I've been curious if anyone has ever swapped it for a manual trans... tried searching awhile back with no results.
10 years ago or so I remember seeing a thread where someone did a manual trans swap, I think it was a 6 speed from a 2nd gen tacoma. I've tried looking for it since then and no luck
 
276k miles 2000 tranny replaced at 266k. 99 289k original tranny. 2000 supposedly had a seal that went bad that caused the tranny to fail but it was for a short time period in the production run. At least that is what I've been told. 2000s seems to have more tranny problems than any before or any after. In fact, I don't know of anyone personally that had tranny issues in anything other than a 2000.

I was reading the first page of this thread and thinking, "how are there so many people with early rigs with such low miles?"

By the way:
1999
164K
Original tranny
 
2000 original trans out at 200k. Not serviced while I owned it.
 
2000
transmission granaded due to faulty needle roller bearing at 245K miles
Serviced

Half of me is happy that I got the trans rebuilt. It now drives 200% better.. not lagging when accelerating.. Very good throttle response.
 
99 LX - 342K - original trans, fluid changed a few times. Shifts fine.
 
2000. 259k miles on original tranny.
 
@nissanh Who rebuilt your trans?

It was a transmission shop in San Antonio TX called Mr. Transmission. They had Police dept and city vehicles in their lifts getting transmissions done which gave me confidence of their work! 15K miles later still holding on and drives like the day I got it back form the shop. They advised me to drive slow to properly break-in first few hundred miles.
