    So, I have a 1975 Hilux with what I believe is the L43 trans. I know eventually (probably in the near future) its going to need to either be rebuilt or replaced. I have always wanted to have a 5 speed in the truck, but im not familiar with what can be swapped out and still fit right. Anyone got some insight on this? If I can find a 5 speed trans to bolt in place of the old 4 speed L43, that would be a dream come true.

    If its from the same generation truck make sure you take the trans xmember. Otherwise any W or L series trans with a 20R/22R bellhousing will fit
