so im looking at doing the 5 speed swap this weekend.i have a couple question i need answers for.....

1 i need to know if the bolts from the flex plate and the bolts for the flywheel are the same?

2 also are the bolts that hold on the clutch plate the same as the ones that hold the torch converter?

1) I honestly dont remember.

2) No they are different.

I know we had to run to Shmucks last minute and pick up bolts for... something in that general area. Cant recall what though...

You have my number, feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, the girls gonna be gone this weekend, so let me know if you'd like a hand as well



(^ that sounded gayer than I thought...)

I did this so long ago, and I don't remember all the details, however I do remember that the flywheel bolts taken from the automatic are too short for the conversion. Probably about 3/4" of an inch too short.

Birdbrain

THATS what it was!!!! I knew it had to do with the flywheel...

srozell

Yeah, I woulda run to shmucks too, but it was 2:00 a.m. when we got that far.

Overall, I would say the job went really smooth though.

guess i will be calling toyota to see how much and if they have them in stock and the sizes and that for the bolts to make sure i have them for sat... and matt if u want to get out of the house and drive down help would be great.

Birdbrain

Why does that sound familiar...

They will rape you, shmucks had em for like 5 bucks?

Sure man, just gimme a call!

2DoorRunner

Any parts store should carry some flywheel bolts. They were like 10 bucks for a set for my 4.3.
Some grade 8 bolts would probably be fine too, its not like your running crazy power or anything. But get the right ones if you can.
Same with pressure plate bolts, grade8 and call it good.

For th M/T rear driveline length..

Measure from this point:

to this point:

i got 42.5"

I want to say the automatic is like, 39.5 give or take.

so the 5 speed is in and running, drove it to work today and the rpm at 60 where at 2650 to 2750 and at 70 at 2850 to 3000 so not too bad for gearing wise, now i just need to get some 33s and put under it,

justin_4runner

just thought i would put how much i payed for each item just to give people an idea of how much this swap cost.


1. trans and slave cly. 100.
2. pedals 10.
3. master 5.
4. hard and soft lines 5.
5. shift boot 5.
6. fly wheel 60.
7. clutch 140.
8. flywheel and clutch bolts 15.
9. rear drive shaft 30.
10 speed sensor 20.

just to get an idea... total 400.00

You need to jumper the neutral safety switch.

You don`t want to ground it.
