Ok so i found an 86 gl-10 with a turbo with 3.7 gears and a push button 4wd so im thinking of pulling the tranny and rearend and putting it in to gramies car that is a non turbo. it has 3.9 gears will I have to change any axels or any thing or will the trans and rearend go right in?

 

Also will the gear change make a big diffrence since its a non turbo Its my gramies car so performance is not a super important aspect. Thanks LT

Are you sure it is a 3.70 ratio? Is this an auto or manual? I am pretty sure that my '87 manual twagon is a 3.90 (as you know, it is raining pretty hard right now so I am not going to lie in the mud to check ).

WHAT its raining @ your house ??? Thats impossible HAHAHA

 

Yep its a manual turbo wagon push button 4wd

And not posative on gearing and the tag is missing from the rearend Im going off what the person who had it told me (but he was kind of a dumb *#%

 

but here is the problem got the trans out of the 88 efi wagon and put the 86 gl-10 turbo trans in the 88( both 5 speed push button 4wd) but the axels wont slide over thr trans splines so I guess there diffrent? or am I the dumb #*%

 

thanks LT

86 Turbo 5 speed - 3.70 and 25 spline axles

88 SPFI (N/A) 5 Speed - 3.90 and 23 spline axles

AH hA so are the axel bigger on both ends ( do I have to switch rotor and hub as well?

Oh yea what about performance aspects because its non turbo?

nah the differing spline counts is on the tranny stubs.

I have one of those trans already out I would sell cheap, let me know if you want it.
