Re: 4 speed in place of 5 speed, 87 2wd ?

yes the tail shaft is different, the hole for the sensor/speedo gear is lower on a mechanical, on a VSS it is in line with the outputshaft.
if i were you i would put the t4 on ebay or something, they are worth a bit and it will give you some $$$. i put my t5 on ebay and got $250 out of it.
if you wanted you could take the speedo cluster out of a mechanicle speedo and swap it in, it will run a bit differnt but enough to sell it and get some $$$. around here a good running solid s10 goes for about $1000, plus being gas prices are high, people might by it for that. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

t-4 with integral bellhousing, i found out they are common and weakest ones they made, they also did make t-4 with non integral bellhousing, i did not know that
junkyards sell the integral t-4 for cheap, i looked it all up, theres about 5 or 6 possibilities for t-4 and t-5 trannies in a givne year for s-10 2wd's
ots crazy
the integral t-4 turns out to be the most common and lightest duty out there, lately i been looking at s-10s locally aroun dhere and most all of them i run into have the integral t-4 in them, very extremely common
this 92 s-10 i was working on with the non integral t-5 is a problem, junkyards dont have this tranny and they want upwards of 6 or 800 dollars for one, if they even had one,
its insane
so the truck is doomed, thats more than the truck is worth
bottom line t-04 is useless and junk, even though was perfectly good, so i took it to shredder too
i never knew of all the differences between integral and non integral and t-4's and t-5's they are even different from one mnodel to another, its crazy
also i have never sene a VSS tranny before 92
92 is the earliest i have yet to come across
i know in caprices and camaros and trucks and firebirds and such 92 was the very earliest VSS was used
s-10's i am unsure, but i doubt any VSS in them before 91 either
my brothers 92 700r4 s-10 4.3L vin code Z has VSs and this 92 i am working on with 2.8 TBI and the t-5 is VSS but i have yet to come across a 91 earlier with VSS
ive learned alot about this lately plenty enough ot know that the 92 i was working on is doomed because a good t-5 for it with VSs is next to impossible to find, and even if were found its price would be too high to warrant getting it
so truck will be taken to shredder most likely, and its too bad cuz it runs absultelyt perfectly smooth and quiet, like a brand new truck,
oh well,,
thanks
