I got a 22re and W56 tranny out of an 86 pu with 70k miles. The clutch looks brand new, so the only things I'll do is install a new throwout bearing and get the flywheel turned. When I pull the auto, I may replace the pilot bearing and rear main seal depending on what I find.

I'm glad the 4runner is not my daily driver. I've spent a couple of hours on it each day this week and it's been slow going.

The two bolts that connect the top of the bellhousing to the block are a real pia and have taken the most time to get out. I put a jack under the tranny crossmember and disconnected it. That allowed me to lower the tranny/engine enough to make those bolts accessible from underneath. Even then, I had to use a very long extension and swivel attachment on my wrench.

The only other thing I've noticed is the rediculous amount of crap attached to the tranny. Double and triple check that you have everything disconnected before you pull it.

I hope to finally pull the auto today after work, I'll let you know how it goes.
