    I am helping a friend fix his tcase shifter issues on a 08 2.7 tacoma. Does anyone have the time to take a pic of the actuator shaft timing? My friend pulled the actuator off and didnt mark the gear where it sits on the teeth of the shaft. I dont have one to visually compare and the fsm doesnt talk about timing it, just replace it.

    Here is a pic of the access panel that needs to be unbolted and a pic snapped.

    For anyone else that searches for this info in the future:

    Placement of the gear isnt important. All that matters is that actuator motor is in correct position that correlates to shift rod location.

    So place shift rod in 2wd(all the way in towards tcase). Plug in actuator and shift into 4hi and then back to 2wd, making sure you see the shaft spin. Install actuator onto tcase and then you can place gear over shaft and meshing with shift rod.
