Topic: 88 3.0 V6 4runner: Automatic to Manual Swap Questions

[wrenchtech]

I want to get rid of the auto and install an R150F or R151F 5 speed.

• Will I need  a different cross member?
• Are manual transmission 4 cyl and 6 cyl cross members the same?
• Is the clutch fork/slave cylinder on the passenger side on V6 applications?

Thanks

  Yes

I believe so, but the mount itself doesn't quite match.  Its easy to cut and weld the tab at a different angle though.

• Is the clutch fork/slave cylinder on the passenger side on V6 applications?

I have an 88 V6... the slave cylinder is on the passenger side (U.S. market model)

I've asked around and everybody agrees that the 4cyl and V6 manual transmission crossmembers are the same.  I actually ran across a steal buy on an R151F (4cyl turbo) transmission with transfer case the other day. Now I just need a 3vze bellhousing, a flywheel, pedal assembly and a driveshaft.

I think I've got a flywheel from a 3.0 laying around somewhere.  Not sure though, I'll have to check.  Shipping would prolly suck for what its worth though.

Thanks for thinking of it. When I wanted to upgrade my 22RE to run the turbo style, and 1995, fly wheel with the slightly larger clutch, I had no problem finding the part locally.
