Mike D · « **Reply #3 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 03:48:19 PM »

well i guess its a w56 in that case.

damn you 88! I hate dialup!

Mike D · « **Reply #5 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 03:49:41 PM »

oh and shouldn't the rear drive line just fall off cause mine is stuck in the diff side.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #6 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 03:51:10 PM »

Nope it is very common for them to be stuck. You can either hit it with a hammer or just give it a toss to one side and it will lever itself off the diff.

that didn't work i had already beat the crap out of it. I even took a chisel and a crow bar and a few other thing to it.

Spray pentrating lube on it & try again after letting it set for a little. You did pull the bolts first didn't you?

Mike D · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 03:57:29 PM »

yeah i pulled the bolts and shot it with wd40 and still no go

Prismo · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 04:03:21 PM »

I usually use an couple old screwdrivers under the flange on opposite sides to pry it out when rusted.

Mike D · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 04:04:51 PM »

but there isn't any rust and i tryed that with a crow bar and got nothing.

put it back together, and leave the bolts out. then drop the clutch @ 7K rpm!

Mike D · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 04:14:41 PM »

Sound like fun

BigMike · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 04:41:08 PM »

Well it could be a R151F, he didnt specify if it was a Turbo or Normally Aspirated 4Runner

Mike, how much play is acceptable side to side on the transfer rear companion flange? I know axial play is around .15mm

BigMike · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 05:20:42 PM »

1/8" is acceptable

Prismo · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 05:30:57 PM »

Thank you,
I had always wondered, this thread got me thinking about it again. Time to store another tidbit away

BigMike · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 05:32:47 PM »

is there enough room in your brain to store that though??

I thought you were using like 99% of your brain already

Prismo · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 05:36:54 PM »

I write this crap down in a notebook. My one brain cell is overworked as it is

Mike D · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 06:51:52 PM »

hey bigmike how can you tell if it is a r151f and it is not a turbo

What?

I don't get the Q but the eaistest way to distinguish between a R151F and anything else is by a hole at the bottom of the bell housing that has a rubber plug from the factory. It's some kind of access hole to the clutch or something, and is about 1" or 1.25" ID, and this is only found on R151F transmissions that are found behind 22R-TE Turbo engines..

Other less obvious methods of comparison is that the Turbo Transmission has a 23-spline output as apposed to a 21-spline output as in non-turbo 4cyl trans, and it is about half an inch longer than the W- and G-series trans.

I don't get my question either.

BigMike · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 07:16:02 PM »

well maybe that tech can help someone

Mike D · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 15, 2004, 07:19:55 PM »
