<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by PJohnson:<BR><B>SuperRunner,<P>I may have some bad news. I checked out my service manual on the A340E. It looks like the output shaft is longer than the A340F and H. The shaft goes further into the two-wheel drive tailhousing and has the speedometer gear on it. The speedo gear on the F and H is in the x-fer.<P>Have you opened the rear of the E trans yet? If it's more than about 3" long, it's probably too long.<P>Phil<BR></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I was wondering about that. But I was thinking that changing the output shaft should not be too hard, and if I can't change it, there is a place in town who will shorten it for me for a resonable price. If it becomes to big of a pain, I may go with a TH350 or TH400, then all I have to worry about is the bellhousing, and the NP will bolt right up.<P>Thanks for the info, guess I need to do some research on the tranny.<P><P>------------------<BR> <A HREF="http://4x4.4t.com" TARGET=_blank>http://4x4.4t.com</A>
