Found! Toyo Koygo 5 Speed 4WD

[TexasDuck66]

Hey there, I am in search of a Toyo Koygo 5 Speed with a 4WD tail housing for my 83' 2.3L 4x4 with a TK4 and I just wanted the extra gear so I can travel to Tennessee and back when I go on leave from the military during holidays/vacation.

Have you considered a Mazda transmission instead?

I thought about suggesting that, but he will have to convert to the internal slave, different flywheel, different clutch. Something to consider though.

Either way there is a shopping list of parts to swap over. Mazda adds a few, but it's much easier to find and stronger.

It would be cheaper for me to find a TK5, which I finally did than switch over to a Mazda. I'd have to get a different transfer case, driveshafts, and probably a ton of other stuff.

By the way, isn't the toyo kogo a Mazda transmission? The later Mazda may be a different trans, but aren't they the same company?

I've always been a little vague on that. There's definitely some relationship between the two. But like you said, the one we typically call the Mazda trans is definitely a whole different animal.

I'm not sure if the TK4 and 5 are the same length or not. If they are then it's an easy swap. If you have to swap around driveshafts anyway, I'd go with the newer trans every time.

yes, both units are made by mazda..
