I have a mechanic who will help me your vid is a great heads up to what is in store so thanks for that, hope I finally windup with an awesome 4Runner🤞
Get a new cherry picker..... Use old (lightweight) to make a light rack. With a couple of old batteries (for power and recharging) placed on back of cherry picker (for counter weight). A new slide in bar for lights (12 volt LEDs). Should be plenty of light for work and filming. Depending on how you make your extendable light bar, it could be adjusted to fit just under hoods and be far enough to not interfere while working on engine. And to come in from both sides of vehicle . Just a thought!
Awesome video I’m currently piecing my 5vz swap aswell 97 4runner ecu, one oxygen sensor, 2002 tacoma engine (non egr same as 4runner) 99 and up MAF, ORS harness, truck will only have a heater and radio under the dash, cool video lol took some notes 🤙🏼
This video is awesome! I have one question, fuel pump relay. How do you trigger it to kick on when necessary. In the middle of this exact swap on a 95 4Runner. It was auto but now 5speed. I can start and run the motor but I have to short the fuel pump relay to ground so the pump continues to runs until I unhook ground. The wire I am shorting to ground d is in the II3 plug. If you could give me a pointer that would be awesome. Everything else works off the ignition as it should.
Can you make a comparison video between a v8 swap(1/2uz) and the 3.4 swap. Obviously the v8 has more power but how do they differ in terms of difficulty and what are the pros and cons of each outside of power output.
I really enjoy your content. This is everything I need. My daughter bought a 88 Toyota pickup that was swapped and I am trying to verify what trans my daughters truck has. Anyway to send a pic to you??
Hello! I was wondering what parts are needed for a 3.4 swap into my 1985 Toyota pickup. This weekend I might buy a rebuilt 3.4L that would come with 3.0L mounts. Will I be able to bolt those in or is some fabrication work needed? I currently have a 22R in my Toyota right now. The 3.4 I’m currently looking at will come with a wiring harness and computer, Ecu, bell housing, clutch and fly wheel for a R150F transmission. I was wondering what else I will need to do this swap successfully? Furthermore, I was wondering if I will need to lengthen my drive shafts to fit the R150F transmission? My current transmission is a W56-A 4x4 5 speed. Also, will I need to redo my gas lines and make a new fuel tank because right now my 22r is carborated? Thank you for reading.
We did it in my buddy's 95 pickup, swapped the 3VZ for 5VZ...but cannot figure out how to connect the cruise control. Did you solve that on your swap and if so how?
Hi I did the 3.4 swap en the engine is on the 4runner what i did it do is the wire harness i need Help Please let me know if you can help me I know it's not gonna be free just let me know please thank you
I don't know if you mentioned this in the video earlier I might have missed it but you need to put a body lift on your truck after you do the swap otherwise the engine will hit the hood because it's taller than the 3.0. That means you have to use different cooling hoses too for the radiator because they need to be a little longer
Nope! Didn't mention it because it wasn't required. In some cases you have to cut a bit of hood bracing out, but 3.4s fit nicely in others without cutting.
Very informative vid guys, i recently bought a really nice stock 95' 4runner with a 3.0 with 168k miles. it runs good but i will be wanting to throw a 3.4 in it at some point. I was just wondering how you got to be so comfortable and knowledgeable when it comes to the wiring portion of swaps? Is it just from diving in and figuring it out or have you had schooling? I've rebuilt engines but when it comes to wiring i feel like an idiot haha. Also looking at a diagram is like trying to read chinese to me. I actully learned from your video that the diagrams continue to the next page, i had no clue!
Thank you Dirt Garage! Super helpful video. I have an '89 first gen with the 3.0 with manual trans. This week I'm picking up a 3.4 from a '97 T100 with automatic trans. I have a couple question for you: Can you offer any suggestions how to fool the 3.4 computer into thinking the transmission is in Park, so it will start? A Question for the community: Anyone who's done the 3.4 swap with a 1st gen 4Runner 3.0, please reach out to me. I have some wiring questions. Thanks in advance.
Nothing is required. Most swaps are with auto ECMS. They don't care, they assume it's in neutral by default and will start and drive a manual just fine.
