    the m57 does sound pretty cool when straight piped, defiantly better than the 1gre fe sound

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Any straight 6 sounds better than a V6, I think I just want a B58 and to use the 8HP75 out of a RAM1500 so I could maintain 4x4. Screw the 1GR and A750, long travel taco with high power bimmer drivetrain sounds baller

    My X-Runner's transmission has at least 2 rebuilds under its belt (1 under my ownership and 1 maybe 2 under prev owner's). I will be using this kit to 8HP swap the next time it catastrophically fails.

    Horrible rev hang and inherently fragile synchros force me to upshift painfully slow. 8HP swap can't happen soon enough.

    you rebuilt an RA60?

    did you only have to use the FSM? Where’d you get parts?

    Maybe I'll start shifting like a teenager who just got their Honda to speed the process.
    Hey Tuesday, sorry I didn't rebuild it myself nor did the prev owner (my cousin). We both had different shops take care of the rebuilds.
