You have some lofty goals! Yes you have a gear driven case. Can you take pics and post em here so we can see how much lift you have?

a word of advise ditch the tranny thats in your truck its junk ive killed 3 of them the L43 is the worst tranny to ever be put in a 4wd toy unless some one swaped in a later model L45 the easyest ways to tell is that the L43 will have a shifter on the side of the case and it will have a removable bellhousing and the L45 will have the shifter on the top and the bell housing will be cast into the rest of the tranny good luck and have fun on the build
ps sense its already in there you might as well milk what you can out of it but id definetly recommend an upgrade when it goes

80crawleryota · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 01, 2006, 07:23:30 PM »

thanks yotaboy79, is it pretty easy to set up just time consumming?

yotaboy79 · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 01, 2006, 07:50:47 PM »

yeah just takes time for the shims i would recomend trying the stock ones plus a thin one in the kit in the top and bottom and that should get you in the ball park

80crawleryota · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 01, 2006, 08:48:19 PM »

80crawleryota · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 05, 2006, 06:00:39 PM »

well i got the new carb on it today and fired it up it runs alot better than what it did. but at an idol it will rev up a little then it will rev down does anybody know what can cause that. thanks

yotaboy79 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 05, 2006, 08:08:37 PM »

check for vacume leaks or a vacum line ran to the wrong place that would be my first guess

80crawleryota · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 05, 2006, 08:41:48 PM »

i checked all the lines i got a vacume diagrahm and checked them off of that i haven't found a vacume leak yet but who knows i may need to put new intake gasket or something thanks

80crawleryota · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 08, 2006, 07:49:39 PM »

found the vacum leak and fixed it, it runs alot better now.

80crawleryota · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 18, 2006, 07:06:25 PM »

hey guys i found a 5 spd transmission and transfercase for 400 dollars how do you tell the difference between the l50 and l52 is it worth 400 thanks

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 18, 2006, 07:44:12 PM »

pull the input cover off so you can get the number off the input bearing number, look at Marlin's site under tranny rebuilds to find the numbers

80crawleryota · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 18, 2006, 08:32:24 PM »

thanks i will check it tomorrow hope its a l52 but the l50 will work its got to be better than the side shift 4spd i have in it. i will post pics of the trans and i am putting in some 83 celica gt bucket seats and i pulled off that big ugly front bumper today looks much better.

yotaboy79 · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 19, 2006, 11:51:27 AM »

Ramrod · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 19, 2006, 03:15:14 PM »

i wouldn't pay $400 for that tranny

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 19, 2006, 04:18:58 PM »

$400 is a little steep for a used L50/52

is that last number a ####0851N or 08S1N

80crawleryota · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 19, 2006, 06:25:53 PM »
