Hello,
I just bought an 84 extended cab w/22R and 5 speed for my wife, but it will most likely go to my son in a couple years. When he gets the truck it will get larger tires (it has 31s now) and a lift kit. The best I can tell, the 5 speed is a G52.
The tranny makes a lot of noise in 3rd, 4th and 5th. Sounds like bearings.
I plan on buying a Marlin rebuilt tranny and see that they upgrade the G52 to a G54.
My question is: Is there another BOLT IN tranny option that would be better/stronger than the G52/G54?
Thanks for your time
