Can anybody tell me what transmissions will work in my '82 diesel. It currently has a 5 speed (actually a no speed).
Thanks alot
Greg

It had three that would bolt up, the one you have is the MSG5T, the auto was AW-50 and the 4spd I don't remember what it's name was. Personally I would get another 5spd (if you want to) And a 3.4 rear, maybe some intake/exhaust mods and you'll be set.

Great thanks. Any idea where to get one?

Welp, if you can find a diesel LUV/PUP/S-10 then you should be able to just use it's trans, if you find an s-10 diesel then the trans for it is a Borge Warner T5, you'll be a lucky guy.

We have our own spare trans but it's not for sale cause we plan on re-building it sometime as a spare incase mine goes out (you know those freak accidents where your syncro's start to wear out after barking 2nd and going through city traffic )

In order to use the S-10 tranny, you will need the bellhousing from the Isuzu diesel motor used in the S-10--and so far I have not been able to run one down. I am currently building an adapter that would mate a GM bellhousing to an Isuzu motor, though it requires modifying flywheel, (or flexplate), starter etc. But I am finding it hard to find GOOD Isuzu diesel trannys. Most by now have something structurally wrong--at least the ones I have seen.
