I got a 4 Spd box in my 84 scuby and i was hoping to transfer an 85 scuby 5 Spd box over into mine but is the bellhousing the same and do i have to change and of the drive shafts or prop shafts?

And has anyone got one that they wanna sell?

(assuming you want the dual range hi-lo 5spd)

 

yes you can swap in the 5s[d. the bellhousings will be the same if you have the 1800 cc motor or a later 1600 motor. basically if your starter is on the right, and not on top, you will fit the 5spd trans against the motor.

 

use the clutch and flywheel assembly that goes to the ea82, the one that would be original to the 5spd. . if you dont have a flywheel for your trany any flywhell to ANY 4wd 5spd will work the same, even the xt6.

the holes on the flywheel are bigger, but the flywheel will center on the crank snout, and thus the original bolts from your ea81 motor will hold it down. you may have to grind away a little on the bottom corners of the engine bellhousing to clear the starter teeth.

 

there may be some fitment issues in the trans tunnel so you may have to beat it a little. you can also drop the trans crossmember down almost an inch by stacking about $3 worth of washers(miles fox's kit:D )

 

as long as your tranny is from a non turbo it will fit the 84 car's axles. your rear end is 3.9 and a 5spd will also be 3.9 if its from a non turbo.

 

now you will need the 2 piece driveshaft for the 5spd as the trans is longer. also you will need to make amount for the carrier bearing. or you can have your existing driveshaft lengthened

 

your existing clutch cable should work just fine

 

hell while you are at it you can shove an ea82 down there to go with! straight bolt in and run, just take the disty out when you drop in the motor(usa)
