So I got a 86 blazer now. The transmission is shot and i need a new one thought id check to see if any one had one. I don't care if its a manual or auto i just need one for cheap.

LOL You're prepared to swap one for the other? It's just like an F-Body until you get to 1994. Easy, but not cheap.

lol its an 86 so score lol its a good truck besides its the 2.8 and the transmission is crap

i only paid 650 for the truck so if i can get a 700r4 for now ill deal till i get a 350 build for it.

Get the Jagsthatrun S-10V8 book if you're going that route. It will save you.

Of course I fail to see it going that far based on your do factor of cars Laughing

I had a 2.8L and 4.3L 4x4 jimmys of that era. I used a Camaro 2.8L engine in and put the 2.8L carbed stuff from the jimmy back on top. The 2.8L with a 5speed out MPG, Out Drove, Out ran the 4.3L with a Built 700r4. I ended up trading the 4.3 guy in even after I put vortec heads/intake on it... because it was still so damn gutless.

not funny

If I can find a t5 for it i would be a very happy camper. Than I'd build the 2.8. its a remanded so thats a plus the only problem is the transmission oh an no speedometer.

Just get another JY 700 for a few bucks and throw it in. Drive it, blow it up, rinse and repeat. Bearings in the 2.8 are gonna go sometime anyhow. No sense throwing good money into it. *two cents*

BTW, the 60* bell five speed set up for the t-case is kind of a rare unit. Most 4x4's got the auto or the 90* motor.

donald has a T-5 for sale, i think he wants 100 for it

idk I'v priced the 700 they are like 400$. But, I found a t5 for 250 I'm crossing my fingers that it is good. The 2.8 will be gone before the bearings go i hope. Thanks for your 2 cents Aaron ill take any two cents on this subject i like the truck its a good truck.

Donald's T5 is from a V6. You will need to find some business like this to mate it to the t-case...

If your blazer is 4x4 to make a non 4x4 v6t5 work you'll need to find a 4x4 main shaft and top plate shaft. Completely disassemble the trans to install it.

$400 for a bolt and go or:
$40atf

OR

$250 for a used 4x4 t5
$25 pedals
$100 clutch
$100 hydraulics
$15 crossmember
$25 used flywheel
$25 surface flywheel
$10 pilot bushing
$8 brake fluid
$75 bellhousing/clutch fork
Days of work
IIRC the 4x4t5 is a different length than the 4x4 700r4. That means driveline mods if that's the case.
Hope the trans works.

How is going standard cheaper/easier?

Why do I see alot of trans work in my future reading this..... Rolling Eyes

I'm going with Aaron's idea on this one and I'm trying to get dippy to understand how much work it is to swap auto to manual....
