I have a 98 Toyota Tacoma with a rusted frame, missed the recall or should I say Toyota dealer screwed me. I found a lot of trucks with automatic trans. My question is will a 5speed 4cyl fit into a auto trans 4cyl frame? Are there any other options you can think of? There is nothing good to the frame from front to back. :confused:

 

4x4 frame is the same auto or manual.

 

The frame is the same but the transmission crossmember location for a 4cyl auto is different from every other engine/trans combo of the generation.

 

So what your saying is, as long as it's a 4cyl the frame will work whether or not it has a auto trans or 5 speed?

 

That's the exact opposite of what I said.

 

Yes but you'll need to fab up different motors mounts and I think tranny mounts? Definitely the cross member mounts..

Sorry I forgot to mention that it is a 2wd.
