I am asking your opinion on what is the strongest Toyota manual
transmission. The intended use is behind a modified 22RE at about
150hp. This will be in a 1985 or later 2wd pickup. I have been told
that the post ’85 5sp can only handle about 140 ft-lb of torque. This
vehicle will be used under race conditions on unpaved roads.
Your input is most welcome.
Thanks, Tim

The 22RET tranny is even stronger:

OTT makes an adapter to put the sm420 behind the toyoya, they handle
SB and BB power.

Celica. If you get it out of a Supra you may have to change bell housing with
yours. Great ratios and lots of pull throughout the gears. 5th gear is .765:1 vs
.865:1 for the stock truck. You won’t even need to change the rear mount. I have
one in my 84 2wd and I love it.
