| All V6 Hiluxes use the chain drive tcase and have a 2.57 low
range gear. Most 4 Cylinder Hiluxes use a gear drive t/case with a 2.28 low range. However some 4 cyl trucks use the V6 style chain drive case. The best way to find out what type you have is to look under your truck and count the bolts holding the rear cover in place. |

|
If you have 7 bolts in the rear kidney shape cover
then you have the gear driven unit. |
If you have 5 bolts holding the rear round cover
then you have the chain drive unit. |

Ok now you know how to identify chain and gear driven transfer cases. Next is identifying the difference between top shifting and forward shifting. |
The easy way to tell the difference is 4 speed = top shifting, 5 speed = forward shifting. When Toyota changed to the 5 speed gearbox the extension housing was longer than the 4 speed, this resulted in the need to have 2 shift rails that protruded from the front of the transfer case into the gearbox. If you have a 5 speed gearbox you "should" have the 4x4 lever coming out of the gearbox not the transfer case. No matter what you have now as long as it is gear driven you need a top shifting transfer to be the donor box. if you cannot locate a top shifting TC you can still buy and convert a forward shifting TC to top shifting. |
