Differentials compatible with 95 Tacoma Extra Cab 2wd automatic?

just bought '95 tacoma...bad pinion gear, i think. what year models will interchange with my '95 differential? thanks for any help.

 

Is it a 5 lug or 6 lug truck?

If its 6 lug it requires the 8.4" rear differential.
If its a 5 Lug truck it needs a 8"

8.4's are found in 95.5-04 Tacoma and Tundra's (with exception of the 98 and newer TRD trucks with Elockers)
8" differentials can be found from 1985 forward. If you get an 8" from a pretacoma truck you will need a triple drilled pinion flange to work with your Tacoma drive shaft.

Good luck.

 

5lugs have the 7.5" diff

 

You're right. I tend to forget all about the 7.5" dealing with mostly 4x4 units.

Correction.

If its a 5 lug truck it will have a 7.5" with the 27 spline carrier. Still all 5 lug diffs should interchange with the correct pinion flange.

6 lug will have the 8.4...totally scratch the 8"

 

It will tell you on your driver's side door sill sticker - take a pic and post it and someone will be able to tell you. Or email your vin to partznet.com and they will tell you.
