Don't really know how to search for this and I haven't come up with anything just by searching w56. I have an 1985 4Runner that was all stock when I bought it to my knowledge. Last year I pulled the trans for a clutch job. The throwout bearing or clutch release bearing in the kit didn't fit and looked completely different than what I had. Long story short, we ordered a bearing from a 1994 pickup to match what I had. I am %100 positive I have a w56a case but I'm guessing I have w56d internals. Which is from a '93-'95 trans because of the release bearing. Anyhow, my transmission has started making a growling noise in every gear except 4th and I'm hoping I just need a new bearing. I've found a few kits online but they are all from early '80s - '91 Marlin Crawler sells kits up to a '91 but not newer. I'm afraid I need a '93-'95 kit but I'm just wondering if anyone knows if the bearings and possibly syncros would be the same from '85-'95 or if anyone has any input. Sorry for the long post.

 

give marlin a phone call (yes, you'll have to interact with another human being )

they are incredibly helpful even if you just need some advice or answers

 

Marlin Crawler sold me my clutch for my 93 pickup and it works great. Very friendly and very helpful.

 

Amazing. It's almost like you already knew I don't want to have to deal with anyone Irab haha. I found a used 87 trans and tcase for $200 with less than 130,xxx miles I guess I'm gonna put in in the meantime. Thanks for your replys.
