Auto Parts: 1990 Toyota 4-Runner tansmission swap, pep boys, toyota 4 runner

Question
I have a 1990 Toyota, 4-Runner, 4WD, 3.0 V6, automatic with a blown transmission.  Can you tell me what years are interchangeable?  I've been told that only 89-90 pickups and  the 1990 4-runner transmissions are compatible. Is this true?  Thanks, Brad

Answer
Hi Brad,

Unfortunately, it is true. Here is the complete interchange with notes for your convenience:

40060550
4 RUNNER 90 A.T.; 4x4, 6 cyl
TOYOTA PICKUP 89-90 A.T.; 4x4, 6 cyl

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
