    For what I can tell the shifter assembly part number is the same for the R155 and the R156.

    Nevermind. I’m wrong the seat assy is the same but the shifter itself is different.

    Hope you guys are right about the manual being better than the auto. I'm committed to the swap now.

    What is NVTS? Is that just a typo and supposed to be nuts? I'm not up on all the new acronyms these days.

    Manual is way better, I think you'll be pleased with the difference. Also having trouble seeing the pic

    Do you need a seat still? I can separate what I've got if it will help with your swap

    Really? That’s weird.


    No. Turns out the transmission had the shifter included new though they originally told me it wouldn’t.

    No set date. I’m still gathering parts. But this definitely catapulted the project to full commitment mode.

    So a 2.7 2and gen auto, I'm assuming 4.10 gears, 265/75r16 will be fine? 285/75r16 is probably pushing it since it's a auto?

    That's what I have now. 245s P rated street tires. Just trying to justify the reason NOT to go with 285.

    You just need to get used to how it drives. My truck had the 285/75/16 when I got it and I swapped t o305/65/17 which is pretty much the same height, just wider. I tow my boat with it and it's fine, just don't pull out in front of another vehicle.

    I wouldn't burn the resources (time and money) on a regear to only go up one size. Prepare for the future, somewhat, when gearing was more or less what I was told by many other 2TR 5spd owners. Specifically those with 4.88 and running 33 or 35 inch tires, which was what my dream was then.
    I'll be going to 35s in the next couple weeks. Already pulled liners and flares.

    I don’t know where you live, but I’ll share my experience. I live in Maryland, it is not considered mountainous here. So when I say hill, I mean a small hill. With 4.88’s and 33’s (essentially a 285/75) I have a really hard time maintaining highway speed (65mph) no even the smallest grade. Rolling hills aren’t so bad if I can get a running start. But even a shallow grade if it’s pretty long will have me holding up traffic. On the bigger hills we have in the west part of the state, I am crawling up them at 45mph with the motor screaming at 5k rpm with 18-wheelers passing me.

    I can’t imagine how terrible 33’s with 4.10 gears would be. My current experience with 4.88’s is so bad that I’m converting my truck to manual because everyone says it’s way better. We will see.
