Need to buy a transmission jack for a Tacoma clutch - HF has asale - advice?
Wish I was young again! Took two people to change heavy hydramatics. One under the car to drop it down. The second person would pull you out by your feet with the transmission upon your chest.

> How heavy is a W59 Toyota Tacoma transmission anyway? Don't know. But I did a clutch job on my FJ40. I'd estimate the tranny and transfer to weigh about 250 lbs. I can lift them if they are lying on the ground, but not to position them for reinstallation. I took the floor panel off (over the transmission), opened both doors, ran a beam through the doors and hung a chain hoist from it. I don't know if a Tacoma has such a floor panel. -- Paul Hovnanian ------------------------------------------------------------------ Excuse me for butting in, but I'm interrupt-driven. |

To confuse the issue DOT 5 is silicone based and not compatible with any of the others. Mixing them won't work. At best they'll separate out. The progression mostly comes down to higher boiling points. Disc brakes have less thermal mass than the older drum brakes and can get hotter in operation. ABS adds a few more factors. I have DOT 5 in my '98 Harley. It's claims to fame are it doesn't absorb water and doesn't harm paint. It does absorb air and is a bitch to bleed. I don't know how widespread it is. It doesn't work with ABS and I've never had a car with it, just the bike. Since you'll be replacing the seals I'd just flush with 4 and fill it with 4 when you're done. It's a little more expensive but nothing that will break the bank. |

DOT 4 meets and excedes all specs for DOT4 - use it in good faith. It can handle higher temperatures - DOT 4 was introduced for high performance disc brakes that boiled and cooked DOT3. DO NOT use DOT5. |

If you haven't I don't know if you need any honing tools or not and would go with the re-hacked stuff. -- Tekkie |
