 Post subject: 1981 Luv 4x4 trans
PostPosted: Sat Oct 10, 2009 4:01 pm 
Going to pick up a 1981 Luv 4x4 tomorrow. It has the 1.8 and a 5sp. What transmission/transfer case will it have and what are the gear ratios of the trans and tcase? Also what vehicles can I pillage for another transmission or transfer case to bolt up to the 1.8?

Sorry about the newbie questions this is my first Luv.

a 4x4 5 speed in 81 :?: ..........thats not stock......

normal is a 4 speed, the 5 speed MSG was sold in 86/87 only, in pups and troopers.

88 up all 4x4s got bigger engines 2.6 I-4, 2.8 and 3.1 V-6 there are "very few" 3.1L engines in the 88/95 trucks.

low range is like 1.7 to 1 for the MSG, there are no other gears for the MSG 4 or 5 speed as far as i know.

the newer MUA is about a 2 to 1 and there are kits for up-grading to 3 to 1 about $600 bucks
all MUAs are 5 speeds, and i think the O\D (may be) a little taller than the 14.5% the 86/87 MSG has.
