Ok, so not much progress on the actual wrenching the last couple of weeks...my son bought his first house and decided that he needed a pickup instead of a Lexus. We've been working on his new-to-him 96 Toyota Tacoma v6 5spd 4x4...nice little truck with only 125k on it but needing a little love.

That said, I've decided to bite the bullet and go for the 6 speed swap while everything is out and easy to get to. I've been under the delusion that my tip box would hold up, but the more I think about it, the more likely there were a few hints that it was not too happy. After pricing torque converters and talking to a few about a rebuild, I decided to divert my funds and pick up Jolio's SteveKen conversion kit and just get it done! The car has been laid up since April/May, so it's not like a few more months will kill me. Plus I'll have more time to work on it after we get through the holiday season with my work situation. I did drive Jolio's RS6 when he had it with the same conversion, and even though I didn't ride it hard, I could tell that I would really enjoy it!

Soooo, anyone have a line on a decent 6 speed trans and swap parts....
