g is like 6 inches longer, I have a couple in fresno that I'm unsure of the condition, Free....... I know one was stuck in gear, and has a bad bearing, but it had a messed up shifter also, both missing top plates. free if you come get them

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 06:44:25 PM »

well if it's 6inches longer i dont really have any tools need to modify mounts to make it fit... but which g series ones are they exactly

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 06:54:06 PM »

well found one out of a 1980 truck but only a 4 speed but says it's a side shift?

thats an l42 series gearing is diff i have that one in my 81 dont care for it find yourself l52 they are more popular and better in long run but if it was me and u want beefy trans go to car-parts.com and find a r151 out of a 22ret

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 07:01:29 PM »

81_yota · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 07:03:27 PM »

Sparkplug · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 07:22:11 PM »

the g sereis is longer and you would need the d shafts to match, for it to work, i have those also, let me know

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 07:27:22 PM »

ya man but i dont have to much to spend or the right tools to modify my floor board since it is my dd

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 07:34:44 PM »

yes the L43 will bolt right in.

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 08:05:05 PM »

the L43 is the first 4wd tranny toyota had. its the exact same bolt patterns as the later Lseries 5 speeds but they are much lighter and have a 3.64 1st gear where as the 5 speeds have a 3.93 1st gear.

you WILL NEED the L43 shifter because the L52 has a different shifter

here is a picture of the L43

and here is a picture of the L52

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 08:08:21 PM »

i would snag the L43 and run it till you can find a L52 in good shape or have Marlin rebuild your L52 into a L52HD

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 08:12:26 PM »

ya i thought about that especailly since the guy wants it for so cheap.... but wish i could have marlin do that but i def couldn't afford that right now

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 08:59:06 PM »

the money you save using the l43 could go to the L52HD

I have a L52HD and LOVE it. I tow regularly and it has never let me down.

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 10:02:42 PM »

well how much did it cost you to get it done

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 31, 2010, 04:12:19 PM »

well i found a l52 with the tcase but the guy wants 350 for both an to me that sounds a lil steep

Sparkplug · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 31, 2010, 04:13:32 PM »

very steep for an l sereis IMO

edit altho it does come with another top shift case, for duals

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 31, 2010, 04:15:24 PM »

ya exactly an i would have to pick it up in oakland... what ya think that tranny an tcase together would be worth

Sparkplug · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 31, 2010, 04:20:38 PM »

250-300 if u desperate

bdcplayer_83yota · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 31, 2010, 04:27:04 PM »

ya thats more like what i was thinkin since i really need one

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 31, 2010, 05:27:17 PM »

grab it, but before you hand over the cash make sure the input shaft doesnt wiggle around if it does dont pay more that $250 for the pair

if it wiggles a LOT pass but it could be a core for a L52HD build.

mine was a special deal but the average Joe like yourself i think its around $900

I like the l43 it's old but still shifts good 50$ is good , a little rtv and your good to go
