Got my bellhousing and clutch kit in the mail today. The Toyota 3.0L disc is needed for the 3.8 GM pressure plate. the clutch disc measures 9 3/8 which fits perfectly inside the GM 9 11/16" pressure plate.

Here's my 97 4cylinder Dodge Dakota bellhousing which bolted right up!!!


Looks like the Dakota uses a sensor on the flywheel maybe? Not sure what that thing is for but it probably has no value to me here.




The 4runner uses a lever type shift fork, while this dakota setup uses the fulcrum on the other side of the bell. Second problem is this setup was probably designed on an input shaft where the collar was longer and stretched out further. This TO bearing is only halfway on in this pic. Its also the wrong diameter. I will have to use a combination of the dakota slave and shift fork, with the 4runner TO bearing. I think it will come down to creating a new shift fork or modifying this one.
