AH my friend, but you are the one that is wrong here. I JUST DID IT. And you are correct, the automatic trans with THE SAME transfer case on it as the 5 speed R150 is 1 1/16" longer. I just failed to mention that. ALSO the automatics use a different mount because the adapter section (which is where the mount bolts) is different. I had an R150 from a '96 Tacoma and an Automatic from a '99 4runner...the transfer cases were EXACTLY the same, the only difference being the '96 had plugs installed where the ADD switches would go because it was out of a manual hub truck. I promise. Perhaps you're thinking of the earlier toyotas that had the passenger side drop. THOSE automatics used a totally different type of transfer case. I got one of them too. I wouldn't have posted that information if I wasn't sure I was correct. I promise. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
