My swap has been finished for about a year now. I would like to thank Tacoma4life, Saftydang, Mosk22ret, and anyone else who helped me in my swap.
A few key points I would like to point out-
- Make sure to be very careful whel laying out the clutch master cyl holes in the fire wall. Fire wall template- Mosk22ret
-Use GL-4 gear oil in your transmission, I used Amsoil GL-5 and shifts are kinda notchy and not very smooth.
-If your truck has the 3.4L V6, your transmission crossmember is in the correct place, however if you have the 2.7L 4cyl your crossmemeber is too far back, and will need to be modified.
(Top is the modified crossmember, bottom is the stock one.)
Parts: I bought/used
- W59 and broke transfercase- $650 (halland salvage)
- Front half of rear shaft- Free w/ trans
- Brake pedal- Free w/ trans
- Clutch pedal and bracket- Free w/ trans
- New Clutch master cyl- $55 (autozone)
- Clutch hydro line (hard)- $8 (autozone)
- AISIN Slave cyl- $23 (ebay)
- Shifter boot- Free w/ trans
- Fly wheel- Free w/ trans
- Spare crossmemver- Free w/ trans
- (3) 460ohm resistors (1) 2.2Kohm resistor and a project box w/ ciurcit board - $7.50 (radio shack)
- Reverse light plug from harness (toyota) $16
- rubber clutch line -$20 (toyota)
- Clutch -$133 (Ebay)
- Shifter console -$10 (NC4x4 member)
- NSK release bearing - $52 (toyota)
- Rubber clutch line clips - $1.20 (toyota)
- ECU - $118 (local junk yard via Car-part.com)
- AMSOil for the Engine, trans and t-case plus filter- $111 (Toyota)
- Toyota Trans mount- $75 (Toyota)
- Front Drive shaft- $50 (halland salvage)
TOTAL- $1318.70

Mosk22ret's ECU pinout PDF
Car-part.com was used to track down parts I could not find local.

As follows in this thread, I had toyed with the idea of using resisters to fool the Auto ECU into thinking that there was a automatic transmission inplace and functioning normally. However after finding a used ECU with the correct part number that was a plug and play, I opted for that in stead. I certian that the resisters would have worked.
