Any progress on this? If I could do this swap for the price of a KM145 rebuild, I would.


Hi Guys thanks for asking, the trans is done and ready to go in at this point.
I have decided to go with the waggy front axle as well (SAS Jeep just makes sense) So that is in the works now. I have the axle and im figuring out my front coil setup. I will only need to make a custom rear drive line ( may go Sr rear disk too later) The front will just need to be shortened from what I measure. I will not know for sure tell its all together. My work will be slowing down so I will have more time to get it all done.
Honestly from having the Km145 next to the jeep/toyota trans I wouldnt use one. This 5 speed is built way better all around and has a larger input bearing. Plus its the same as the toyota G54 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
