from 4 speed to 5 speed swap question

[skhochay]

I got 5-speed trany , is it possible to unbolt my 4-speed trany just with 4 bolts to the housing and get it out or I have to unbolt entire housing from the engine?

Bellhousing stays.
Just the 4 bolts on the ears of the transmission need to be removed, along with the driveshafts, wires, speedo cable, shifter, and transfer linkage.

Remove one transmission mounting bolt and match it at the hardware store. Buy two of them an inch or two longer. Cut off their heads and use them for alignment dowels when pulling and eventually inserting the transmission

you'll also need to support the rear of the engine

does the 5 speed have a transfer case?

I also use my Dremel tool to cut a screwdriver slot into the end of the dowel, and chamfer the ends.

That's right, they help guide the transmission into place. Top two bolt positions. When the transmission gets close to the bellhousing you can adjust the orientation by checking the gap around the perimeter of the transmission and making sure it's even. If the gap stays pretty uniform as you slide the transmission closer you've got a better chance that the input shaft will line up with the pilot bearing.

Hello


one more question

what is that plastic plug look at the vide time 12:54 - he is installing on the video do I need that too

That's the 5th gear oiler cup, not a plug. The recess for the oiler cup should be in your post-4/85 transfer case front housing. Toyota Part Number 33124-36010, retail $2.82.
