I was wondering if I could use my bell housing of the luv I now have and add 1st generation s10 T5 tranny to my 82 luv diesel. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone knows where I can get parts for the tranny that would work also.

No, your bell housing won't fit anything but an Isuzu MSG-5 transmission. Now, you CAN mount it on a later-model MSG-5 from a 2.3L '86-'87 P'up or 2.3L '88-'95 Isuzu Pickup. They're fairly easy to find, and a whole lot cheaper than rebuilding. And they're much stronger than the '82 transmissions.

Where are you located?

im in springfield Missouri. thanks for that info on the later model msg-5 trannys. I was getting really worried because I think I have input shaft problems and cant find parts anywhere. so I will find one of the later model trannys and switch bell housings. Is there any problems with drive shaft length or anything like that I need to look for in this application? Also will my bell housing bolt straight up with no modification?

The newer transmissions have a larger output shaft with different splines. You will need a slip yoke that fits the new transmission, but fits your driveshaft. Those are getting hard to find.
