5 Speed Swap?
Hey guys, I'm new here but I own a 2000 4Runner SR5 and was wondering what all I would need for a 5 speed swap and where I can find the stuff to do it with? I had a tacoma and miss the 5 speed. Thanks

I would have to agree with you, but didnt you do a 5 spd swap from an AT in your car? I just want to know what all is needed? New ecu, tranny, clutch, etc. and around how much it can cost... and most importantly where to get it. Would there be anywhere on the web to buy one and have it shipped?

Yep. Put it down on paper and compare side-by-side. The swap will cost you way more than selling and buying another one.
It's funny because I looked everywhere for a 5-speed after I sold my AT Taco; I got it, and now I kind of wish I had an auto. They are easier to wheel and much better in traffic; which is just getting worse around here unfortunately.
I guess a tiptronic tranny would be ideal...

doh. I live in WA. Shipping would be a killer. Sorry bout that! If you were able to find a trans/case i have all the other parts necessary to do the swap, and shipping would not be terrible for that stuff.
FIRST, you need to find out if your crankshaft is machined to accept a pilot bearing. A lot of the 5VZ engines were not machined to accept them.

In SELECT year models we have found a difference in crankshaft machining from the factory. In these instances an engine from an automatic transmission application will not accept a pilot bearing.

You would also need both drivelines, pressure plate, clutch plate, flywheel with bolts, slave cylinder, master cylinder, clutch lines (hard and soft) Pedal assembly, shifters, clutch fork assy, and center console. Of course this would include all the hardware necessary.
You would also have to buy a new throwout and pilot bearing.
As for the ECU, i dont know what what would entail. Im keeping my ECU for the 3.4L swap in planning on doing. Im willing to give up the flywheel I would need, cause I can get that piece from work.
Probably about $750 shipped from me.

i did one on my 91 truck and it took honeslty 1 day but i had a donor rig..everything was bolt on exept for the master cylinder....BUT!!!! on a 3.4 the crankshafts are different from AUTO to 5 speed so the pilot bearing will not fit in the auto crankshaft....this is what i have heard anyway so...if you wanna do the swap you gotta get a motor to.........however i am sure you can find a bearing that will fit in there

And you dont want to just "find a bearing to fit in there". If thats the case, you would just be better off selling the Auto and finding a Manual.
