    Not ashamed to say I don't know how to drive a MT, nor am I interested in one. I appreciate the suggestion though.

    Toyota does remanufacturing through their own company AW Transmission Engineering USA... I would have no qualms installing anything that comes out of there.

    Yeah but the tow package on these trucks comes with a transmission cooler and there is a lot of threads on this forum that write about how the trucks with tow package come with low transmission fluid from the factory

    Hey i had a crankshaft key fail in my 86 toyota 4 banger 4x4 pickup around that mileage that took out the crank. Had to have a regional rep from nj to inspect it. They said it was a metallurgical defect, and only replaced the crankshaft using the same main bearings. That truck never ran the same afterwards making a lot of lower end noise, but it never blew up either.

    I wouldn't be concerned as long as there's an extended warranty coming with it.

    No, mine does not have a tow package. Just your basic TRD off road.

    The powertrain warranty is 5yr/60. I'm at about year 3.8 and 37K miles. Should the remainder of that warranty be enough time to figure out if things are going to be okay?

    I wouldn't be afraid...you'll likely get any of the latest upgrades in that transmission.

    If it comes standard with TRDOR, then I have it. Never really cared about anything related to towing because I don't tow.

    If you have a tow hitch on the truck you have everything else.
