Hello All...

yes i have been reading... and reading... and im a bit confused... I have a 84 verified by the data plate 2wd truck... problem is that it's a 4 speed. but from everything that i have read they didnt make them with 4 speeds... only with 5 speed...

so does that mean that maybe this was built in 83 and sold in 84 which would make this an L something?

is there a place that i can look on the tranny to help identify the model?

Thanks...


Transmissions

Pickup and 4Runner Transmissions with 1st gear ratios.
L43 4 speed 79 - 80 3.67
L45 4 speed 81 - 82 3.93
L50 5 speed 81 - 82 3.93
L52 5 speed 83 3.93
G52 & G54 5 speed 84 - 88 (Carb) 3.93
W56 5 speed 85 - 95 (EFI) 3.95 Manual Hub Equipped Vehicles 89 and up Have W56, 89 and up ADD vehicles have G58.
R151F 5 speed 86 - 87 (turbo only) 4.31
G58 5 speed 89 - 95 3.93 ADD Equipped Vehicles
R150F (6 cyl) 5 speed 88+ 3.83

Identification:
G52/54 84-88' are twin stick, use a 8 bolt center section, 6 bolt gear t/case pattern, 21 spline output.
G58 89-95' twin stick, 8 bolt center, 9 bolt chain t/case, 26 spline
W56 85-88' (single stick), 89-95' (twin stick), 10 bolt center, 6 bolt t/case, 21 spline
R151F 86 - 87 (turbo only) will have two housings of four bolts each just like a G52, the difference would be the large rubber plug on the bottom of the bellhousing.

Your plate will tell you what tranny it came with. G40=4 speed. Noob

X2 your plate should tell you what your gear ratio is, your tranny, your motor, year all that fun stuff..

Doesnt matter, you should be swapping it for a w55 or w59 to get an overdrive.

I think he is looking at basic options for 4wd and thinking its the same for 2wd. I have found 2wd 4 speeds up till 1988.

I just bought an 89 2wd with a 4-speed.

I may swap it to a 5-speed if I don't do a complete motor/trans swap to something completely different.

ok... so where can i read this information... Would love to learn but i cant find anything on reading Data plates... or information on identifying a transmission after i have pulled it from the frame... there should be some place on the tranny that i can identify it with...


thanks all
