For those who have installed the 5 speed tranny from a Trooper (or the like). Was it a direct bolt in? By that I mean: Was there any fabrication required? Was the Troop tranny the same length as the Luv's? Where did the stick for the xfer case come out? I found a tranny and, if I'm going to do it, I want to do it simultaneously with the motor swap.

Thanks in advance...

yes it all just bolts together noproblem

do u know the gear ratios of the trooper 5 speed and is it as low as the luvs. and how low is 4 lo? i was thinking of this but i want low gears. and i need first to be lo so i don't always have to use 4lo just to get it lo. matt

lf you stick with 14ins rims it will pull anything in low

What year trooper are you going to use?

It'll be one out of a 2.3, 2.6, or 2.8. The one I found is out of an '85. I've since found a few locally for less than the one in the yard. I wonder if the one from the 2.8 will fit. I can get it from a place 2 hours away...

I saw an early trooper drive by my place yesterday with a for sale sign. That would be another in the area, somewhere. Sounded like a 1.8L running on 3 cyls so it might be going cheap, it managed to limp by too fast for me to catch a number, price, or anything more than the fact it was for sale. Look for a red and white/cream trooper chugging like choo choo train. (I tink I can, I tink I can, I tink.. awfugit)

This thread came up in a search for me and I had to laugh. That trooper I saw chugging past me is sitting right outside now. I bought it and fixed it up, and still have it 10 years later.

You do now that this thread is over 10 years old right, I doubt it's still for sale.

Actually, now that you mention it, this truck is about to be for sale again. I just bought a 95 Trooper with a slight tranny problem. (Gear selection issues, not clothing/life choices)
