So I'm collecting parts to swap a 7MGTE into my 2WD '89 Toyota Pickup and have run into some big questions regarding transmissions that I'm having a hard time researching. Have been searching threads, here, but I end up with a lot of tabs open with lots of dead links, since it seems the time to do this was 15 years ago.
Anyway, where I'm at right now is I have a the transmission, drive shaft, and axle for the '89-'95 V6 2wd (5lug) Pickups (R150, G382) because I want to keep truck transmission ratios, or at least be able to swap rear housings to keep from cutting the, and foolishly thought all the R transmissions were the same.
My dilemma is I'm probably going to have to buy an Automatic Supra for the swap, which means I'll need at least a 7M to R15X Bellhousing, and 7MGTE flywheel. From pictures and research, it sounds like my '89-'95 R150's input shaft length is going to come up short.
So I've got this link:
http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=1933.0Which says:
Pre 1995 R150\R151 = 6.5"
1995 up Toyota R series = 7.5"
87-92 Turbo Supra R154 = 7.25"
And this Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_R_transmission#R155Which says this about "late" R150's
"It came with two input shaft lengths pre- 2006 and 2006 and up (20mm longer)"
Which works out to be about 7.25" if 6.5" above is correct.
So:
Can someone confirm the input shaft lengths of 95-04 Tacoma R150, and '05-'14 Tacoma R155's?
and/or
Can someone point me to a build thread where a 7MGTE was mated to a R15XF-something that has a similar input shaft length to either my early R150 or an 05+ R155 length transmission?
and/or
Can someone point me to a build thread with a 7MGTE was mated to another truck style transmission related to the R150?
Thanks!
