DCLB Auto to Manual RC62F, VF2B transfer case and 3rd Gen E-Brake Swap

Got a couple more pics wrapping things up today.

Shifter boots need some modding. Thanks Mom!


And getting them permanently mounted using some stainless rod welded up to some stainless washers and plastic epoxy for the studs.


Test fitting.


And complete

 

My guy, that is incredible looking. FInally the truck Toyota should've sold you

 

Thanks so much for following along and posting. I'm truly stoked on the truck. Lotta effort, time and money to "ruin" it but totally worth it now. Keep us posted on your swap!

 

This is awesome, how is the shifting feel??? I used to have a 6MT 2nd gen (and now an AT) and definitely considering this swap. Who cares about re-sale I'm keeping this truck until it's dust.

 

Thanks for posting. The tranny is the 3rd gen Tacoma RC62 and has lots of notable improvements over the RA that are in the 2nd gen V6 Tacomas. With the B&M shifter and filled with Redline MT90, it shifts really nicely compared to the many other MT Toyotas of my past. I hope to keep this truck as long as the last 2 as well so definitely feel this swap was worth it for me.

 

Hey Desert, I am almost done with my manual swap on my 2013 double cab long bed, but the clutch start wiring is proving to be difficult. For the 12V key, I tied into the radio. I only saw one yellow and black wire, but there was One blue and black wire on each of the plugs for the clutch pedal sensors. Did both of the wires that you tapped into come off of one switch on the clutch pedal? I used posi taps.

 

Here's the wiring diagram.

 

Here's what made sense to me:

Clutch Start Cancel Switch
Pin 1 White/Black (ground)
Pin 2 Violet (start signal from key aka violet to blue/black on clutch switch on pedal)
Pin 3 Light Green (Ignition Power)
Pin 4 Black/Yellow (power out aka black/yellow to black/yellow at clutch switch on pedal)

Hope that helps!
