Topic: turbo trannys a tcase what they worth

[NaturalDisaster]

Hey everybody. Well its been a while since i have been into the toyota scene and i dont know if i will ever be getting back into it. I have 1 turbo tranny and t case and 1Turbo tranny minus the case. Both seem to be in good condition. What are they worth. Whats a good asking price for them located in utah if that makes any diff thanks for any help. Oh another question whats the correct model or series number for these. Thanks again

i will take them if you dont want them. lol   it really depends on how bad somone needs them and how far to go to get them.

[Travis H]

i assume manual 5spds? they are called r151f ive seen trannys alone go for 600.

[NaturalDisaster [OP]]

yes both are 5speeds

i picked mine up (tranny and case) for 300. The guy was cool and admitted that he hadn't run it and was going for a core price. We worked on this a little because he wanted to keep both of the shifters and shifter seats. I think Marlin's core price is 400. Thats a good starting point. I was lucky and was able to run mine for 6 months until i was ready to rebuild it (it didn't NEED it at the time but i wanted to get it out of the way). If you know its in perfect running order i wouldn't shy away from 600 (5-800 range actually).

Also, your "turbo" t case is a regular gear case (RF1A) with a 23 spline input shaft. the tcase alone has value for a v6 guy swapping to a gear case. Or someone looking to "dual up". Your tranny alone can be completed by mating to a RF1A and putting in a 23 spline input gear, these can be found in stock 2.28:1 low range ratio form from marlin or upgraded with a 4.7:1 low range available multiple places.

All of that being said your bellhousings are a money maker in them selfs. The turbo bell housing is special in that it will allow a 20 - 22 series motor to bolt up to a R series tranny. These trannies include v6 5 speeds, and some other supra 2wd trannies. I have seen a turbo bellhousing go for $400.

Again on another note, the "turbo tranny" is a R151f. This being a R series ( as aposed to a W or G series) has much larger gears and i believe bigger bearings which is why they are sought after.

As far as sale, i would think a reasonable and honest price for the tranny case combo (with shifters) would sit from 4-700 depending on available history. The tranny by it self prolly around 300-500 again depending on available history.

I got mine on craigslist which is a good place for yota parts around here (OR). Although if you posted pics here and a phone # you may be able to get rid of them here.


Wow, that was allot of info, i think i got it all correct but if you have any questions let me know. Good luck

Wow thanks early and everybody for the help. The one minus the t case i dont know much about it i just pulled it out of a non turbo truck that they put the tranny in it out of a turbo truck we bought both trucks then pulled the turbo tranny and case out of it before we sold the trucks. I gave the case to a friend and he broke the input shaft in it. So i am assuming the tranny is in fair condition. And the other complete one is still in a wrecked truck i bought. It seemed to work good shift good with no noise. If anybody wants em let me know i will give you my number. I will go get pictures of them and list them for sale in the proper section. Thanks again everybody for the help

I got lucky and picked up my r151 for $180 at pick n pull 

[Capt. Crawler]

    Interested if you still have a tranny? Are they stamped to identify exactly what model they are?
    Thanks, Kirk

[82rustbeast]

in my tranny? sorry there fella, this babys goin in my 1st gen. a tell tale sign of a r151 is a 1 to 2 inch rubber plug on the very bottom of the bellhousing.


From Pirate:

Identification:
G52/54 84-88' are twin stick, use a 8 bolt center section, 6 bolt gear t/case pattern, 21 spline output.
G58 89-95' twin stick, 8 bolt center, 9 bolt chain t/case, 26 spline
W56 85-88' (single stick), 89-95' (twin stick), 10 bolt center, 6 bolt t/case, 21 spline
R151F 86 - 87 (turbo only) will have two housings of four bolts each just like a G52, the difference would be the large rubber plug on the bottom of the bellhousing.
