is it possible to run an isuzu 5 peed 4x4 tranny+ T case without the T case?

tranny is from an 83-84 pup turbo diesel.

trying to fit in a different vehicle,(toyota 1 ton truck) and having clearance issues.

anyone in new england want to trade this 4x4 tranny for a two wheel drive version? any other options?

I suppose it is possible, but since the t-case is integrated with the tranny you would have to physically chop the t-case portion of the housing off of the transmission to gain any clearance...I would look for other alternatives, personally.

FIRST BETTER CHECK THE VEH THIS TRANS CAME FROM , THERE WERE NO 5PSD TRANS WITH A TRANS FER CASE BEFORE 86 AND THEN ONLY 2 YEARS FOR THIS TRANS 86-87 WERE 5 SPD , ANYTHING PRIOR TO 86 WOULD BE A 4 SPD, BUT TOO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ON THIS PARTICULAR TRANS WEATHER IT IS A 4 SPD OR A 5SPD , YOU CAN UNBOLT THE FRONT OUTPUT SECTION FROM THE SIDE OF THE TRANS FER CASE AND MAKE A PLATE TO CVR IT AND JUST USE IT AS A 4 0R A 5 SPD HOWEVER YOU WILL LOOSE THE ABILITY TO USE THE LOW RANGE IN THE T/C , AND REMOVING THE ENTIRE T/C FROM THE TRANS , YOU WOULD NEED A LOT OF PART TO CONVERT IT TO A 2WD ONLY AS STEVE IN THE NEXT POST MENTIONED THESE T/C,S ARE INTEGRAL TO THE TRANS,THEY DONT JUST UNBOLT AND BE REMOVED VERY EASY, YOU WOULD BE MUCH AHEAD JUST TO GET A 2WD FOR YOUR APPLICATION ,TOYOTA TRANNYS ARE MUCH MORE PLENTIFUL THAN TRYIGN TO ADAPT THE ISUZU TRANS ESP THAT ONE WHICH IS AN MSG TRANS AND IS NOT A HEAVY DUTY TRANS, THE LATER MODEL MUA TRANS WHICH ARE ALLSO PLENTIFUL CAN HANDLE ABOUT ANYTHING THE TOYOTA COULD THROW AT IT , JERRY

Thanks for the tips- I really dont think this would be easy.

Jerry- you mention Toyota Transmissions- do they bolt up? is there a certain year I should be looking for?? or is an adapter plate needed??

thanks, mo

Also- I am not 100% on the year, it is a fiver, and a turbo diesel, so it must be 86? and the finished objective is to have a diesel powered toyota one ton.

NO ,ON THE ADAPTER TO THE ISUZU DSL TO THE TOYO TRANS, YOU CAN CONVERT THE ISUZU, TRANS YOU HAVE FROM A 4WD TO A 2WD HOWEVER YOU WILL NEED TO FIND A COMPLETE 2WD TRANS , AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE COMPLETE 4WD TRANNY, TRY AND LOCATE ANY 2.3 GAS TRANS FROM AN 88-91 ISUZU PICKUP, REMOVE THE FRT CASE HALF FROM THE DSL TRANS AND THEN DO THE GAS TRANS THE SAME WAY AND SWAP THE DSL FRT HALF OVER TO THE GAS TRANS , YOU HAVE A PRETTY STOUT TRANS BEHIND THE DSL NOW , EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME DESIGN AS THE TRANS YOU NOW HAVE THE INTERNALS ARE A GOOD DEAL LARGER , , AND THE DRIVE SHAFT YOKE WILL FIT EITHER OUTPUT SHAFT, FOR GET ABOUT TRYING TO ADAPT THE TOYO TRANS TO THE ISUZU DSL, IT WILL COST MANY TIMES MORE THAN WHAT YOU WILL EVER GAIN.
