Luvmeye22re

I have an 86 4Runner 22re auto and now that I'll have a motor that runs in the next month (in transit as we speak) I'm going to start slowy scavenging parts for my 5 speed swap. Here is my list so far.

w56/case (going to search for a combo)
Pedal set
Clutch master
Clutch kit
Clutch slave
Proper bolts for bellhousing (the top bolts are different correct?)
Plumbing (was thinking of bending/flaring my own lines, don't know size??)
BudBuilt single case crossmember

Now one spot I'm a little confused on. I'm not going to do much more to this truck than make it a decent weekend warrior with 2" lift and probably 32x10.5 Radial TSL's (and a rear Detroit ) so I'm wondering if I should try to find driveshafts from a truck originally equipped with a manual (length/flange pattern). Do tcase flanges from Autos have a different pattern? Also are the driveshaft lengths different? I'd imagine the front would still work fine since it doesn't really need to slip with articulation but it seems the rear would have to be lengthened to feel safe.

Also for the slave.....will I need to fab a bracket for the slave to mount to or get one off a donor truck? I could probably just go look but it's snowing like crazy out there. Also if I get a g52 etc. rather than a w56 do I need to worry about having an appropriately matched pedal set/clutch master/slave?

I'll be working two jobs here over the summer to get this thing whipped into shape and I want to do it right. I wish I could afford the motor and the 5spd swap at the same time but no cigar.

I can only really comment on two things....the driveline and SC bracket.

The SC bracket you can salvage. "cjcolson" is parting out. Check with him if you can't find one.

The driveshaft should be the same...length and flange. I checked out an '87 with an auto I was going to swap my motor and tranny into and would have been a direct swap. As I recall, there was even a knockout panel for putting in the clutch pedal. This was a while back, so I'm a tad unsure on that, though.

Oh, and you might even check with colson on the plumbing and shifter console....if you need one of those.

dont forget the wiring end of things, you'll either have to swap in a harness from the donor, or trick your neutral saftey switch
