For those that are looking for the original seal design (50001), look for the Altrom/KP Gasket part number 211 8401 (made in Japan) at NAPA. It's the only "50001" replacement part that I've found that is actually the old design.

Not long after I started this thread, the leak stopped for a while, so I moved on to higher priority projects for a while. I had purchased the 50006 seal from Toyota, because it was all they offered, and ran to all of my local parts stores to compare it to what they had; even those that were...

Maybe next time for the other side, but I already have the 144k mile axle, complete with brakes, ready to go in for what should be a quick, easy job. It's looking like doing it with all new parts and having a shop do the pressing would still run $900+, in addition to a lot more time... a lot for...

The seal needs to be replaced with new, but I'm getting conflicting info on model numbers and how well they fit the shaft in the stock retainer spacing... The axle/bearing design on these isn't conventional; instead of a bearing in the axle tube that is lubed via oil bath, there is a seal...

I have a '98 with a leaking rear axle seal. Since the bearing has been compromised with gear oil, I'm looking at replacing the whole axle shaft assembly (with bearing) with a non-leaking used one (about $50 at my local pull-a-part)... My concern is that I've read that there is a revised version...

Okay, finally figured out the input spline, it's 20 count, for anyone who is looking in the future. Now I have a new problem; it seems there were at least 4 different variations for the pumps for the A340F: R97500A; 3.375" stator shaft, .420" thick gears R97500BA; 3.375" stator shaft, .420"...

Did you get a chance to check it out?

I need a torque converter, but they are hard to find in stock. I found one at CariD, specifically for my VIN, for a 26 spline. However, other sources are showing that the A340F for 3rd gen 4Runners should be 20 spline. The only applications that I find for the 26 spline are the 2.7 4Runners and...

So, now that 5 years have gone by, how did the TC swap work out? I'm in the exact same boat, same problem. In 32 years of driving, this is the best shifting AT I've ever driven and I don't want to mess that up swapping with another used unit.

So any verdicts on these various whining scenarios? I'm having a whining issue in my 98 as well, sounds like power steering, but only whines when I put it in drive or reverse. It changes pitch with the engine rpms. It seems to me that a failing pump would whine even in neutral or park, and make...

Thanks, I guess this is my answer:

I have a 98 Limited with the 1A1 Anthracite Gray primary color and I need to touch up/repaint some of the darker gray plastic body cladding... is there a way to find the paint code for this? Only the primary color is on the VIN tag...

That's the problem, I couldn't find a part# for the fob or anything that suggested FCC ID... I'm beginning to think that it didn't come with one. Might have to go aftermarket.

I searched my VIN on the toyodiy site, but couldn't find anything regarding FCC ID, any idea what I'm looking for? Edit: I've searched some other VIN decoder sites, not finding anything about remote keyless or FCC ID... Edit again: Also followed the link to your FOB, and entered the VIN; it...

Just bought a 98 Limited that didn't come with a fob... Read on this thread to look at the box under the seat to get the FCC ID, but the only box under my seat is an amp. It does not have the alarm LED on the left side of the dash that my 2000 SR5 had. What are my options? Keyless entry is a...
