Can I use the W56/Tcase from a '93 in my '90
I finally got a line on what I think is a good local W56 to swap into my truck. It's from a 93 and my truck is a 90. Will this work?

Cmon brian, you should know they stopped making top shift cases in 1988.

The short answer, is yes a 1990 W56 case will fit a 93 W56 trans, and vise versa.
marlin used to have ALL this info on his website, but looks like they are revamping the website, as the old links are all dead

I didn't think that part mattered because I'm just gonna swap the old trans/tcase with the new trans/tcase. I think they're all forward shift for these years anyway.

Shut up. I'm old and tired. 
I didn't pay attention to the year part. My bad.

Technically the 1990 is a W56C (forward shift) and the 93 is a W56E (also forward shift). If i remember correctly, the only difference is in internals. Flanges, mounting, and shifters are all the exact same. Just make 100% sure they are both W56 transmissions with the gear drive cases behind them. While rare, Toyota also offered a G58 trans which had a chain driven case.
