Okay, I'm Looking for More Advice then anything! I have a 92 4runner 4x4. And I'm gonna be doing a Transmission Swap here pretty soon! I've never a Transmission swap and i'm not looking forward to it! I do not have the money to put it in the shop so Could someone give me advice on where to start when taking it out?

Are you just taking old one out and putting same kind new one in ? Auto or 5speed?

Rent a tranmission jack, will make it MUCh easier.

Auto or Manual?

Pull drive shafts, dissconnect linkage/shifters/ un plug stuff, unbolt it from engine. Use a long 3' extension and a swivel for the top two PITA bolts. Then unbolt the crossmember, pull the transmission back and lower 'er down.

youtube search 4runner tranny swaps...watch some videos...search threads here.

A harbor freight 60-80 trans jack will be a good investment for starters. Red and white one will work.

How you fixed on tools? Buddies to help and not just stand around and drink your beer?

Its a job. It it a stick or auto?

You think the 450 lb One will work fine?

Do you think the 450 Lb Jack will work from harbor freight? And i could always just ask around too see who has a transmission jack. Is there anywhere i could possibly rent one? I called autozone and they said they only rent tools and not transmission jacks?
