The 94 SR5 V6 MT that I am acquiring has not had a clutch in 166k

So.... based on a quick drive, it prolly needs to happen soon.

The owner has been quoted $800 so I just offered to take $800 of the price.
Seems like a deal to me.

Based on that and fact that I want to go ahead and install headers, I am thinking of just pulling the engine and doing it all at once.

I have access to a hydraulic engine lift and even a full shop with a lift if necessary. I have removed engines from a variey of MT sedans in my youth and also did an engine swap on a Series II Land Rover with a V8. I short, I know what I am doing.

So, if you have done it, how long ? Whats are the tricks ? Will it come out with the tranny on ?

P.S. I am running down a factory manual.

OK,

I am answering my own questions here....

Leave the tranny on https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...t=removing+3.0

No need to take out the engine to do a clutch. Or headers. Seems like it would be harder that way, not easier.

He just wants to play with the lift and tools at the shop he's got access to, lucky bastage.

Hah...

Busted, wanna play with the toys....

I was just reading what a PITA the headers can be and my brain starting running by itself.... I hate when it starts operating independantly like that.

I searched well but no Clutch replacement write up ??

Its not that big of a deal to do so with the tranny attached either... I did a 92 SR5 manual last Saturday in a few hours with one other persons help... Sounds like you have a nice setup so that would make it even easier/quicker than what I went through... Good Luck!

the clutch part of your job is really easy IMO... i've done clutches/engines on a few toyota's, nissan's and old datsuns and i think the 4runner went the quickest.... when i did the clutch in my v6 'runner i think it took me about 2 hours to have the tranny out, clutch off and flywheel at the machine shop.... i just used the ol haynes manuel... i do have a body lift which makes it much easier to get to the tranny bolts... might think about replacing your slave cyl and starter contacts while its all pulled apart... i also used a tranny jack for the first time on this job which is much better the bench pressing the tranny into place... also inspect the rear main seal, i found mine leaking pretty good onto the clutch... good luck with the engine break down, i used 3 or 4 days part time to take apart, and 2/3 days to put it back in, all in all it was apart for about 2 weeks.... -rowan
