Hey guys so I one of my friends was going to sell me a 1st gen transmission to me for $350 (not sure what model it is) His 4Runner is a 4 cylinder and has a 5 speed automatic and mine is a 5 speed automatic except I have a 6 cylinder and I also have a stock transmission is it possible for me to use his transmission in my 4Runner

 

His is a 1985 and mine is a 1995

 

You need an a340h transmission the bolt patterns will be different on the bell housing from the 4cyl to 6 plus the computer will probably be different.

 

Thanks any ideas on manual transmissions? I was looking at the W59

 

If you want to go manual with a 3.0 V6 you needs an R150f

 

I have a 1995 4runner and I am looking to lift it about 6" and I've heard that you can just put a different type of trucks feather springs on yours to lift it more?

 

Not to get 6" of lift. 63" Chevy leaf spring swap gives you maybe 2-3" lift. It's not a good idea to run lift blocks for off-roading or really in general at all so you will have to buy custom springs for that

 

95 4Runner has coil springs in the rear. So it's not a straight swap to use leaf springs from another truck(of any type). So no...you can't "just put them on yours to lift it more".


And 6" of suspension lift in the front would be pretty radical. And not necessarily in a good way I might add. Might be a little more sensible with 2"-3" body lift and 3"-4" bracket lift.
