Difference in T-cases?
Hey I'm selling my transfer case out of my 1990 22re pickup, 5 speed W56 tranny. I got asked if it would bolt up to the V6 tranny (not sure what one he has). Are the Toyota t-cases pretty universal between the pickups?

Both trucks are 5 speed manuals. R150F and W56, I am looking at a chart but it doesn't say anything if the RF1A (W56 t-case) will bolt up to the R150F.
The R151F and W56 use the same t-case so I thought maybe the R150F would be compatible with the same t-case too.

Check with Marlin, not us. Nobody knows this stuff better than them. Looks like it will require an adapter.

the op wants to put the gear case behind a v6 manual tranny.
Marlin would know but I am willing to bet someone on here also knows .

check out the 2nd paragraph ..

"That mystery was about to become an area I understood much better when I located an R151F transmission from a 1986 turbo pickup. This poor R151 had had a rough life, as evidenced by at least two different colors of RTV on the seal surfaces of the cases. But the price was right, and if I am ever to fulfill my dream of swapping a V6 into my truck, I am going to need an R-series transmission! Plus, the advantage of the R151 is the way it mates to a V6 like an R150, but also mates to the geared transfer case (as long as you use a 23 spline input shaft) like a W56, my current tranny. And if I never actually do the V6 conversion, an R151 will be a definite improvement with its lower first gear and stronger design. Besides, my W56, though still serviceable, was going to need an overhaul before long, so why put money into a dead end? Roll back the dark clouds of ignorance, here I come! I bought the R151, and brought it to its new home."

Read the descriptions. All but the 4.7 adapter are for 5 speed or auto trannys. Only the 4.7 is auto only. I don't know that product line very well, but I'm guessing the 4.7 doesn't have a manual available.

Wow lets get things straight in this thread.
First: (btw all my comments are for the quoted text ABOVE each comment)
NO you CANNOT use a 4Cyl tcase on a V6 trans, without using an adapter kit AND changing the input shaft.
This and...
This are correct.
This is 100% wrong. The bolt pattern is completely different, not to mention the 90 truck is a gear driven case with a 21 spline input, and the V6 is a chain driven 23 spline case.
You merely read his sentence wrong. The r151 uses the same bolt pattern for the bellhousing-to-trans mounting as does the V6. Therefore, you can use the V6 bellhousing and put an R151F behind your V6 engine. Then, you have the strength of a V6 trans, with a 23 spline gear driven transfer case.
However, you cannot simply use a gear driven case behind the V6 transmission. If you could, there would be no reason for Marlin or Inchworm to sell/manufacture an adapter plate to bolt Gear driven cases to V6 transmissions.
So, recap. Can you use a 4Cyl case behind a V6 trans WITHOUT an adapter? NO. Does Marlin/Inchworm/AA sell an adapter to do so? YES.

Correct also. Toyota has never offered a manual trans behind ANY of their 8 cylinder truck motors in America.

is it late and I'm reading this wrong or what...

You are reading it wrong, and what the guy posted isn't really complete. The R151F (turbo) will only mate to a V6 motor if you use the V6 bellhousing. the R151F (turbo) trans also has a gear driven Tcase behind it, so you can swap a W56 tcase onto a R151F turbo trans IF you swap the input shaft to a 23 spline. You CANNOT put a gear driven case (from a W56, G52, or R151F) behind a V6 trans (R150F) without an adapter. Again, why would Marlin/AA/Inchworm bother selling an adapter if you could just simply bolt the case on to a V6 Trans?
