92 toyota pickup SAS *PICS of the new Taco*

[Dingman.]

yeah just a couple weeks ago.
its mainly when its in 4wd tho

Huh.  don't know what to say about that.  hows the fluid in the tranny?

[808]

havent checked it.
the clutch is pretty worn so im thinking its just that

[Dingman.]

check the fluid, in the tranny, and the master cylinder.

check the fluid in the clutch slave cylinder next to the MC. it might just be low and causing all that.

[808]

master cyl is good.
yeah ill check and see if the slave is leaking
i dont think its just a oil problem im thinking its with the clutch its mainly in 4wd and its not like its just grinds or wont go in its like the gear isnt there

[Dingman.]

Check the slave cylinder like suggested.  also that rubber line that goes from the master to the slave

[808]

rubber?  im pretty sure its a hardline

[Dingman.]

There is a rubber line that goes from each hard line.  Its between the charcoal canister and the intake plenum.

It runs through a metal bracket that attaches to the block.  IIRC

[wampum]

Well if the slave was leaking you would know. I don't think it's a slave problem, unless your losing fluid. It seems to shifts fine in everything else besides reverse. You would know if it was a hydraulic piece problem, yours went out in your 85.
Isn't reverse like "non-syncromesh" so you have to wait for the gears to stop spinning for it to go?

[808]

it doesnt shift throught the gear well though.
it will grind a bit most of the time espically going down into 1st

[Dingman.]

something like that.  That is why it helps to put it in 1st beforehand

[wampum]

What about when your motor is off?
Not sure if that makes much of a difference, just wondering though.
Its a good possibility your syncros are worn out isn't it?

[Sluice Box Hero]

there is a soft line in there too.  had to replace it on kyles truck.  as for the 22re swap.  stupid.  youre going to lose 30hp, the engine will not bolt in, none of the crossmemebers will line up and all the holes in the floor will be in a different spot.  the wiring is different, the computer is different.  buy the truck and sell the engine and tranny to someone and buy a tranny adapter, a case adapter, and a 4.7 gear for your truck.  if your 3.0 is in good shape it is better in all ways than a 22re.  a 3rz is less hp than your 3.0 as well.  if you want a good powerful, fairly cheap swap put in a vortec 4.3L infornt of a r151 with dual 23spl cases.

sounds to me like you are looking for an excuse that you dont have.

[Dingman.]

Im thinking that because it grinds sometimes its not fully disengaging, which leads me to think its a hydraulic problem.

Does the clutch slip while driving?

[Sluice Box Hero]

your slave cylinder is going out.  it doesnt need to leak to be bad.  replace both the master and the slave at the same time.  replacing one will more than likely cause the other to go out quickly.

and yes, reverse is a syncro gear, these trucks werent made in the 50s. . . . .give me a break.

[808]

it could be the cyls but i already know that i have a bad clutch.
when i bought the truck 8 months ago the clutch was bad.
it has almost no grab anymore.

and as far as the motor if nothing lines up like you say then it wouldnt be worth it, but to me a 3rz or 5vz would.
i would take the 3 hp loss for a 3rz to have a ligher more reliable fewer mile toyota motor that gets better gas mileage

[Dingman.]

That still requires a ton of modifications.

The 5vz would be your best bet IMO.
But if the 3.0 still works then leave it at that. 

Shoot my 3.0 has 257,000 miles on the original head gaskets.  Im going to drive it until i can no longer do so.  When that time comes i will buy a 3.4 and do that swap.  You gain about 40 HP. and it is super reliable.

IF the clutch is bad, it would be best to replace it with along with a new slave and master.

[wampum]

I was dumb.

[Sluice Box Hero]

Shoot, I guess Sluice Box Hero has all the info.
What was I thinking trying to share my thoughts? Silly me. 

just letting him know some information that ive researched in the past.  theres no need for you to get sand in your vag.

if you want a 22re sell or trade your truck for one, my cousin is doing a 3.0 to 22re swap, it is a pain, he gave up and took it to a shop to finish it and its been there for a month

[kiyul4130]

and as far as the motor if nothing lines up like you say then it wouldnt be worth it, but to me a 3rz or 5vz would.

of course nothing lines up. its a completely different drivetrain. your gunna need to do new motor mounts, fab/fit a new cross member for the tcase/duals whatever you get to hold it all up. if you get a 3rz your going to have a passenger drop tcase unless you get a v6 style adapter to mini case for the tranny or seperate the tranny from the bell and put in that w56. NOTHING is a bolt up job if your trying to build something.

shoulda brought it down here. i would have done it for a not very much.

[Thomas P]

he did everthing but the wiring, hes thinking about getting it back from the shop, could you figure out the wiring? i hear its quite the rats nest right now

[Dingman.]

Pull up the wiring for both engines. 

we could trace them down.  Just take TIME.

[Thomas P]

sounds like a migraine 

[808]

yeah well this is good to know. thats why i asked because i didnt know what it all would take i figured motor mounts and cross member. but the wiring and everything else is what i was more concerned about.
and as far as gettin a 4cyl truck i tried and gave up now well at least on here i think im gonna put my truck up on cl to trade for a taco.
dont they make an adapter to make the taco case a driver drop?

[wampum]

Nevermind.

[Thomas P]

So was I. Didn't have to throw the whole "give me a break" thing at me, like I'm stupid or something. I was just trying to help a homie out.

helping is what we are supposed to be doing here, c'mon fellers dont elevate this, i can see a heated argument brewin

[808]

the only thing that should be brewing is some love....

[wampum]

yuck.

you're right though, this ain't pirate4x4.
