stop) and then I press the gas I get a weird shift/loss of power between 1-2 shift. If I fully stop it doesn’t happen at all, new solenoid actually didn’t end up fixing this problem after driving it for a while. That solenoid definitely wasn’t functioning though 😅..
Hello, does this allow TCC in 1st/low gear?
Been thinking about this kit for my 03 tundra. But I'm weary because it has 350k miles. As of now the truck runs great, but I've got some upgrades that I feel would be a good combo with the Transgo shift kit. Long tubes, TRD duals, 4.10 gears, LSD, etc.
Getter Dun!
Fantastic video. Unless I overlooked, where did you order the VB gaskets? Thanks in advance and thanks again for sharing this great video.
Look in the video description of this video for the parts list for the Valve Cover Gasket job. ruclips.net/video/N5fAXAuGozI/видео.html
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeshhhhh beast mode
Hi, thanks for the video. Will this kit work in conjunction the sonnax zip kit on a 97 t100 a340f?
No clue. I think you might have to ask the manufacturers of both kits to find out.
Masters, I have a question, you can put a larger spring in the valve body oil accumulators, a mechanic was changing the accumulator spring of a Chevrolet L460 transmission and I wonder if that can be done with Toyota transmissions, 4runners 3rd gen are a little slow and the 4runners from 2003 onwards accelerate and respond better, maybe if they upgraded the transmission accumulator springs from a 2003 4runner to a 97 I think it would have more strength because when the accumulators push the oil harder you will have more response, Maybe one day they can try it, I would be happy to do it if an update could be made to the accumulators
We're not sure. We just installed the parts that came with the kit.
Great video as usual, you guys are awesome.
Do you recommend the Transgo kit for a daily driver?
I have to flush the transmission on my '00 4runner and I was considering installing it once I am there.
Thanks!
It can be suitable for a daily driver. But keep in mind this kit is meant for race applications and shifting will be more harsh. I like how smooth my 4Runners shift personally, expect my supercharged one.. I would def do it on that one.

Thanks for the response Sean.
This is what I was hoping to hear.

Thanks and thank you transgo! I'm going to get it! Does the kit work on 4x4 trans?
Yes, this installation video was completed on a 2000 Toyota 4Runner 4x4.
- Sean
Thank you for this video, now I have the confidence to attack this upgrade so my trans can handle my SC install. Do you have a link for the paperwork used in this video? Did it come with the transgo kit? I have a 99 runner so might be a bit different instructions.
The paperwork/documentation comes with this kit in the box but they also have a digital copy on their website.

Unless you’re making 6-800 whp, you’re not gonna break your A340E with just a TRD SC, and 😊this isn’t going to beef anything up, it’s just a shift kit!
friend because the third selenoid does not click as if it were glued, today I am testing and mine does the same but if I put it with the o-ring facing up it clicks
Good to know an o-ring helps with that connection.
can i ask if all model of PRADO 120 share the same gearbox?
Iam having a 3rz engine with All Wheed Drive model, tx
Your question is above our pay grade. We have zero experience with the Prado models. Your question would be better answered on a Toyota forum or maybe a dealership could help you. You just need to find out what model Aisin transmission you have.
Hi dear .. where can i find the jzs161 aristo 2jz gte 4 speed auto a340e valve body gasket?
I would check with your local Toyota dealer.
¡Gracias!

