Transmission Questions

i took the autocrapic out of my 4runner. i want to put in a manual transmission.

I can buy a r150f that is missing the bell housing

what bell housing would i need to bolt this up to my 87 turbo block?


will a w56 bell housing work? or am i going to need adapters?

im sure this question has been asked before, but i must not be typing in the right search terms.

thank you all for your time and help.

You just need a bell housing of another turbo truck with the manual in it and it will bolt right up to your block I put the r150f transmission onto my 22re and had to buy the turbo bell housing
My bell cost 100 bucks + shipping probably could have got a better deal but I wanted to finish my 4wd convertion

Why not just buy a W56 and be done with it? The 150 is going to stick you with a chain drive T-case anyway.

i think ill be okay with the chain driven t-case, im not a hard core wheeler and i have access to an r series transmission, for really cheap.

im having trouble finding a good w56 trans with tcase in my budget.


i just want to drive my truck, its killing me looking at it sit in my back yard.

What's your budget? I've bought a few with case for under 300 bucks.

He says he can buy an R150, not he has one. I have many friends in the more hardcore side of the WA Toyota community and could easily find him a better fit for his application than an R150 and weaker chain drive case if I knew his budget. As far as throwing money around goes, I'm on track to make maybe 20k this year most of which is eaten up by my bills. Big ticket purchases for me are made carefully to get the best part possible and in this case, I don't believe the R150 to be the best part possible.

i was looking to spend around 300 or less.

You can buy a twin stick kit from Marlin for a chain drive transfer case.

Applications:

•Top Twin Shift version is used on top shifting transfer cases or on the rear of a dual transfer case
•Forward Twin Shift version is used on forward shifting single transfer cases made from 1984-1988
V6 Twin Shift version is used on chain drive V6 transfer cases from 1988-2004
•R10 Twin Shift version is for use on a rear, top shifting transfer case behind an MC08 R10 rotated adapter. This model has levers that are angled 10 degrees allowing the levers to stand straight up when used on the rotated dual case setup

Twin shifters can not be used on a single transfer case behind a W56 C or D model transmission but can be used on the rear case of a dual case setup on these transmissions. High/Low and 2wd/4wd shift knobs are provided unless otherwise requested.
