Gear confusion on my 93 4runner.
My sticker on my door says I have 4.30 gear ratio, but my truck is a manual tranny, r150f.
Looking at the 4crawler webpage, it stated the 4.30 would/should be in a truck with auto tranny.
I'm confused and looking for some help.

The door stickers on both my 4Runners, a 93 and an 01, are incorrect so i wouldn't go by that. The easy way to check is jack up one rear wheel, spin it 2 complete turns and count the driveshaft turns. That'll give you the ratio.

The door sticker in my 93' lists a gear code of G284. If I read that correctly (and assuming the sticker is correct) I should also have 4.30's with the R150F.

I never trust the code. I always spin and count and if rebuilding the axle, just count the R&P and mark the diff. With all the older Toyotas I see, no telling who has done what in 20+ years to the vehicle. I saw a set of 5.71s the other day. They looked weird.

I have a question.... so different codes can be the same ratio? G284 is 4.30... my 4runner is 4.30 but my code is G282. the reason i ask is i have been searching high and low for a rear end for my 88 4runner and looking specifically for that code.

1993 4x4 4Runners with a V6 came with 4.30, 4.56, or 4.88 gears.
1993 4x4 4Runners with a 4 cyl. came with 4.10 or 4.56 gears.
Transmission type has nothing to do with it. Especially since with ALL 1993 4x4 4Runners, 4 cyl. and V6, a 5-speed manual transmission was considered standard equipment. The 4-speed automatic was only available as an option.
