Title: Tacoma transmission question
Post by: Gobble Doc on June 22, 2019, 10:48:57 PM: I bought a used 2015 Tacoma <30K miles. The tranny is shown in pictures. Does it look like an original part? Does anyone know what the green writing might be?

Your pictures are of a transfer case that looks to be factory and stock installed. Though that is purely a guess. Someone could have installed a brand new unit clean as a whistle.

Are you thinking it has been replaced yet he seller didn't disclose it?
