My buddy's isuzu is definatley on it's last leg.
We are going to have to put a new tranny in all together, but thought about putting a Getrag in rather then the Isuzu.
Someone gave me a link once to someone's posts about swapping an isuzu to a getrag, but for some reason I cannot find it on search anywhere. The post I made I thought it was on, doesn't have it. So, if anyone could direct me to the post i'm looking for, or has any pertinant information on the swap, I'd greately appreciate it.

gonne need new clutch and flywheel , shifter and cables , and the frame mounts that are welded on will need to be cut off and replaced


thats all i can think of

iam plaing on doing the swap soon i was looking for some info a few months ago, iam still lookinf to confirm what i was told. Here what i have so far

(this is a note i wrote to remind myself what i need)

i need

tranny, getrag, used

axles, getrag, used

shifter, getrag, used

shift cables and all other parts of the assembly, getrag, used

bracket on the tranny that holds the shifter cables, from a 2.4 00-02 getrag
tranny, used

CLIPS THAT HOLD THE SHIFTER CABLES DOWN to the
bracket on the tranny, from getrag, used

flywheel from a 2.4 00-02 getrag tranny, used

flywheel bolts, from a 2.4 00-02 getrag tranny, used

pressure plate, getrag, used or new, (i will prob go new)

pressure plate bolts, from a 2.4 00-02 getrag tranny, used

clutch disk, for a getrag, used or new (i will prob go new)

throw out bearing, for a getrag, used or new (might come with my new clutch, so maybe go new)

clutch master cylinder and lines/hoses, getrag, used

Rear tranny mount bracket, getrag, GM, new

tranny mounts, getrag, prob used

*MAKE SURE THEY GIVE YOU ALL THE BOLTS FROM THE BELL HOUSING AND THE PRESSURE PLATE TO FLYWHEEL, AND GIVE YOU THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE SHIFTER CABLES DOWN, AND THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER TOGETHER WITH THE THROW OUT BEARING.
If you don't have these clips when you push the clutch pedal it WILL pop out of the bearing and you won't have pedal.




Speed sensors are different and you get a new one on the tranny, just tell them to leave the pig tails for the revers tail lights and VSS pig tail in there and just splice them in.


what do you mean by "SHAVING the braket a little to clear the Getrag,

Shaving I mean, just cutting a little off the edge.

If you take the driver wheel off and looking at the bracket, you need to
shave on the bottom right and the hole needs to go about 4 inches to the
left.

so a hole for the front has to be drilled 4 inchs left (to the front of the car) then the getrag mount bolts up to that right, and cut back a bit so the getrag will clear it

Yes when you DO drill a new hole the tranny mounts WILL just bolt right on,
but you still have to WELD a new REAR one.


Well see I am running Automatic center console which is cut on the side so I
can shift, but I am thinking the Gerag gears are a little wider.
