    It probably won’t go through if you’re shipping it to yourself. The best way seems to be order it to a dealer near you and pick it up. Any time I tried anything shipped it would either go through and cancel later or it wouldn’t go through at all.

    The bad part is if you don’t have a good dealer near you discounting.

    Is there a list of bell housings that will swap on the RC trans? I've been searching but nothing comes up. I'm looking for something that goes to the 2nd gen motors.

    All I know of is the 3.5 bell housing that comes stock for the RC62F will work on both the 3.5 and 4.0. The RC series cannot be mated to a 2.7L unless you come up with something custom.

    The 4.0L and Tacoma 3.5L have the same bell housing pattern so that’s why it works on those two.

    Ok cool. They make a 4.0L adapter plate, so that will work.

    Are you just trying to mate the RC60F up to a 4.0?

    no I'm working on something special. Also I'm probably going to order the rc61f as it has a better 5-6 split.
