mpanzar Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I am trying to identify which transmission i have. The PO swapped the 4 speed manual out for a 5 speed manual on my 1986 Sunrader with a 22RE. Ive look at several images on some websites like Marlin Crawler but nothing is popping out. i smell some trans oil inside the cab so i was hoping to replace the the gasket and small shifter boot, i just dont know which one to buy. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpanzar Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Regarding the oil smell, i have already replaced the rear output shaft seal and all the seals on the speedo cable output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The last 2 charts here have some transmission identifying info. There is a serial number on the imput bearing. Probably would have been easy to find when you were doing all that work http://www.lcengineering.com/LCTechPages/TECHGEARJANUARY.html Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 It looks pretty dry to me there were pretty good units, it's been apart Toyota used a grey sealant not red. The only problems I remember was 5th gear issues. Gear oil smell is distinctive and usually it has to be fairly hot to notice it. I see a slight drip at the speedo connection there is a tiny seal inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpanzar Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Those charts are from Marlin Crawler. They provide information about the application with respect to Toyota model year but nothing regarding a positive identifier on the transmission itself. I never had access to the input bearing unfortunately, i did the work mentioned above with the trans on vehicle. I think its a W55 but i cant find a way to be sure.

mpanzar Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 the case has since been cleaned when the seals were replaced on the speedo cable, the drip is likely from installation. the smell was almost immediate when i top off the fluid. there is a splash guard style seal usually on toyota shifters. As for the red sealant, that makes sense since the PO installed a 5 speed. Ive read about transmission swaps and many times different bell housings and trans combinations are used depending on where the trans is coming from.

Maineah Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The iron case 4X4 5 spd was the one with severe head bearing/seal issues, the early aluminum 5 speeds had some issues with 5th gear. I kind of remember different bellhousing mounts but that did not require dismantling the trans. In my former life I was the shop foreman for a large transmission shop I did all of the manual transmissions and I really don't remember them being known leakers.

mpanzar Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 I believe the reason this one is leaking is because there is a missing gasket, hence why i am trying to figure out which transmission i have so i can replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpanzar Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Heres the missing part.... i think From the image i realized the "baffle" is definitely not there.

Maineah Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 All though it may keep oil in it was used for vibration isolation that's why it has the 6 spacers so it can't be over tightened. It is a good part # more often than not the rebuilders used sealant because of the cost of the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpanzar Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) I agree with you regarding the cost. especially that particular part, i payed $35 which is a bit high comparatively speaking. Regarding the vibration, I believe it will be transmitted through the spacers. I believe the parts primary purpose is to serve as a baffle rather than vibration isolation. in any case, heres a few pictures showing without and with the baffle. I also replaced the bushing that was non existent. its much happier shifting now! Edited October 16, 2019 by mpanzar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