@@DirtGaragehey so I’m doing my 3.4 swap out of a 99 into my 91, I have the wiring harness and ecu out of the 99. Does it require wiring beyond that or is it mostly plug and play type of deal since I have both the wiring and ecu. Thanks in advance
I've done my 3.4 swap but had issues with wiring a 2001 autobtrans 2wd since the older one use the kick down cable shifts hard a f and couldn5 find wiring harness worth a shit for anything
So after shipping all the parts I need come to $250 and that’s with a radiator. I would love to do a 3.4 swap but in SK they want $1,500 for a motor with 367,000 km on it!!! Can you believe that.. I’m gonna check out other provinces and hopefully it’s much cheaper. But even after I get the engine I’ll need a 3.4 swap kit too.
How do people learn this stuff? I mean other than a professional education. How do you know you did everything and connected everything after it’s done? I am deep in a rabbit hole on engine swaps, so amazing to watch and see what people can do to make their cars better.

Yep trial and error, 30 years ago when I started doing this stuff there of course was no internet no youtube, , youtube is a giant help when doing this stuff , it seems whatever you can think up for a swap somewhere someone has already done it ,
About to tackle this same swap into my 93 4 runner, but I have IFS. Do I still need to swap out the oil pickup tube and swap the oil pan from my 3.0 engine or can I just leave the 3.4 oil pickup tube and pan since I don't have SAS? Awesome detailed video!
Put some AT-205 in that engine hoist and it will stop bleeding down. The 3.0 must go, like you said the 3.4l is so much better. No comparison to the 4cyl which is what I originally had. You don't have to cut the fuel line if you are not in a hurry. On a 4cyl truck there is a threaded coupler you can use to connect the two. That couple is located near the fuel tank or towards the engine along the hard line. From 4cyl to 3.4l you want the fuel line from 3.0engine flip it 90* and couple that to the fuel line on the pass side. As with Toyota brake lines the thread pitch is the same, longer brake lines needed just add a stock brake line, and that is the same with fuel line hoses. I did this same swap just not to long ago into my 84-04 SR5/TRD pickup, and yes that's is all the years/generations of Toyota's my rig is built with. When I did the 3.4l swap I took it one step further by rewiring the complete truck from fuse box harness, battery harness, dash harness, fuel pump, all the way back to the tails lights. Moved the battery to left hand side and also installed a complete dash and HVAC system out of a first gen Tacoma. The 04 e-locker works as Toyota intended with the stock switch and the speedometer is driven by my 84 RF1A transfer case. Everything under the hood is out of the a first gen Tacoma and in the same location as well, right down to the opening in the firewall for the engine harness. You would never tell that my rig didn't come like this from the factory. Next engine swap may just in fact be the V8, that job will get a 3.4l to 4.7l adapter harness when I locate one.
Hey, Currently working on a 3.0 to 3.4 swap… is there any harm with using the baffle from the 3.0? On the right side where the ac compressor mount interfaces with the engine mount, there’s a gap.Did you use a shim to compensate for the gap? 3.0 mount seems to be thicker than 3.4 where it bolts to the block.
This is an awesome video thank you for the time you took to make it simple and easy. Do you have a detailed video like this for the 1uz you just did? Thanks again brotha subscribed

@@DirtGarageis there supposed to be a dust cover on the bottom half of the fly wheel? Currently half way through a SAS.. 3.4 engine, putting in the 3.0 transmission but the bottom of the fly wheel is exposed. Doesn’t seem right to me..

Hey man I’m doing This swap to, I bought a 2000 model 4Runner with the 3.4 and automatic transmission. I’m putting it into my 1989 4Runner but it’s a manual will the computer still work even though there 2 different transmissions?
Probably not. Not because it's a automatic, but because it's a 2000 model, I always try and tell people to stay away from 99+ because they commonly have immobilizers. If your lucky it won't, usually base model trucks won't, but limiteds have generally all have immobilizers, but also some SR5s 😅. Either way if it doesn't have one your set, the motor, harness and ecu we used in this was from a auto and we attached it to a manual.
I have the same engine (1994 Toyota pickup V6 3.0/3VZE), and I'm getting a code 24 and code 31...rough idle, rich running, hesitation sometimes when i press on the gas pedal, check engine light on, and occasional backfire when first starting (cold). The truck came with an EGR delete set up, as well as a cold air intake simplification mod when I bought it. If you (or anyone) could offer some guidance, I am by myself and really need help. Thanks!
You need to use the automatic from the 3.4! Then to get the transfercase to drop on correct side you need an adapter to go from 3.4 auto to gear drive case from earlier Toyota 4 cyl.
