Short answer...yes...

If the 4-runner has the 3.0, then both the 3.0 and trans are compatible. Although you should look for a matching transmission (i.e. find one with a standard if yours is a standard) to make things easier (unless of course you want to change from auto to standard, then this would be the time to do so).

I recommend looking for a 92-95 3.0 (4runner or p/up) with matching transmission, that would be easiest...although...

Many on here, which I am sure you will soon find out, do not recommend putting that same engine back in. You will get much more bang for your buck if you go with a 3.4...but now you are talking engine conversion...depends on how much bucks you got...

Is it slipping or grinding?

Have you ruled out the clutch?
