Multimode into 99-00 5spd swap

[Edubsam]

How would this work? Prohibitively hard?

I have done a little research, but all I could find was about going the other way, i.e. dropping a manual transmission into a limited or 01-02.

Based on what I have read, the transfer case should bolt right on, but it's a bit longer so you would have to change drive lines too. There were also some electrical issues I think, but I just don't know enough about the electrical stuff to really comprehend. Again, these were the issues of putting a manual into a runner that already has the multimode. I'm trying to go the other way - put a multimode into a 5 spd.

I think it's primarily cost prohibitive and very complex since you need all the AWD sensors and related hardware at each wheel plus the electrical is generally a nightmare.

I've never seen it done or heard of it being done and being on several Toyota forums I think I'd seen it by now.

I think it would be easier and much better to put in a lefty instead.

But if you really want multimode, it will be a wiring nightmare if you dont know what you are doing because you will have to integrate a Multimode computer in to the original wiring. If you do know what your doing it will probably be a pain in the ass at best.

I have thought about integrating a switch into mine for the ADD to engage and disengage when I wanted it too. It would act like an electronic twin stick. But mehh probably not worth the added effort.

Mmmm... Lefty?

Do you still have the links for those thread about 5-speed into an 01-02?

I am not interested in doing it myself, but I do want to see how these guys went about doing it.

All I could find was theoretical stuff. Nothin really like a write up. They were on yotatech. Just googled "multimode into manual swap" or something close to that and it was like the first link.

There is a thread around page 55 covering a auto to manual swap.. hectic!

I can't find one relating to this either.

The only other mention iv seen of this is in brian's t case differences thread

IIRC I asked that question.

 

[Edubsam]

Indeed you did.
