What transmission will fit-W56

Question

I am thinking of buying a used transmission for my 1991 Toyota pickup,

22RE engine, 5-speed manual, 4WD.

Does anyone know what year trannys will fit that year. I looked at

and they have a chart showing that years 89-94 4wd pickup and 4runner would work but I was wondering about the years

85-88. Also would a w56 tranny from a 2wd work?

TIA Larry

The earlier W56's are set up for a top-shifting t-case, the later ones (like youlikely have) are set up for a forward shifting case, not a huge issue:

As far as I know, the W56s for 22REs were 21 splines, on the 22RET (turbos) that used the R151F tranny, it had 23 splines on the output and a different transfer case to boot. Marlin "Crawler" would know for sure. in fact he sells rebuilt trannys at a very reasonable price:
