Topic: w56 rebuild kit question

[toyodaaddict]

Does anyone know what exactly comes in marlins w56 abc rebuild kit? There is one forsale on cl but im hesitant to buy it without knowing for sure that its all there.

Mine came with bearings, synchros, gaskets and the 2 main seals. It was a r151 kit but the w56 kit should contain the same parts.

Thanks Prismo I went for it. Now that its sitting in front of me I can see that its all pictured in the store. I assumed that was probably a generic image .

W56 is a easy one to rebuild! I have rebuilt them, but last time I didn't have the time and took it to a Puyallup Trans and had them rebuild it for like 300

Did they do a good job? $300 sounds pretty fair. Seatac trans quoted me 6-$900 a few years back, but I wasnt providing the rebuild kit then.
 Rebuilding it myself would be pretty satisfying, I'll have to look at the fsm and see what all is involved. I know i'll need to get a press and bearing pullers at the very least.

Yeah. And you will have to make a few special tools. I made mine with a simple hole saw and plate steel. I think I have a pic somewhere. I will look for it

Thanks, Those tools look easy enough to make. I think I'll give it a go when the time comes.
 My dad just picked up a rolled 2000 taco and wants me to put the 3rz in his 4runner and my 22re is over due for a rebuild. So, I gotta deal with that first since the trans is just high milage maintenance. I was going to buy a engine frome 22re performance but your build has about inspired me to attempt rebuilding it myself to

Your local to me. Let me know if I can help!

Was that 300 with them providing all the new parts or just labor?

[zippo]

Just labor

[SqWADoosh]

Just labor

Thanks buddy.

You must be slow moving, I stared at that add for a week before I decided it was to good a deal  to pass up. Didnt you just get a crazy low mileage transmission?

[SqWADoosh]

Yeah I was gonna rebuild the old one. No sweat. Glad it went to you.

I got the w56 rebuilt kit from MC and came with the wrong set of gasket, I complaint to Marlin when I saw him at the Petaluma California swap meet and he was suppose to be call me the following week. July 2014. Beware.