Hi I need advise with this problem I have with the transmission I don't know what to Get of automatic transmission on manual for the 3.4 swap what is the best solution
@@DirtGarage I remember both of my motors had a plug that I used a punch to knock out and replaced with my 3.0 plug and just replaced it , I know some motors you have to drill them out right ?

And to come in from both sides of vehicle .
Just a thought!
That is a genius idea 🤘🇨🇦
Just needs some AT-205 added to the engine hoist and it will be mint, any jack for that matter.
My cherry picker is fine. And my shop is waaay to small to rig up a cherry picker specifically for lighting.
Awesome video I’m currently piecing my 5vz swap aswell
97 4runner ecu, one oxygen sensor, 2002 tacoma engine (non egr same as 4runner) 99 and up MAF, ORS harness, truck will only have a heater and radio under the dash, cool video lol took some notes 🤙🏼
Killed it brotha good job 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ll be doing the swap to a 86 Toyota pickup!
Watching this now I will also be watching this video and rewinding it several times in the future when it comes to wiring
This video is awesome! I have one question, fuel pump relay. How do you trigger it to kick on when necessary. In the middle of this exact swap on a 95 4Runner. It was auto but now 5speed. I can start and run the motor but I have to short the fuel pump relay to ground so the pump continues to runs until I unhook ground. The wire I am shorting to ground d is in the II3 plug. If you could give me a pointer that would be awesome. Everything else works off the ignition as it should.
I’m trying to lock down the first GEN 4Runner for my son and we’re definitely going to 3.4 her
Your wiring ability is impressive
im still trying to find diagrams for obs style gmc/Chevy to finish my swap
“Fuel coupler” is just future planning for a pressure gauge
True 🤣
Thank you. Hoping to swap mine by this summer
Nice were you got the engine diagram?
I'm swap my 4runner 1995 3.0 to 3.4 but I need the engine control module diagram?
Can you make a comparison video between a v8 swap(1/2uz) and the 3.4 swap. Obviously the v8 has more power but how do they differ in terms of difficulty and what are the pros and cons of each outside of power output.
Absolutely!
I really enjoy your content. This is everything I need. My daughter bought a 88 Toyota pickup that was swapped and I am trying to verify what trans my daughters truck has. Anyway to send a pic to you??
11:20 I've never seen an engine get so excited about being brought to life
Great stuff. About to do a swap in CA.
Can you make a video of putting back vacume lines
Hello! I was wondering what parts are needed for a 3.4 swap into my 1985 Toyota pickup. This weekend I might buy a rebuilt 3.4L that would come with 3.0L mounts. Will I be able to bolt those in or is some fabrication work needed? I currently have a 22R in my Toyota right now. The 3.4 I’m currently looking at will come with a wiring harness and computer, Ecu, bell housing, clutch and fly wheel for a R150F transmission. I was wondering what else I will need to do this swap successfully? Furthermore, I was wondering if I will need to lengthen my drive shafts to fit the R150F transmission? My current transmission is a W56-A 4x4 5 speed. Also, will I need to redo my gas lines and make a new fuel tank because right now my 22r is carborated? Thank you for reading.
Is this for a manual is automatic the same?
Do you have a link to where you got the diagrams from ?
Toyota dealerships
Could you link where you got the wiring diagram. Thanks
We did it in my buddy's 95 pickup, swapped the 3VZ for 5VZ...but cannot figure out how to connect the cruise control. Did you solve that on your swap and if so how?
So that red and white wire goes to the relays
Hi I did the 3.4 swap en the engine is on the 4runner what i did it do is the wire harness i need Help Please let me know if you can help me I know it's not gonna be free just let me know please thank you
I don't know if you mentioned this in the video earlier I might have missed it but you need to put a body lift on your truck after you do the swap otherwise the engine will hit the hood because it's taller than the 3.0. That means you have to use different cooling hoses too for the radiator because they need to be a little longer
Nope! Didn't mention it because it wasn't required. In some cases you have to cut a bit of hood bracing out, but 3.4s fit nicely in others without cutting.
Very informative vid guys, i recently bought a really nice stock 95' 4runner with a 3.0 with 168k miles. it runs good but i will be wanting to throw a 3.4 in it at some point. I was just wondering how you got to be so comfortable and knowledgeable when it comes to the wiring portion of swaps? Is it just from diving in and figuring it out or have you had schooling? I've rebuilt engines but when it comes to wiring i feel like an idiot haha. Also looking at a diagram is like trying to read chinese to me. I actully learned from your video that the diagrams continue to the next page, i had no clue!
