Im thinking about taking the 5th gear and using the splines part to weld to a coupler and adapt the Tcase that way. Then cut the tailshaft housing down and weld a flange to it for the Tcase. With the extra length of the diesel bell housing that should put me about even with where I am now

It is doable I dont have an R151F around to look at but I can see where you are going and it would work I think.

I still have to ask, are you SURE you really wanna use that g54 behind the diesel?

Been following your rig a while willy, beautiful work. Whoever said all artists are wusses never saw this thread.

After spending 14 hrs working for the "MAN" today, I got home and found me Aussie parts are here.

This is what I got for $1500.00

One shiny new bell housing.
Clutch fork, throw out bearing and slave cylinder.
Timming belt and idler pully.
Pressure plate.

The rest of the parts are on order from Japan and will be here soon.

Notice the size difference between the diesel and gas R151 bell housing.

I also got my R151F 86-87 turbo trans to cut up yesterday.

how does losing 5th allow you to shorten the trans?

I was thinking the same thing and I'm sure we will find out.

By removing 5th gear I can use the 5th gear spline for the coupler and cut the shaft off short. It will be shorter than the L52 shaft I have now.

I only need to make a custom tailshaft housing and get the shifter to fit in the cramped space left.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #2327 on:** Jun 24, 2007, 04:25:32 AM »

I am going to try to pull the engine out today. Wish me luck, I'm still on call and may have to go to work.

With 2 months till we leave for MCR6 we decided to put the house project on hold, and get some headway on the Mammoth rather then leave that till the last minute.
So Mark got all the wood working equipment moved out of the garage and into the living room, and got the new engine moved into the garage...

Oh, but first, in his rush to get things going, after he had just backed my Pathfinder up to make room in the driveway, he started backing up the mammoth thinking 'I think something is back there' a tad too late...

ah well, dents give trucks (and SUV's) character...

Anyhoo.... LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

That is the nice thing about those, easy access. Everything just comes right off the frontend.

So... ya think this alternater belt is still good? We thought Gates belts lasted forever

(this also runs the water pump and power steering

)

Well Mark WAS home working on the mammoth, we finally had some lunch and the phone rang again $I\'m Down$ He was hoping to get the engine out.
