This video is incredible.... I recently got into an accident with my 2000 sr5 5speed and couldn't send it to the junk yard. Going to swap it into my 97 limited. Thanks for sharing!!
Great video thanks for sharing and teaching us how it's done! I can't wait to buy a 4Runner someday I had the chance to buy one one year drove 3 hours to look at it with 5k in hand. But it turned out to be too rusty and I think it may have had a blown head gasket. so I offered 3 grand and the owner declined. This was 5 years ago but man I'll never forget how nice that truck drove and how nice it shifted.
I’m really interested in doing this myself, and have been all over the place trying to figure it out. Would you be willing to answer some questions or point me in the right direction?
What transmission did you put in it? R150F? I'm curious because I want to do the same swap you've done but I've seen conflicting information about the compatibility of the R150F in the 99 4runners.
Hey man I just did a swap on my Toyota four runner and I was wondering what wires I need to hook up for my clutch to my transmission wires if you have any information it’s greatly appreciated.
I know you have been hammered with questions but my 4runner is a 2002 and there was no manual transmission option. Any idea if a 98 manual transmission and the ecu would work?
I can’t find a driveline spacer for my 97 Tacoma anywhere. I did the swap just need to get that spacer. What size spacer did you use and where did you find it? Thanks
I want to do the swap on my 1999 4runner. I’m wondering if I can keep the transfer case that is currently running behind the automatic transmission. I heard it was a direct bolt-up but I think the shift levers have to be swapped out.What do you know?
What’s up brother I know this is a 5yr old video hopefully you’re still active here. If your here is there a way I can contact you about question about the swap? I know there’s forums and whatnot to do research but if I could get your input and knowledge also would make life a little easier for the swap
It rolled off onto my fucking leg and gimped around for two weeks. ( sorry bout your leg) but that shit was funny bro...thanks for the info ....you sound like all my dudes lol
Hello! Just about to do this swap myself. I’ve acquired an ECU, transmission, pedals slave cylinder etc. Did you need to ecu harness aswell? Or can you use the auto harness with some modifications. Thanks!
Also is your CEL on? I'm in CA and that shit doesn't really fly here. Instead of doing a manual swap, I'm putting a new 2wd body on my old 4wd 5speed frame. Both are year 2000. I have the manual ecu but I heard I might have to swap the entire body harness out of the old truck and put it behind the dash of the new body so I can keep the ignition system. Those two little green and red wires you wired in the video- did that allow you to turn the car on? And did you use your original steering column? Sorry about all the questions, it just seems like an easy swap for you, doesn't seem to easy to me.
Do u think this takes away from the reliability of the 4Runner or do u think I should full send on doing this. In highschool I drove a stick but I have missed it ever since
It doesn't really affect reliability at all. I mean, I guess if anything it boosts reliability. Less stuff that can go wrong in the manual trans, and if it needs to be rebuilt it can be done by yourself with a press and a little research
So I'm wanting to 5 speed swap my 3rz rwd 2000 4runner could I get a 2wd Tacoma for a doner or is the trans different also are the trans in the 3.4 the same as the 2.7?..tia
I've got a '97 5 speed 4Runner that I'll probably be selling soon as a donor if anyone is interested. Rusty (MN vehicle) but the frame's been repaired everywhere that the frames go bad.
this was highly informative to me when I did my swap. If I remember correctly I got almost everything I needed through this thread. www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/160354-auto-5-speed-swap-need-your-input.html
I'm having trouble withe what I need to fo with the neutral safety switch where it was a auto. And all the wires for back up lights and the rest of the wires im lost plz help
@@ahmedkunbargi8096Greetings. I could not find the transmission and it is frustrating I have everything else to make it manual except the transmission.
@@ahmedkunbargi8096 I want the R150F. The problem is that I can't find the transmission in Junker, eBay; there are 4Runner 89 transmissions until 95, but they have the front shaft on the right side and mine is on the left side.like said I get all the parts to make the swap, except the transmision.God bless you.
Could you direct me to whatever information you were able to find? I can find a bunch of people asking if this is a good idea but practically nobody helping.

Well hell.. I'm doing a 3.4 and manual trans swap in a 95 4runner. Got the trans, transfer case, drive shafts, clutch pedal assembly, 98 taco 4x4 MT ecu, 98 4runner 3.4, and just ordered a conversion harness for the dash sht. How did you wire up the clutch switch, reverse light, 4x4 indicator, and delete neutral safety? Also i got some weird ass box mounted with long connectors on it where the clutch pedal mounting bracket should go. In for some info!
Did you use your orginial transfercase? Ive got a 99 im about to convert ive got a 03 tacoma 5speed frame is shot so it the perfect doner do you have a facebook so i could pm you some wiring questions?

Hilarious video nice stuff. How much you reckon a local garage would charge me to do the swap if they sourced the parts + labor? Thanks!
To fuckin much lol
Any know?
Did the crank output shaft need a new bearing or any modifications before you put the 5 speed on?

I have a shop a lift and literally every single tool to do this but can I switch an engine from an automatic into a manual just the engine
Yes you can I just got that done in my 1999 4 runner
What year was the Ecu from? Are the connectors different from auto and manual?
I got the ECU out of a 2000, so it was a direct replacement, same connectors.
What suspension did you did you end up putting in the rear of this?
Christopher Backen OME 3” springs and 5160 Bilstein shocks if I remember correctly
Where did you get the driveshaft space?

Do you need a crossmember to do this swap? If so how hard is it to do, and where could you find one?
stock crossmember as used, new trans mount though.

could always re-map a/t ECU?

Was the ECU plug and play or did you have to repin it?
