Reason I'm asking is my O/D lockup solenoid is shorted and I'm planning on replacing all 3 solenoids while I've got the pan pulled. The OEM units are pretty pricey, and I'm hoping someone has some experience with some quality aftermarket replacements. I've found a 3-piece kit from Rostra and some others that appear to be from the same supplier. Any recommendations or reviews on aftermarket solenoids? Thanks...
I am thinking Toyota doesn't make them, but can't be certain. More likely the company Aisin. The A340E is said to be manufactured by AisinWarner. Aisin makes Japanese parts, and Borg Warner doesn't exist any more after being consumed by Tremec. So you might try and find the parts that way, especially if you have a number right on it. I wouldn't be suprised if it is NipponDenso either. Or Mitsubishi.
My friend works for Borg Warner, they exist.
Personally I wouldn't mind buying a used one and grabbing a Rostra set or a used set for a 'next time' in case it happens, the tranny pan isn't hard to drop. Wish I had one lying around but the N/A tranny I have in the garage doesn't have the valve body anymore, just the pipes and some screws/springs from it.
