Webbie. What auto are you running on the conversion?

Thats sounding good. I like it. I just read somewhere that the td surf has a a343 which is quite a tough box. So this could be easier than I thoight. Sweet. Thanks Sideshow. Hopefully you're spot on. I definately want the surf. The one with the Recaro interior and sunroof would be nice.

OK for swapping the shaft but as I understand it the surf and soarer boxes have different speed sensors and the soarer auto would need the soarer sensors from its shaft hybrided onto the surf shaft. I understand this from the "verifying auto trans types and uses" post by MacroP.

I am adventurous but that can sometimes land me in trouble. Anyway it sounds like the only way to go. I'm still having fun understanding the speed sensors. i.e wich ones are on the surf auto and which ones are on the soarer and what needs to be put where. I can make signal convertors out of pic...

So it looks like the best idea is the a341 onto the transfer. I'm assuming by what I have read that the output shaft has to be changed/shortened on the a341 is it alright to just cut the shaft short as opposed to changing it? Then I also have to adapt the speed sensors? Or if I cut the shaft on...

Madmount does that mean I could buy an auto surf with a 340 and just bolt the 1uz up to it using the 1uz housing. Does the 340 in the surf have the extra clutches that the 340 for the 1UZ has?

I think the surf has a 343, I'll have to have another look at one.

I'm going to run the standard 1UZ ECU though. I just didn't think the surf box could be controlled by it without mods.

Allright I'll clarify. 1. I just happened to find this while googling and thought it may be of interest. e.g. It drives a 5 speed auto if you wanted to do a conversion. 2. I dont actually have a 1uz yet. I want to purchase a surf in australia and stick a 1uz in it in the easiest way...

I am aware of the tiptronic but this one is full auto.

I've been reading posts on here trying to work out the best/easiest way to put a 1UZ and auto into a surf. I was searching the net and found this site. I was thinking, to leave the origional auto in the surf I might use this controller. The auto control unit can control A340E*, A343E*, A650E*