my trans shifts rough when its cold but after warming up she shifts real smooth, might be something Id be doing
It's normal for them to shift rough when cold and smoother when warm. Transmissions shift better when the fluid is up to operating temp. As the temp goes up, the fluid thins out and allows for smoother shift.
hah..."I need to you for 10mins" - wife. Two hours later
Have to do the honey do list happy wife happy life I can vouch for it. Great job guys & no parts left over great
I'm a bit confused on the low hold feature, what would it be used for? Would it mean if installed you could bump into 1st by accident at 60mph instead of it being locked out?
Maybe contact Transgo and ask if they can explain its benefit to you better.
@@TimmyTheToolman considering installing one of these kits, could you explain why you decided not to add the 1st hold mod?
I believe the low hold mod allows for engine braking in 1st gear/LL within a limit dictated by the impeller in the TC. I say within limits because the TC still won’t lock up in 1st. Would be a great addition for wheeling to avoid the runaway feel on the downhill?
so say getting off the highway feels like the truck slows down way too much is that a solenoid issue?
Solenoids handle shifting… do you have bigger tires on your truck? And/or mud terrains?
- Sean
How did you find the right part number for the 3 transmission solenoids?
To speak for Chris, it was definitely a challenge to find the right ones. If you have a 2000 limited with a push button 4wd shifter like Chris has, then the solenoids we link in the video description should be the right ones for that platform. He basically had to remove them first and then he compared them with pictures that PARTSOUQ had to get the right style with the right mounting brackets attached.
@@TimmyTheToolman Thanks! I called the local dealership and provided the VIN number of my 97 4runner but they could not tell which solenoid to order. When I plan on doing the Transgo kit, I will then pull the solenoid.
Sic Mod!
This clip can clear my transmission trouble, but " I hate silicone sealant "
FIPG is far superior to paper, metal or cork gaskets. The reason it's superior is it can flow into imperfections in the metal that the others can't. It can make the difference between no leak and a leak.
My garage floor is getting slick just by me watching. What do you guys normally use to cleanup your floors after a day of wrenching?
Nothing specific, we just soaked up the trans fluid with a bunch of rags. That type of cement inside the garage doesn’t absorb the fluid. But some simple green works well and auto parts stores have degreasers for floor cleaning as well.
Use Super Clean, works better than the Simple Green
I used a a squeegee to try to get as much fluid into a drain pan then soaked up the rest. Laundry detergent and a push broom to scrub works wonders for getting oil stains out of concrete though
Is there about in edmonton Alberta that can do this. I bought this kit. And i cant even find someone to do it
You'd have to find a shop that specializes in modifying vehicles. This is a job that normal automotive shops or dealerships wouldn't want to take on.
Quote coming your way shortly 😎
Hi guys. I need to rebuild my A340E transmission for my Toyota Tundra and this is an affordable option which says is good for increased torque and towing. I'm buying a few beefier internals such as raybestos clutch discs, etc, so is this kit something you recommend. I'm not supercharging the v8 or anything, it's just a work truck but optimal towing matters to me. Thanks for the help and any advice you can give.
Yes, we think the Transgo kit is a good way to go. If you're already going to have the transmission torn apart, it will give you firmer shifts and reduce clutch plate wear. I'm curious, who's going to rebuild it?
@@TimmyTheToolman I am actually with aid of a friend. I bought a rebuild kit from OPT which comes with a manual and there is a fantastic 3 part video series of a college instructor rebuilding one (Michael Fleming). So between those two I should be ok. I plan to photo each step and take my time. I will probably buy a torq converter and will likely replace one set or more of the planetary gears as I read they are prone to fail in the early year Tundras. There’s also another guy on youtube, an Australian guy who does a lot of transmission videos including how to properly test and clean solenoids. In short, I couldn’t afford a 4k rebuild so going DIY while also installing better components is my best option and saves $2000.
@@oldowl4290 I think I watched some of that series from the college instructor. The overdrive planetary gears for the 2001 and 2002 4runners are known to fail.
Good luck with the rebuild. We are hoping to do a video on rebuilding one fairly soon.
@@TimmyTheToolman FYI, I found out that the A340 issue is in fact not the gears but the torrington needle bearing between the OD planetary and ring gear and this is not just an 00-02 issue. Once that fails it in turn destroys the planetary gear set. It's a lubrication and overheating issue, such as with towing in overdrive where the torq converter is unlocking and continually downshifting, searching for lower gears. My friend is a master yota guy and after very thorough parts searching we found ZERO evidence of any actual part change numbers, supercession, upgrades, etc, for the 03+ years all the way up until the next get A750 series at which point some things do change. So the only remedy really is to put in an 06 trans into any year prior. I did however find just one trans company in Alberta Ca. that was previously rebuilding the OD gearsets with a larger torrington which also requires machining of the planetary race (pocket) where the bearing sits, in essence replacing the 1.5" OD bearing with a 2.0" OD bearing that has slightly thicker needles.
