    I have a 2010 with the 4.0 off-road package and I blew my motor I was wondering if the prerunner 4.0 from an 08 will work. Mine is an automatic and the donor is a manual

    Yes, you will have to put the flex plate on the new engine though

    Watch for the pilot bushing/bearing. If it's in the end of the crank, it needs to be removed.

    Thanks for the clarification. I’ve done a lot of clutches, but never on a Taco.
