A340E Transmission Shift Solenoid for Toyota Tacoma Cressida 2.8L 3.0L 1987-1992
This A340E transmission shift solenoid is a direct replacement component for Toyota Tacoma and Cressida models with 2.8L or 3.0L engines built between 1987 and 1992. It controls transmission fluid flow to engage gears smoothly and accurately. This solenoid is engineered to meet the original A340E transmission specifications.
Overview
This A340E transmission shift solenoid is an electro-hydraulic device that opens and closes to direct fluid pressure within the automatic transmission valve body. It is designed for the Toyota Tacoma and Cressida with 2.8L and 3.0L engines from 1987 to 1992. Replacing a faulty shift solenoid restores proper gear engagement and eliminates shift hesitation.

Good To Know
Q: How do I confirm this solenoid fits my vehicle? A: Check your transmission code on the plate under the hood or on the transmission case; it must read A340E. Also verify your engine displacement is 2.8L or 3.0L and model year is 1987-1992.
Q: Can I install this solenoid without removing the transmission? A: In most cases, yes, if it is a valve body-mounted solenoid, you can access it after dropping the transmission pan. Always disconnect the battery before working on electrical components.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
