ok this guy i know has a 90 2wd that was a parts delivery truck, according to the codes it has a G40 4speed and 3.07 R&P G662-axle code

the question is can it be made into aG52-54 by adding the 5th gar like on the L45 and L50-52

I think it'd be easier for him to find a w55 5spd that most of those trucks came with.

not all that wierd, carb was an option until at least '90 in 2wds in the US.

i had a G40 in my '84 pickup. tightest shifting tranny i've ever driven, super slick, and had about 6" of shifter throw. i'd put one in my 4x4 if i could find a way to put a t-case behind it -- i've found that bombing down the highway in 4th is much more comfortable than it was with my old u-joints(mine were shot so they had some nasty vibes at 60mph, i thought it had to do with my tranny before for some reason). nice to be able to punch it and move rather than having to drop to 4th from 5th.

i offered him my W50 from the celica but some idiot he knows swears it wont fit

i tried to explain to him all R engines have the same bolt pattern

only real difference in the w50 would be where the shifter came through the floor. That's what I replaced my 4spd with in the 81 2wd and it had a shorter shift throw.

i'm not sure about the '81 -- i'd like to say the L43 was gone after '80 but i'm hazy on 2wd trannies. the G40 has a short straight stick, not bent like the L series

yea thats like the W50 in the celica about 10 inches and straight as a arrow
