I've been told on here that a 86-90 tropper tranny will bolt to my
80 luv 4x4 and that I will just need to change the front driveline. I found out that mid year in 87 the troopers tranny changed from cast iron to aluminum. I found a 84 1.9Liter 5spd online it loooks like it might work but I am wondering if anyone on here has acutally put a trooper tranny
in there luv.
Thanks! =-)

Hey! I'm not exactly sure which Trooper tranny will bolt up, but I would like to do it (in the future) too. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before so maybe a search would help you. I'll see what I can find out...

Wurd. If you can figure out that it fits, post pics and such so those of us that want to do it, can without too much trouble . Good luck and keep us informed.

i'm not sure what years would be right. i have heard it's one of the late model 80's. 88 or 89.

I just need 2 things more and my garage will be a full service shop. A chop saw, (getting a dewalt 14 inch from lowes 120 bux.) and a plasma cutter (not getting one for a while from lincoln electrics for 2000 bux) I am ready to start building my new chassis. I have to wait till friday so I can buy the cop saw and the steel. My welder will be here Thursday.

i know thats what 4 low is for but i love having a low first gear as well cause i can just creep up stuff in 1 without using 4 low. i use first probably more than i use 4 hi wheelin. but if n e body knows i would appreciate it. matt

Don't get miffed. Just givin you a little shit. It feels like troopers either have a higher first gear of a higher gear ratio than luvs. Thats what it feels like when I drove one.

sorry if thats how it came off i was just saying. i still might do it but does n e body know what 4 low ratio and 1st ratio is. as long as 4 low is as low if not lower than i will probably do it and if its higher will my t-case bolt on to the 5spd?matt

You really don't have a transfer case in a luv. They are one unit. The t-case is just a propeller shaft drive. It is made into the transmission.



That little box under the 4 w d shifter is the front output shaft.

But its still called a "transfer case". Even if you look at the GM shop manual, it refers to the different sections of the tranny separately, and calls it a transfer case. Just givin you a little shit.

Yup.
