Yeah, anything that has to due with the internal linkage is suspect to, like played out detents, and interlocks. I've seen a bent shift fork cause hard to change gears in a manual transmission. Even seen worn synchros, and gears cause rough shifting issues. Rebuilding an r150 isn't cheap. If it's that worn out, the rest of the trucks drivetrain can't be far behind. I've been talking with a friend that his kid is going through similar issues with a worn out manual transmission in his 2003 tacoma. Seems gen1 guys don't know when they've had enough pain. Imo, it would be time to move on.Thx for the reply. The transmission guy (who only does bench rebuilds) told me this unit (R150) often has a worn linkage plate which is in addition to the rebuild kit. Then also possibly a new shift fork. Does this sound about right?

Yes I watched most of the two videos...seems like it's best to fin a shop that's familiar with this unit.have you seen this?
Maybe jay can help you seeing he's posted the video's ...he's had his rebuilt.Yes I watched most of the two videos...seems like it's best to fin a shop that's familiar with this unit.

Can you share you thoughts on having your transmission rebuilt? I think I'm looking at ~3k or so.have you seen this?
Are you shipping it?Can you share you thoughts on having your transmission rebuilt? I think I'm looking at ~3k or so.
having it r&R at a shop and bringing it to another shop for a bench rebuild. I got a quote for labor and suspected parts from the second shop but am a bit worried it'll end up being more involved.Are you shipping it?
Removing it diy style?
I have about 20k miles on it with one fluid change
thanks 160K miles...don't know how the first owner drove.Depends on the trucks mileage. If it's a tranny with high mileage, expect the worst. Usually when high mileage parts are reused that appear so-so, you don't get the best rebuild. Something never seems right.
I replaced the clutch a few years ago (the popping started recently). haven't put that many miles on it since. First owner had a full work shell on it and must have driven hard.Thats odd for needing one of these transmissions rebuilt at only 160k...usually its the ones well over 250k miles that begin going downhill. The previous owner must of shifted it a lot, having those issues already. Kind of makes one wonder how the clutch looks. I'd be willing to guess, there's not a whole lot wrong if driven normally.
Yea, bad luck.ya IDK
341k on my rigs R150F
and never NEVER did it ever pop out of gear like this
NEVER...
Learned long ago never buy a used work vehicle, especially a manual one that gets driven by more than one person. They usually get beat with poor maintenance. Idk if you can call that bad luck, more like bad choice.I replaced the clutch a few years ago (the popping started recently). haven't put that many miles on it since.

yea he was an electrician...don't believe it was a crew truck. the 3.4, suspension, and most other parts has held up so far. fingers crossed. I might have to live with it for awhile if I can't find an affordable way to fix it.Learned long ago never buy a used work vehicle, especially a manual one that gets driven by more than one person.
