Thanks to Joe Isuzu I had options for my broken tranny. Locally, I found an 82 diesel tranny (200 bucks) of unknown internals, hired a rebuilder and made one good tranny which is now in my truck and works just fine. I have extra tranny parts available.

Also, discovered a national "hot line" for used parts that it appears most salvage yards use instead of the old "long line" system

www.car-parts.com Plugged in my needs and found a slalvage yard 100 yards down from the foreign yard I had visited the previous day! Hard to believe...especially after I was told not to expect anyone in my city would have such a unit.

Then, thanks to Joe Isuzu, I contacted a fellow in Phoenix where he had and '82 unit and he also found 3 other units in that area...a really nice and sharp fellow.

Again, thank to Joe Isuzu, the site creator and wizard!

If this is referring to me, I don't remember it. I'm definitely not the "site creator and wizard". ;) That would be Ben, but we don't hear much from him lately.

Ok Jack, I have been referring to you as Joe Isuzu because you are the only person who has come to my aid since I first joined this forum.

Meaning, thanks again for helping me!

I have seen no replies on this. Do you happen to still have these parts?

I have an '82 Chevy LUV diesel in need of some transmission parts.

I definitely would like to keep this baby alive.

If you don't get what you need, you may want to consider replacing the transmission with a newer one. The transmissions from '86 and later are much stronger. I'm using an '89 transmission in my '83 P'up. Full details are here: https://www.isuzupup.com/viewtopic.php?t=2615

Hello Jack and AlinktoToa

And I still have several 5 speed transmissions that are out of the trucks. I'm not sure where you are located, but I am in So. Oregon.
