Good day to one and all. I am hoping this post finds each one of you in the best of health, in these times.
I am having an issue with my son's 92 4x4 5 speed Yota, I am hoping someone out there can help, Thanks.
There is a grinding noise in 1st 2nd 3rd and 5th gear only while accelerating. Can someone share their thoughts
on what they believe it might be? Thanks.

 

Could be the counter shaft bearing in the transmission. 4th gear is straight through and doesn't use the counter shaft, thus no noise. Probably a transmission tear down is in your future.

 

Like RJR says.
Mine sounded like semi on the fwy except on 4th gear. I was on my Route 66 trip and was still able to accelerate and run fast on freeway. A few Yota bros here said I could still drive back to So Cal with it, but being in TX at that time, I figured it would be safer and less expensive to have tranny rebuilt there. Good decision. For $1385 I drove a "new" transmission home.

 

The first thing I did after hearing the noise was going for a diagnostic check at a transmission repair shop.
I was told the trans was not the problem. After hearing your thoughts I will go for a second at AAMCO tomorrow.
Thanks

 

Good day to one and all. Diagnostic on the tranny will be completed tomorrow, I believe he mention something about
the front input being bad. I will get all results tomorrow. Thanks

 

Unfortunately you still have to pull the trans to get to the front input bearing so make sure they take a good look at clutch, throwout bearing and flywheel while in there and assess the trans while out. You don’t want to pay for labor again in the future if it can be avoided.

 

Good day to one and all .It is confirmed by AAMCO that the issue is the front bearings that is gone. They want $2300 not to mention tax. And if their is other
parts that needs replacement, that would be more. In these times, where money is funny, I might just look for a tranny from the junk yard and do the
swap on my own to save some cash in times like this. Wish me luck. Thanks for all your positive input guys. When I am done with the swap, when I find one, I will give a feed back on my
results and accomplishments. By the way, this would not be a rebuild that they would do, this would be a repair.

 

a fully rebuilt transmission from marlin crawler goes for half that price. obviously not installed, but they know toyota transmissions.

 

That’s not a uncommon repair, and there’s a good chance one from a wrecking yard is in need.
At least the rebuilt from Marlin would have Koyo, Naichi, NSK bearings and Japanese seals and gaskets.

 

Used tranny would be as old as gour truck and as worn out, if not more.
Properly rebuilt would be the way to go IF you plan to keep your truck. I paid $1385 for mine in TX in 2016.

 

Aamco considers replacing all the bearings and worn parts a “repair” and not a rebuild!? What the...
I’m one of the first to draw distinct lines between repaired, rebuilt, and reman. The word REMAN frequently gets tossed about and mislabeled.

This must have something to do with their warranty. I’m guessing that even though you paid them to disassemble the trans and replace all bearings, seals, gaskets, and evacuate synchros, gears, etc. if something fails soon after and it’s not one of the parts they replaced then you’re on the hook.

 

Good day to one and all . I have a question I would like to ask, hoping someone can assist me. The extended cab 22re 4x4 and the standard cab 22re 4x4, are they compatible
when it comes to the transmission? thanks

 

for the same year, probably. perhaps even for the same generation truck.

but you don’t specify what years you are comparing, so who knows?

 

That would be a 1990 extended cab 22re 4x4 ? Mine is 1992 single cab 4x4. Thanks

 

The trucks respective vehicle ID plates will declare what model transmissions they were built with.

 

The trans that I bought was from a wreck, 17900 miles, I could not get the vehicle ID to match, but the truck was driven by seller before wreckage.
Looks identical to mine, so I am looking forward to a swap. Thanks for all the help guys. After completing the swap and a test run, I will give run down
on my accomplishments. Thanks again.

 

good day to one and all.I wanted to give a recap concerning the trans.
I finally installed it last night, went on a test drive and like always running
strong, well it is a toyota. Thanks for all the help and feedback.
