There's no mention of transmission gear ratios in this thread.

Has anyone got a gear ratio chart, comparing the LUV 4-speed to the Pup 5-speed?

Also, a little Off-Topic, but since the subject has come up in this thread...do the Isuzu "Z" series engines interchange with the "G" series engines...in terms of the motor mounts? will a 2.3 or 2.6 bolt into my '75 LUV?

so you can literally swap parts from an GM which is the equivalent of any Isuzu? All but rebadge Chevy from Isuzu itself.

Have a question about all the 5-speed swapping. I have a 79 longbed with stock 1.8 4-speed setup. Also have a 5-speed from an 88 or 89 P'up that was a 2.3, so the cable setup was the same. The input shaft has more splines than the LUV 4-speed. Is there a clutch kit I can buy to make this work, or do I need an older 5-speed?

Will the stock speedo work with the 5 speed from the 4 speed or do I need to calibrate it

No. Yes. That all depends on what the 5-speed came from, and what you're driving.

From what I read here so far the easiest drivetrain swap for a 76 LUV would be anything before 87?

If I had an 89 Pickup would I be able to transplant the entire drive train? (My 76 has a seized engine and the tranny was close to dead too)

Can I use the 89 Pickup 4 cyl. engine with the same motor mounts already in my 76 LUV?

I understand the Pickup drive line will have to be shortened since it's coming out of a long bed PUP and my LUV is short bed.

Then I would use the LUV's rear leaves for the Pickup rear axle?

Would I also need to take the Pickup's master cylinder?

IF you had one, you'd have the ONLY one. There were no PUPs after '87.

Here's some more, from that thread...
Code:
       Gas      Turbo DSL     NON-Turbo DSL   Turbo Impulse
1ST   3.431       3.785          4.122            3.431
2ND   1.969       2.171          2.493            1.963
3RD   1.364       1.413          1.504            1.364
4TH   1.000       1.000          1.000            1.000
5TH    .855        .855           .855             .755

I _believe_ the column labeled as "Gas" refers to the transmissions AFTER 1986, but I'm not certain. I do know that there were MAJOR changes in the '86 and later MSG-5 transmissions including a different countershaft ratio, which would affect 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gear ratios. If someone needs it, I can look at my shop manual and see what it says for the 1983 gas and diesel P'up, and it should be the same for all 1981-1985 transmissions. But I always try to discourage people from using the 1981-1985 transmissions because they were pretty failure-prone. That's why they were modified in 1986. The '86-up transmission is much stronger.

Tom,

Someone here may already know, but I don't. So let's figure out what transmission is in your truck now. I know the diesels had a Borg Warner transmission that was the same as other Chevy/GM vehicles. If yours has that, forget the Isuzu transmissions and get a T-5. If it has the Isuzu transmission, it will have at least an Isuzu logo somewhere on the housing. Can you check?

Just attacked mine and located that the take hold of is on the cross. Facet. On the 1976 and on the drivers on the 1989 trans. So does any individual understand the place i will be able to get a repair board to fill the gap. Moreover desire a shifter boot the one that goes on the trans itself,fork boot as well. A lot preferred p.S. Has hydro clutch.

Can somebody translate this to English? This looks like a Google translation of something.

I think you're trying to put a 1989 transmission into your 1976 truck. The clutch release arm is on the wrong side. You are also looking for a shifter boot and a clutch release boot.
