TH350 TO TOYOTA 4WD T/C MODEL NO. VF1A
1987 & UP TOYOTA TRUCK 4WD VEHICLES
GM TH350 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC
The General Motors TH350 has a case length of 21-1/2", 13 bolts for holding the oil pan in position and is available in
two different engine to transmission bolt patterns. The case is available with a Chevy bolt pattern that has the top two
holes 8-1/4" apart or in a Buick bolt pattern that have the top two holes 7" apart. The rear side of the transmission case
should have a square bolt pattern that uses 4 bolts. There are several various lengths of output shafts that the
transmission have been furnished with and you must make sure the proper shaft has been installed into the transmission
for use with the Advance Adapter transfer case kit. The speedometer gear is normally located in the tailhousing, but
when adapting it to the transfer case, the location will change to the back side of the transfer case. The rear transmission
support is located in the main case just forward of the tailhousing connection. This can be used for supporting the
crossmember on some installations, but most of our kits provide support on the new adapter housing.
When installing the new transfer case adapter, make sure that the coupler and the output shaft do not bottom out.
When assembling the adapter housing to the transmission case, we have provided you with a new square-type "O" ring
seal to prevent fluid leakage. This seal is a stock GM item that is used on all TH350 installations.
If you have selected a transmission that has the old style modulator, then we recommend the use of the Advance
Adapters adjustable modulator, Part No. 716010. This will also allow for additional driveshaft clearance.
All installations will require the use of a transmission cooler. The cooler can be either installed in the radiator or a remote
location is acceptable. The transmission shift control can either be a Hurst floor mounted type shifter or sometimes the
existing column shift can be modified on certain applications.
