Bought a 4Runnner knew it had a broken flex plate. Pulled transmission out and found the bell housing cracked in half. With this much damage what else should I replace or scrape it? 224k miles on it, body is very good.

Concerned that when I put it back together I will find more major issues.


Thanks

 

inspect the frame, mounts etc. Either someone jumped it or it was in accident.
If all you find is the broken bell housing, I would fix and drive on

 

At some point in it's life it has been wrecked. I can see the frame was repaired and what I am fairly certain is a dent in the oil pan that matches the cross member perfectly, it could have been made that way, but I doubt it. This is my first 4Runner so I am a true novice. I would say the accident happened a long time ago because clear coat on the hood has already started to peal.