Which motor mounts did you use 3.4 or 3.0?
I have an 89 pickup will this swap work with an automatic transmission?
Thank you Dirt Garage! Super helpful video. I have an '89 first gen with the 3.0 with manual trans. This week I'm picking up a 3.4 from a '97 T100 with automatic trans. I have a couple question for you:
Can you offer any suggestions how to fool the 3.4 computer into thinking the transmission is in Park, so it will start?
A Question for the community: Anyone who's done the 3.4 swap with a 1st gen 4Runner 3.0, please reach out to me. I have some wiring questions. Thanks in advance.
Nothing is required. Most swaps are with auto ECMS. They don't care, they assume it's in neutral by default and will start and drive a manual just fine.
@@DirtGaragehey so I’m doing my 3.4 swap out of a 99 into my 91, I have the wiring harness and ecu out of the 99. Does it require wiring beyond that or is it mostly plug and play type of deal since I have both the wiring and ecu. Thanks in advance
What additional do you need for an auto harness
Nothing. Just cut out auto part of harness. ECU assumes neutral and will rev normally
Swapping out the 3.0 on my 91 with a 2000 runner engine. Where did you get your wiring diagram. I have all the stuff.
Wish I had some kind of shelter to work on my vehicle.
The back open driveway, to a public alley, is so sketchy, and not really a workable space.
Where does the other end of the power steering return line go to? That’s my last step to get er going but can’t find
@@ernestogarcia8014 goes from pump to box
For some reason YT, is only now (2 days after published) letting me know about it.
Watching it now
I've done my 3.4 swap but had issues with wiring a 2001 autobtrans 2wd since the older one use the kick down cable shifts hard a f and couldn5 find wiring harness worth a shit for anything
Can you do a vacuum line video
What runs in to the relays
Did you have ABS and if you did, did you delete it?
We generally delete abs from everything
So after shipping all the parts I need come to $250 and that’s with a radiator. I would love to do a 3.4 swap but in SK they want $1,500 for a motor with 367,000 km on it!!! Can you believe that.. I’m gonna check out other provinces and hopefully it’s much cheaper. But even after I get the engine I’ll need a 3.4 swap kit too.
@neilyaskowich8266 there is no swap kit or special radiator necessary though?
Yo! What kind of front bumper is that?
What is the transmission that you used on the car?
Stock. R150
How do people learn this stuff? I mean other than a professional education. How do you know you did everything and connected everything after it’s done? I am deep in a rabbit hole on engine swaps, so amazing to watch and see what people can do to make their cars better.
I have no education. Just lots of trial and error. Google is your friend to learn the basics.
@@DirtGarage Greetings from Venezuela. I am doing this swap right now.
My 4runner is a 1992 5 speed and the donor engine comes from a 2001 runner automatic.
I am not a mechanic by profession, I just love cars and I am passionate about mechanics.
At this time I already installed the motor and all the mechanical part, now I am going to start with the electrical part.
But I'm needing the combination meter diagrams, I can't find them online and as you know here in Venezuela it's a bit difficult to find them.
Some of you will have them by chance, I appreciate your help.
I have seen this video like 10 times or more, and I need the diagrams to be able to put the cluster, rpm, speed, to work.
Yep trial and error, 30 years ago when I started doing this stuff there of course was no internet no youtube, , youtube is a giant help when doing this stuff , it seems whatever you can think up for a swap somewhere someone has already done it ,
can you do this with a bundera?
@DIRTGARAGE If you collaborate in a video of 3.4 (5VZ) swap on a Suzuki Samurai it will be a hell of a video:)
everything is on the other side! The airbox, fuse box and battery swap sides.
Just battery and Intake swap sides.
Cool video! can't wait to see driving!
About to tackle this same swap into my 93 4 runner, but I have IFS. Do I still need to swap out the oil pickup tube and swap the oil pan from my 3.0 engine or can I just leave the 3.4 oil pickup tube and pan since I don't have SAS? Awesome detailed video!
Even more important on the IFS. That pan is shaped specifically to clear 3.0 IFS. 3.4 pan will no clear front suspension.
@@DirtGarage Just wanted to say that your video was extremely helpful in doing my first 3.4 into 2d gen swap!
How can one add AC to a 1988 Toyota pickup with 3.4 swap?
Put some AT-205 in that engine hoist and it will stop bleeding down.
The 3.0 must go, like you said the 3.4l is so much better. No comparison to the 4cyl which is what I originally had.
You don't have to cut the fuel line if you are not in a hurry. On a 4cyl truck there is a threaded coupler you can use to connect the two. That couple is located near the fuel tank or towards the engine along the hard line. From 4cyl to 3.4l you want the fuel line from 3.0engine flip it 90* and couple that to the fuel line on the pass side. As with Toyota brake lines the thread pitch is the same, longer brake lines needed just add a stock brake line, and that is the same with fuel line hoses.
I did this same swap just not to long ago into my 84-04 SR5/TRD pickup, and yes that's is all the years/generations of Toyota's my rig is built with. When I did the 3.4l swap I took it one step further by rewiring the complete truck from fuse box harness, battery harness, dash harness, fuel pump, all the way back to the tails lights. Moved the battery to left hand side and also installed a complete dash and HVAC system out of a first gen Tacoma. The 04 e-locker works as Toyota intended with the stock switch and the speedometer is driven by my 84 RF1A transfer case. Everything under the hood is out of the a first gen Tacoma and in the same location as well, right down to the opening in the firewall for the engine harness. You would never tell that my rig didn't come like this from the factory. Next engine swap may just in fact be the V8, that job will get a 3.4l to 4.7l adapter harness when I locate one.
It was full. Just wasn't tightened. It was moving so slow we didn't notice, but you can definitely tell in time-lapse
At-205 will help the seals reseal and it won't leak down.
Also the link for the crossover forum is missing in the description I've noticed.
I'm debating a v8 swap also , but this is in my 1st gen Tacoma, going with the 1uz though for the weight savings
Does it work with the 3.0 transmission?
Yes
Hey, Currently working on a 3.0 to 3.4 swap… is there any harm with using the baffle from the 3.0?
On the right side where the ac compressor mount interfaces with the engine mount, there’s a gap.Did you use a shim to compensate for the gap? 3.0 mount seems to be thicker than 3.4 where it bolts to the block.
Just did the swap myself and didn't run into this issue? Curious to see what you're talking about tho
😮😮😮 bro. Your Awesome... I enjoy your show.
This is an awesome video thank you for the time you took to make it simple and easy. Do you have a detailed video like this for the 1uz you just did? Thanks again brotha subscribed
1UZ was done a few years back, and there is a bunch of videos around it. Nothing as all in one as this though.
@@DirtGarage got it thanks
I'm no mechanic but pretty sure you aren't supposed to use the green coolant in toyota trucks. Maybe that contributed to the blown head gasket.
the 3.0 contributed to bad head gasket. I run red in everything, but this engine just had the coolant the 4Runner came with still in the system.
You can run green but you cannot mix them it makes mud,
Is Thrice not touring right now? Lol kidding man - but you do look like Dustin Kensrue.
Love the video!
would this be a good idea for my 99 2.7. mine is knocking
Hey man if your in Oregon I would love the help on doing my wife’s 3.4 swap in her Toyota pickup I’m not good with wiring at all so ya if you could I’m in Portland area
I am not in Oregon
If you not confident with the wiring, couple of companies make and sell harness. I believe one is in Creswell, Oregon.
That’s awesome bro! Thanks for the content.
Everybody I've talked to that have done this swap says to use flywheel and clutch from the 3.4 only the bearing from a 3.0
You can if you want! But all 3.0 stuff also works.
@@DirtGarage guess I'll take a comparison when I get the 3.0 out
So the stock 3.0 manual transmission blows right up to the 3.4
Yes. The manual 3.0 trans bolts to 3.4
@@DirtGarageis there supposed to be a dust cover on the bottom half of the fly wheel? Currently half way through a SAS.. 3.4 engine, putting in the 3.0 transmission but the bottom of the fly wheel is exposed. Doesn’t seem right to me..
@@mckennacooper6170 Yeah, use the 3.0 cover.
I have a 91 4runner with a 3.4, I got it with the TRD supercharger and I am having fitment issues with the hood. I have looked online regarding a 2nd gen hood swap and haven’t gotten anything secure to go with.
Cut out the underside skeleton of the hood yet?
Can I get a link for a diagram
If my 4 runner has a sas I wouldn’t have to worry about the oil pan correct?
You have to worry about the pan.. This is a SAS truck. No matter what the pan needs to be swapped.
How's swapping the 3.4 into a 4runner from a 22re? Will it fit on the trans ?
Nope. Need the v6 trans. But the trans and crossmember from v6 will bolt in
I have a 91 pick up. Can this be done with the stock suspension or should I lift it and put a solid front in before the swap?
No lift or solid axle required. Process is the same either way.
Why you have to change the oil dip stick ?
To match new sump location on pan
Where you get the diagram for the 3.4 l
Toyota Dealership.
@@DirtGarage ok
Where do ya get the prints you have????
Toyota dealership
do i just go and ask for them or do they charge???
@@DirtGarage
So what happens with the two plugs that u have from the 3.0 with the wires cut?
Those are the body plugs.
Where do you get your wiring diagrams? I need one for a 97 T100 and a 94 Pickup both 4x4 manual trans.
Dealerships
The world needs the first 22r to 5vzfe DETAILED swap. IT DOESNT EXIST!
It's essentially the same. We have a video on that too. Still mostly bolt on with right trans. But gotta make engine mounts.
yes but the wiring and fuel systems is for sure different@@DirtGarage
@@sebastiencolon2944 Not much different. You'd need a fuel pump and just do a basic harness for it with switched power.
I got a harness built and now in the stage of having to splice into the body harness and don't know where to start without pulling the whole dash and tracing wire by wire@@DirtGarage
@@sebastiencolon2944 Pretty much what you have to do. Older trucks hard to find a reliable diagram.
where did you get your motor?
I believe this one came from Facebook marketplace.
Stupid question but can you use an auto ecu in a manual. I have a 93 3blow and got a 5vzfe and can only find auto ecu's. If it posible?? 😅
Yup. This one we used a auto ecu. Most 3.4 swaps I've done we used auto ecus
Is the 3.4 better than the 22re in terms of reliability and durability?
Yes, these motors go forever. I've seen alot more killed 22res than I have 3.4s
@@DirtGarage thanks. Do you know how much it costs to do the swap? Just labor?
I am from the Dominican Republic I would like to know which mechanical transmission fits the 5vz help please??🙏🙏
R150
@@DirtGarage Thank you brother from the heart 🙏
If I were to do this on my 22re will the engine mounts bolt up ?
Nope. We have a video doing this to a 85 pickup with a 22RE. We had to make the mounts

Hi, can you share the diagrams?
You get them fon dealership or TIS
Hey man I’m doing This swap to, I bought a 2000 model 4Runner with the 3.4 and automatic transmission. I’m putting it into my 1989 4Runner but it’s a manual will the computer still work even though there 2 different transmissions?
Probably not. Not because it's a automatic, but because it's a 2000 model, I always try and tell people to stay away from 99+ because they commonly have immobilizers. If your lucky it won't, usually base model trucks won't, but limiteds have generally all have immobilizers, but also some SR5s 😅. Either way if it doesn't have one your set, the motor, harness and ecu we used in this was from a auto and we attached it to a manual.
Ok cool thanks man! That was a great video!
The question is Possible to do it and automatic transmission
Cool makes me want to do one for fun

@@monette44 No chance. You learn your lesson once. You have no idea what my fire anxiety is like these days

The truck came with an EGR delete set up, as well as a cold air intake simplification mod when I bought it. If you (or anyone) could offer some guidance, I am by myself and really need help. Thanks!
Hey brother I’m in the same exact situation. What did you end up doing?
Another awesome video man. How often do you get people asking about thay front axle housing? Lol
Happens somewhat often haha
Sr I have question l have 1995 4runner and I tried to do the swap but my trasmision is automatic and I have trouble with the wire harness harness
You need to use the automatic from the 3.4! Then to get the transfercase to drop on correct side you need an adapter to go from 3.4 auto to gear drive case from earlier Toyota 4 cyl.
Sorry I didn't I don't know a lot So all I got is the transmission from 3.0 is not going to work ?
@JoseAguilar-lh5bq No, the 3.0 transmission will bolt up, but will not function, the 3.4 computer can not talk to it.
Ok thanks for your help
Hi I need advise with this problem I have with the transmission I don't know what to Get of automatic transmission on manual for the 3.4 swap what is the best solution

Next time just drill the dip stick hole instead of knocking it out works the same
It can be easy to knock it out.
@@DirtGarage exactly why would you spend time drilling if you can just knock it out 😂
@@Red_Beard_Builds Because it broke in half in this video.
@@DirtGarage I remember both of my motors had a plug that I used a punch to knock out and replaced with my 3.0 plug and just replaced it , I know some motors you have to drill them out right ?
