1988-1994 Toyota Pickup JDM 3VZ-E | 3.0L Manual 5 Speed 4WD Transmission

Vehicle Fitment

This transmission serves as a direct replacement for the following North American models:

• Toyota Pickup 4WD (V6 Models): 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994

• Chassis Code: N80 / N90 / N100 / N110

• Compatibility Note: Specifically for the 3.0L V6. It will not bolt up to the 2.4L 22R-E engine due to bellhousing and input shaft differences (the 22R-E uses the W56 transmission).

JDM to USDM Installation & Technical Guide

To ensure a perfect fit and long-term reliability, professional Toyota technicians recommend these steps:

• Bellhousing & Clutch: The JDM R150F usually includes the bellhousing. Ensure you use a high-quality clutch kit (236mm) designed for the USDM 3VZ-E to match your flywheel and pressure plate.

• Transfer Case Configuration: JDM units typically include the chain-driven transfer case. Verify that the shifter orientation and output flanges match your USDM driveshafts. Many installers choose to bolt their original USDM Transfer Case onto the JDM transmission to ensure the shifter falls perfectly in the factory interior console.

• Sensors: Transfer your original USDM Reverse Light Switch and 4WD Indicator Switch to the JDM unit. This ensures your dashboard lights and reverse lights function without modifying the harness.

• Fluid Requirements: Fill with high-quality 75W-90 GL-4 or GL-5 Gear Oil. Pro Tip: Using a high-quality synthetic gear oil can significantly improve cold-weather shifting in these R-series gearboxes.
