i have an '89 toyota truck with a failing transmission. it's a W series. what does that mean? how is it different than the G series? and, are the W and G transmissions interchangeable?

any help is appreciated.

How do you know the tranny is failing? Is it slipping, grinding, etc?

Is it an automatic or manual transmission? (I also have an 89.)

Hope you get your questions answered. Who else has questions about their Toyota Truck?

Shouldn't be too hard to find one and swap it out if it's a manual. I'd look around for a secondhand one at a picknpull or whatever for a truck of that year, unless you have a good amount of money to throw into it. Not sure about the G or W series as to what the difference is.
