1990 4runner v6 4wd. My auto tranny is on its way out and I am pondering doing a 5 speed swap. How difficult is this to do? Does anyone know of a How-To write up that anyone has put together? Are there any conversion kits that would include all the misc parts needed?

Thank you!

he has lots of pics

 

I`m also doing this swap

 

Dude.. Really... OP needs to search.

Now, i did the swap, and IMO it was the the single handed best thing i could have ever done to my truck. its fantastic.

this is the only picture, sorry!



Really its an awesome swap, you discover loads of power...
I dont know about what both of you have gearing wise, but my 94 came stock with 4.88s and 31s matchd with the auto. the stock 5 speed came with 4.56's and 31's. I'm overgeared and its fantastic...

i went from 14ish mpg mostly highway to averaging about 18ish mostly highway.... i can pull every hill from my house to canada (about 2 hour drive) on 405->I5 in 5th gear and not downshift once.

3500rpm doing 70 ftw!!! :rock:
