5 speed question...
The guy told me it's a 5-speed with no low gear... He wants 450 for it (didn't ask if the t-case goes with it) is it worth getting for my stickshift conversion?

Re: 5 speed question...
I know that, I'd either have to go with an older 208 or preferrably my 205 if it'll bolt up, even if adapters are needed. I still haven't gone and looked at the truck yet, as I'm still in the middle of other things.

Re: 5 speed question...
If it's a non-granny 5 speed chances are it's a nv3500 from a 88-up truck.

Re: 5 speed question...
I was on the lookout for a 4500, but you think a 3500 is worth it?

Re: 5 speed question...
Actually I have an SM465/NP205 with the crossmember, Blazer shafts, pedal assembly and if I need it floor tunnel. Just need to get a clutch and flywheel assy. for a 6.2 diesel. I personally would rather have more than just three main driving gears, considering it IS a 6.2.

Re: 5 speed question...
It has 3:08's in it now. I found a set of 3:42's in the junkyard last Saturday, and since I couldn't today, next Saturday I may go snatch them up. The thing is lugging at 80mph now, and I have a BAD habit of going 80. Manual downshifting does help though.
I think both the trans and t-case were rebuilt, but I have no idea of the history. I DO know that the 350 that was bolted to it in the 1980 Blazer was a crate [Jasper ugh] engine.

Re: 5 speed question...
yeah they labor hard with 308s under 90 ish. my buddy has a 86 1/2 ton 4x4 4 speed with 10 bolts 308 ratio that he has converted into a wrecker with a normal box.and he gets roughly 18 mpg. my dads has 308s with an overdrive. only time he ever uses it is on the highway around 110.

Re: 5 speed question...
On long highway trips I get 32mpg without a doubt, with A/C and hills trying to drag me down. my average is about 27 all around, running standard tires and that welded rear axle
![]() My issue is the transfer case has too many problems.. I can;t even begin to explain, and the trans leaks like... EVERYWHERE, and I HATE automatics as it is. If I found a trans I liked, yes I'd sell the Muncie, and as long as I can unbolt JUST the 205 from it to bolt to the new trans, basically yes it would have the adapter housing/shaft thing between. Right now it's sitting on my desk... my other other desk... ![]() ![]()
