Obviously im new to this forum as I just created this account . I have been using this website and plenty others to gain information the in the past with multiple things.
Ok so here is the deal . I have a 2000 toyota tacome prerunner 2wd that im not willing to get rid of or trade or whatever . it was paid for with cash and ive done all the maintenance on it with high mileage no leaks or issues whatsoever. Ps I am a motorcoach mechanic.
anyways, i have decided to go ahead and start looking for parts for a 4x4 swap. I want to keep this swap around 1200 +-300 $ . The transmission i have (a340 2wd transmission ) apparently has a longer output shaft than the transfercase version . Anyways i have a couple 2nd and 1st gen 4runner 4wd transmissions laying around at work. And i was wondering is the output shaft would cross over to my transmission ?? that would save me from buying a whole new transmission so id just have to get the transfer case .
As per the transfer case and differential i want it to be all manual locking(not much electrical nonsense to deal with) . so which models and how to tell the difference on both of those. Ive heard to just try and find a donor vehicle from 96-00 . Anyones input who has done this swap or has the knowledge of these transmissions and transfer cases would be greatly appreciated .
