This site was coming up a lot while researching possible matches for the trans, so figured I'd Xpost here. Any help very much appreciated!
This came off off my '85 4Runner today to replace the pilot and throwout bearings. There was also an issue with being hard to get into gear which appears to be because of the adapter setup. Wasn't sure how that worked before digging in, so hopefully won't be an issue anymore. The trans is a cast iron case and aluminum top.
The vehicle was heavily modified by the PO, who seemed to do everything by the book, but I can't figure out what the transmission is. Called Marks 4WD months ago and gave them the part #s for both adapters but both were so old that they couldn't track it. Very helpful guys though - they did say if it was in a Toyota and a cast iron case that it was probably a Dyna transmission, but R452 were side shift, and it doesn't look like any H55 I've found a pic of yet.
Any ideas what the bolt I took out top right of PTO cover does? PTO option only?








Curious, does anyone know the function of this rod with the notch cut in it? Something to do with PTO engagement maybe? My thumb is through the PTO cover, pic is from the top of case.

This was the top adapter. Unsure how this brass shifter piece is going to hold up for years of abuse, we'll see.


Planning on reusing the Centerforce clutch. Looks alright, no?


Fingers are not so great but hopefully with a new TO bearing it'll work.


Synchros look good anyway.
