Not sure about Crush Washer sizes

    I want to do fluid changes in my 1998 Tacoma 4x4 manual transmission SR5. Does anyone know if the Crush Washer sizes in the front and rear differentials, transfer case in manual transmission drain and fill plugs are all the same size except the front differential drain or fill plug?
    I had read in a thread where someone suggested the Rexca 12 piece kit offered on Amazon would work. There are two larger washers offered in the kit that are a different size. Could these be used on the front differential? It would be really helpful to know before I drain any fluids.
    Thank you for any input.

    when in doubt best to get the genuine parts that fit just right from your local yota dealerparts or order online through a genuine partsdealer discounter

    no extra shipping charge usually occurs once 75$ is met in that cart of genuine parts

    100% agree.

    So it takes an extra day and a phone call/drive to the local toyota parts counter. We're talking a few bucks and I can't recall at any time the local parts counter telling me I had to pay for shipping. Granted I ordered it straight from the parts guy/gal over the phone and NOT online. Was there the next business day if they didn't already have it in stock.

    Rear diff drain & fill, front differential fill - same part
    Front differential drain - unique
    Transfer case drain & fill - same washer

    There's a kit you can get on Amazon with all 6 washers in one convenient bag. Price is pretty solid. Won't need it again for 30,000 miles, so really not worth stressing over a couple bucks on this one.
