Will the 4th gen 8 Spd transmission work in 3rd Gen Taco

Math checks out according to my calculator.

 

Has anyone done an engine swap to a 3rd gen yet?

 

I recommend the 1 Lo mod along with it

 

but where would one get a 4th Gen trans? are they even out yet?

 

my wifes rav4 has the 8 speed transmission and its actually better than the gear hunter in our turd gen lol

 

This can’t be real

Radio knobs work better, maybe get a Rav-4 donor and swap out a bunch of stuff

 

Mirrors too

Somebody swapped in a LS3 in his Tacoma before. Had an LF3 before the LS3. I believe he has a TW account as well.

 

i did the swap in my imagination and it works

 

No. You'd need to fabricate some type of adapter/bellhousing, ect that would allow someone to bolt the transmission to the 3rd gen motor. Then you'd need to figure out the ecu tuning for the entire project, which isn't possible at the moment. You'd be better off buying a different vehicle or looking into a complete engine/transmission swap, but that is a can of worms in and of itself.

Barrett Jackson Scottsdale has a black 2024 Tacoma in what appears to be a limited trim in their display booth. Major let down. Truck looks fugly and fisher price.

 

no but the 4th gen manual transmission bolts right up

 

Anything is possible, but myself, working as a Machinist for over 50 years and going down the road of conversions, never again!
Problems on top of problems will arise, guaranteed!!

 

Because Smitty99 was taken

 

Welcome to TW.

 

Do you think my wife would notice if I swapped hers?
