The transmisiion is a Borg-Warner T5 and is very common. Locating another one should be very easy to do. The only difference will be internal gear ratios, as the diesel had lower first and second. I'm using one from a 4cyl gas and it works great. All mid 80's to mid 90 S10/S15 manual transmissions were B-W T5. I wouldn't bother with the old one, just use the bell housing from the diesel and bolt it onto another T5.
Well seeing as I wont be doing the work myself, is it actually not advisable to just bring it to a transmission shop? ( Especially since I'm hoping to get it for maybe $500)
Another thought is to do an engine swap(as the rest of the truck is very suspect)with another S10 of that year with a 5 speed? Trying to look at all my options here. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
