Topic: R154

[REG535]

 I been trying to find info on the R154s and i know that it came out of a 86.5 supras but I am wondering how I can use one of these in a 85 22re, would it just bolt up with any mods or would i have to get a special bellhousing to bolt the R154 to the 22re? Then of course i would have to run a divorced t-case? any ideas thanks?

I think there were mated to a 7M-GTE so ya, i still have no idea if it will bolt up, more resarch tonight

R150 22RTE tranny  bellhousing should work.

that would be a R151   bellhousing,   but the 154  has  a hi first gear 3.67 i think,  kinda crappy for a 4x4

its not  hard  to locate a  w56  with tcase

i dont think the first gear of 3.67 is that bad...

but i also dont see why you would use the supra tranny that needs a lot of work running divorced and intermediate driveshafts and all of that, rather than a truck tranny that bolts a tcase to it...

L43 has a 3.67

L45, L50, L52, G52, G54, G58 have a 3.93

W56 a 3.95

R151F a 4.31

R150F a 3.83

I'm pretty sure it's even taller than that, like 3.54 or worse

3.25 first gear ratio    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_R_transmission  Found 2 different sites confirming the super tall 1st.

yeah id go with a R151F out of an 86 22RTE
and it will bolt up, and you can run the tcases off the w56B

Thanks for the info guys you all made me think twice about getting a R154 lol, i dont think its worth it now, i would be better off with a R150 or R150F instead, so all i need to bolt to any R series trans is a bellhousing from a R151F truck right, kool. I think will look into the R150 or R150F 

[jimbo74]

jsut get teh r151f you can find them for pretty cheap if you arent in a hurry and people are selling one... they are tops

look for turbo trannies with the bellhousing.
its an R151F and it comes in the 1986-7 22RTE

ok R150  and R150F  both have chain drive tcases,  what you want is gear driven cases,  so stick with either a W56  or a  R151,  both  bolt  to gear driven tcases

UNLESS  you need a  driverside drop tcase  then the R150 f  is what you need