The problem however is they stopped making these a few years ago due to lack of parts to rebuild (because so many were shredded).. so they are no longer making this modded set! In a nutshell, this means anyone who has an A340 is driving a time bomb as far as I'm concerned. The only #1 thing people can do immediately, is replace that bearing.. especially every 100k miles for preventative measure and if possible find a way to install a larger one, machine the race, etc. I actually called countless places nationwide trying to get a new/used gearset and only 1 place had a set..only one. I was extremely lucky to get it. If you want a new set from Toyota just the planetary alone is $1000 and includes no mods. I got my used set (planetary, ring, sun, etc) for $200. I'm also installing a slightly larger transmission cooler, derale 13011 thermostat and a MaxTow temperature gauge.
@@oldowl4290 Wow, thanks for sharing all that information. I guess I'll just hope my trans doesn't implode.
So... I haven't been on here for a while but uh, where's tim?
He’s hiding. Check out our other most recent videos.
The one thing I do not like regarding my Tacoma's A340E is kickdown: its too late and forces me too deep in the thottle going around town to make it come in and feel safe about it more often than not. Typical situation is this: I'm just into third gear [near 40mph or so] and a tight freeway on-ramp or merge demands quicker acceleration or I need to avoid some knucklehead and leave them in the rear view. If pavement is wet [I have an open diff] full throttle to get the kickdown is a dumb to insane move so... its unusable about 75% of those times I might want it. I'd like kickdown to hit around 2/3 throttle or so. Presently, a 2/3 throttle at lower speeds just loads the engine down and the go factor just doesn't really exist at non freeway speeds. Is a shift kit or reprogramming kit a fix for this, or an adjustment of some kind?
I don't think this Transgo kit will change how much throttle input it takes to get the transmission to kick down. If you have an earlier yeah 1st Gen Tacoma with the throttle body that has 3 cables going to it (throttle, cruise control and kick down), you can take slack out of the cable to make the kickdown more responsive. You simply loosen the 14mm nuts for the transmission kickdown, make the adjustment to take some but not all of the slack out of the cable and lock it back into the bracket with the 14mm nuts. You can easily figure out which cable is the trans kickdown by seeing where the cables run too. The trans kickdown runs back under the rig to the transmission. Hope this helps.
Can you message me in trying to find a rear e locker actuator
We don't have one but I have a suggestion of where you might be able to get one. Josh Young runs a business in Washington called PNW 4runner Connection. He parts out 3rd and 4th Gen 4runners. You can contact him via his Facebook Page. facebook.com/PNW4RunnerConnection/ Tell him Timmy the Toolman referred you.
From where I can get this kit
Open the video description by clicking on "More" and the video description will expand out. You'll then see a link to the kit.
Do this kit is the same for Tacoma 3rd gen ?
No, it would work for the 1st Gen Tacoma.
@@TimmyTheToolmanthank you for answer . What about the smaller shift kit ?
@@Paddockguys I don't understand your question. What smaller shift kit?
@@TimmyTheToolmanSK 340
@Gwero11 So, are you asking if we've installed the smaller kit? Can you please use more words to describe what you're asking? If you're asking if this other kit will work for your 3rd Gen 4runner, I don't know. I'll leave it up to you to do that research.
Has anyone used this kit on an XJ?
The chances of somebody answering your question on our channel is slim to none. You're better off asking your question on a Jeep forum or Jeep Facebook group.
How’s the kit
Chris has reported that it definitely made the shifts a bit more ‘crisp’? Not sure if that’s the right word to describe it, but ultimately it made the shifts more noticeable.
- Sean
@@TimmyTheToolman I recently bought it and want to use the truck setting and not the hot rod. Any suggestions?
it was painful to watch him take apart the valve body with no little impact driver!! Why would you punish yourself that way?
I don't know if Chris owns a small impact driver. With small fasteners like that, I also like to feel what's going on with a standard ratchet. Less chance of snapping off a fastener. I do like my Milwaukee cordless ratchets and I probably would have used one of them to speed up the time to remove all the bolts. I would break free the bolt using the cordless ratchet like a standard ratchet and then use the electric assist to spin it out much faster. I definitely agree with Chris not using any electrical assist to install the bolts due to the higher chance of cross-threading or snapping off a bolt.
@@TimmyTheToolman oh yeah for putting it together 100% but taking all those well lubed bolts OFF? I’d use battery power every day.
@@FK-we1dp what can we say? Chris is a glutton for punishment, even from the wifey! 🤣
@@TimmyTheToolman lol you guys rock

Im no mechanic, just watching this out of curiosity.
We agree it was a bit on the messy side. That is a great analogy. Working on vehicles is a lot like medical surgery.
