I currently have an automatic in my 85' 4Runner. I have stumbled across a W56-A 5spd and transfer case locally. It has 100,000 miles on it. The owner is willing to take $250 for it.

I realize InchWorm has come up with an adaptor InchWorm so that I could run a gear driven TC behind my auto...but is that the best way to go...thus being able to run run a crawl box as well. Seems like the 5spd would be easier/less expensive to service in the long run.

The thing I hated most about my auto on my 00' 4Runner was the fact that the torque convertor would never catch up on steep descents and I had to use the brakes way too much...and in most case would lock up tires causing the ass end to come around...not good in my opinion.

So should I pick up the tranny & tc and swap it out over the winter?
