Here's a good transmission question!

[67GMCMatt]

I found a good deal on a complete pullout with low milage, the catch is it is out of a 4x4 tahoe. (Up here in North Dakota there isn't alot of 2wd pickups) I want a 2wd tranny, what is different between the 4x4 tranny and the 2wd tranny, can I make it work? Or should I just keep looking for a pullout with a 2wd tranny. Can I just put on a 2wd tail shaft housing and call it good?

You have to disassemble the tranny and swap out the output shaft as well. Its shorter on the 4wd.

That doesn&#39;t sound very fun..............back to the drawing board&#33;

I found out the hard way.

Yeah, to install the output shaft you have to disassemble every last part inside the trans. Looking for a 60 or 80E? There are a lot of builders that sell them on Ebay for a decent price. Shop around, watch the newspapers, pick up your local bargain post magazine....if you have time, be patient, a good deal will come along.

Hmm... did not know the output shaft was different. Good to know... just in case my 60E (stock) decides to give out on me soon.
