Can you take a 2000 A340 "F" from a 2000 tacoma and put a t-case from a 89 - 95 R150 on it so it can be used in a 1st gen 4runner?

If my memory is correct I think read a post about a custom adapter being made to accomplish this application - for big bucks?

I know about the speed sensor issues mating this tranny to a 3.0, but if I put this in my rig it will be mated to a 3.4 V6 with the 3.4 harness and ecu


Help a newbie?? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> anyone!

Hey Ozy,

The short answer to your questions is: "I don't know" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

The long answer is more interesting though...

I "think" that the transmissions are different and I will tell you why I think that. Both the 3.0L trucks (third generation) and the 3.4L trucks (Tacoma) used the R150F manual transmission, but the transfer case mounting (and obviously the transfer case) is different. Also, I *think* that Mechanic58 said that the transfer case used behind the automatic and manual Tacomas is the same (hopefully he will correct me if I am wrong). This leads me to believe that the 2000 auto tranny will not accept the VF1A chain drive transfer case from the 89-95 truck.

If you really want to talk to the "Toyota Genius" call Marlin Crawler at 559-25-CRAWL. He will know the answer.

I just found a tech article that answered my question
