I'm getting ready to change the transmission mount on my '87 4runner
with a manual transmission. The big center nut on the new mount is
loose, and I can't find specs on what this should be torqued to. Also, I
assume this should have loctite on it. It looks almost impossible to
tighten it once the mount is in place. Thanks for any info.

Hey!
Got one for an 86 pickup here and it looks like the bolt is only there
to check any torque motion from the engine-transmission. The mount
seats from the weight of the transmission-transfer. I'd put some
thread lock on the bolt and tighten the nut firmly.

That's what I sorta thought, but I was looking for someone to confirm.
What's the deal? Only getting 21 years out of a mount? :) Had to be a
manual tranny mount too because I had spare motor mounts and automatic
mounts laying around.

Speaking of stuff laying around, I have this 20R engine laying around
and was wondering if that bolts up to a 85 4runner transmission?

21 years is pushing it a bit but, we all get a  lazy. I'm restoring an
86 turbo 4x4 4 22R-TE here with 270k on the OD. It's a CA truck that's
never been in a crash. Recently found it's replacement drivetrain on
craigslist. 72k on the new find. I'm tempted to restore both trucks.

I'm not familiar with this motor but have heard that it's evan more
reliable than the 22R family. Instead of being built like a tank, it's
built like a battleship!  Dump a message up here and i'm sure someone
will jump in with an answer.

It's still in the vehicle, a 1978 mini-mirage camper. After all these
years, the camper part is shot. I may just turn it into a flatbed truck.
That depends on how chopped up I find the rear window area after I rip
the camper off of it.

Hey!
Sounds like a huge project. Good luck!
