Topic: Tranny swap

[Grunt]

Newb question here, but here goes. I have a 86 reg cab 4x4, 22 re, 5-speed. Tranny blown. (don't ask)!I have a complete set up out of a 91 4x4, 22re. Will these trannys swap out? I know the x-fer cases are different, the 86 has a top shift and the 91 a forward. Other than that, is this possible? Thanks in advance for the help.

i think so ,
i have a 86 standard cab and swapped in a w56 out of a 92 4runner
was a straight bolt in and  one of the best things i have ever done
to the truck it took the transfer case shifter away from were it
was diging in to my leg!

I had the same problem 2 or 3 years ago. I blew the trans ( W56B ) in my 88 22re truck. I needed help fast, so I called MC and got ahold of Angelo, he assurd me he could get a rebuilt to me within a week. Seven days later it was at my front door, but to my surprise it was a ( W56C 1989-91) I guess I should have said B-BRAVO. So a quick call back to Angelo, and he assures me it will bolt right up as long as I had a foward shift t-case that would fit the charlie model. This is correct. However! you will need to modify the holes in your floor to accomadate the shift sticks for your tranny and t-case.They do not line up quite the same. Not a big deal,some cutting and some sheet metal pop rivited into the floor and I was ready to go, still running fine. Hope this helps.
