Hey group.....I've tried to look for general information about a 5-speed swap for my '77 LUV. In order to avoid the group having to reiterate what's already been said I looked for the archives. I cannot find them 'to save my LUV'. This is the second time I have looked but no luck. Would someone lead me through this problem? Thanks a bunch! Don

Any 2wd pickup with the 4ZD1 2.3L engine, 1986-1995. Use everything from the clutch forwards from the '77. Get the splined yoke for the tailshaft with the tranny, it will likely be a different diameter and spline count than the 4sp.
Remove 4sp, install 5sp, mate 5sp splined yoke to 4sp driveshaft.
Look in the drivetrain topic of the forum re p'up 5sp swap, several pages there.
