Transmission swap question
1 - 13 of 13 Posts
What about the torque converter? A smaller engine would general require a torque converter with a different stall speed!
If it has a good converter in it It should be useable since the 2.7 and 3.4 use the 340E. But the bellhousings might need to be swapped as well.
It would be different in stall speeds.
IMHO, this seems straight forward on paper and most likely would bolt up but that's where it ends.
Unless the V6 trans is free!

Sounds like time to dive into the parts catalog to determine if there are differences in some of the parts!
Figure you had, meant OP needs to! 🤣 We can't have all the fun, can we?
I know ! 
Whats irritating but understandable is that Toyota will issue different P/N's for the same part to use as inventory and quality control when they have that part going down different lines. I.E, 4 Cylinder production line vs. V6 line.

They also do the same with different suppliers as well! Oil filter is good example; Japan vs Vietnam or elsewhere! Bought Summer special oil filter, lower priced, made in Vietnam; bought regular filter, higher priced, made in Japan!I know !

And yes, was different part numbers!

Don't know if you need it, but I have a video series on swapping out the automatic transmission. It was done on a 3rd Gen 4runner, but they have the same drivetrain as a 1st Gen Tacoma.
