2wd getrag VS 4wd getrag
 

well i just bought a complete running 91 for 1000 bucks with a flatbed and a BRAND NEW getrag 5 speed in it. its a 2wd though. can i make it 4wd by changing the output shaft on it like some trannys, or is it stuck as a 2wd?

i kinda think you can

do you know if the tailshaft on the 2wd comes off and you can swap out output shafts?

I dont think the tail shaft comes off of those

Yeah it can be done.

what all does it involve do you know by chance?

tail shaft and housing I believe. Never done it but I know people have.

You can swap the internals into a 4wd housing. but im pretty sure just the tail section does not come off, so all you would keep would be your bellhousing and internals from your 2wd tranny

the tail definitely comes off, i know cause i rebuilt mine. i also think the mainshaft is different as that is the one that is also the output shaft. the change would involve almost completely disassembling the trany but i dont see y it couldnt be done

oh ya thats way too much work. forget about that idea lol
