Can anyone tell me what years are interchangeable for trannys. Some say 72-75 then 76-78...then 79-82. Others say 72-77 and 78-82. Any help would be great. Is it the same with engines???

I dont think that you can put an 82 tranny into a 78. the are two completely diferent series and body styles. but from 72 up to, i think 75 the engine is the same, then from 76 to 80 the engines are the same.

i know that on 4x4, 80 and 81 have the same trans, and thats 2 different body styles, not sure about 2wd

Well, looking at all of the history on the forum, it looks like the 72-75 will interchange because the starter is on the driver side. 76 on up has the starter on the passenger side. The 78 they went to a cable clutch system so in order to put a 78 tranny on a 76 body I need new linkage and a modified mount where it exits the firewall. Most people are saying that I should get rid of the slave cylinder and go with cable.....any thoughts??

i would go with the cable.

I've never replaced a clutch cable on my 79. I've rebuilt the slave cylinder three time and replaced the clutch master cylinder twice on my 77. I only rebuilt the slave cyl on my 76 once, but I only drove it about a year before it got hit by a bridge. Two words: GO CABLE.

I am not getting information out of the book on the 72-74's, but I know when I push the clutch pedal it goes to the floor effortlessly.

Did they have the cable or the hydro?
