Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ

This is Part 1 or a 2-Part video series showing you how to rebuild the R150F Manual Transmission that came on the following Toyota models:
*1st Gen Tacomas w/ 3.4L V6 5VZ-FE Engine (1995-2004)
*3rd Gen 4runners w/ 3.4L V6 5VZ-FE Engine (1996-2002)
*2nd Gen 4runners w/ 3.0L V6 3VZ-FE Engine(1989-1995)

*This video will also help you rebuild the R151 Manual Transmission that came on the 1986 & 1987 Pickups with the turbo engine.

We were stoked to be able to partner with Nick at Yota1 Performance to bring this awesome series to you. We think it was very generous of Nick to be willing to share this tech with the DIY Toyota Automotive Technician Community.
