I own a 1981 Luv Diesel 4X2 with the 5 speed manual transmission. The transmission went out on me and am looking to upgrade to the more reliable 5 speed out of an 86 Izuzu pup, which I already have been able to buy. I believe there is an entire how to forum to this effect on the site. I know I will need a 26 spline output shaft to convert. I was looking for advise on where to go about getting these parts and what else I may need, as I am not nearly as mechanically versed as you all.

Thanks so much and I appreciate your time.

-Kyle

Join the club! And of course, let us know if you find more than one. :wink:

You are correct that this topic has been well-covered. Just put "5 speed swap" into the site search and you'll find all the detailed info you'll need.

As I understand it though, the rest of it is peanuts compared to getting a hold of one of the slip yokes you mentioned.

Good luck!

Sorry I missed this post. Subject lines that simply ask for help are not specific enough. If "'81 LUV" or "diesel" had been mentioned, I'd have been all over it.

I already replied to your "For Sale" post, but I'd rather help you get it back on the road. You have the transmission, so don't give up now!

Do you just need a slip yoke?

Jack
