akwcanoe Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Hi folks. Spent some time scrolling through various threads but life is short. So, I will jump the line and ask my question. I have a 1983 shorty Sunrader with 22r and a 4spd manual. The rest axle is out of an 87 and has a 4:88 rear end. I would like to swop in a 5spd. What are the options beyond the L52? What years of 4Runners would have comparable transmissions? The more options I have (years/vehicles) the more likely I can find one locally.

extech Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 i would imagine anything that came with a 22re Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewanderlustking Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 On the automatic trucks the ones that came with the Turbo 22RE were a bit beefier, I imagine the same will be true on the manual ones. This is a slightly obscure question, but I bet there is a chart/lost around somewhere. Google this: 1983 Toyota pickup 4spd to 5spd swap (No sarcasm or snarky meant by that lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 1985 to 1988 G54 out of a 22r, not 22re. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toycollector47 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 IIRC the 22RE-T (turbo truck) had a lower first gear. Pretty sure it was just 4x4 though, and I know they all most all got scooped up for rock crawler builds….(I am personally still looking for one tho if anyone knows of an available one!) So that’s probably a totally useless suggestion on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
