I am swapping out the transmission on my 96 Tacoma (320K miles) with a junkyard transmission. I rebuilt the engine last summer and would like to get a few more years out of it. If I were working I would have had Marlin rebuild the trans, but the funds just are not available yet.
I did not realize it would come with the transfer case. My truck has the ADD option but not the One Touch 2-4 selector. I would love to swap everything straight in and be done with things at this point. I pulled in after dark this evening and have not unloaded the 'new' trans/Tcase I picked up today to compare them.
Looking through the FSM I see the differences in the internal mechanisms, but I am not noticing any outside differences to tell them apart other than the One Touch 2-4 selector would have wires/switch on the shift knob. Is there an obvious difference between the ADD/non-ADD versions??
Other than losing activation of the hubs, are there any risks or reasons not to use a Non-ADD Tcase (until I can get the original rebuilt) that I might be missing?
Thanks.
