I was originally planning on using my original transmission. For one, I figured it would be a W56 (yeah, should have looked at my door tag), and when I got the half-cut I found that it had an electrical T-case. I don't particularly mind shifting a little lever every so often, so I didn't see much benefit to using the newer (and lower mileage) transmission from the half-cut.
I scrapped that plan as soon as I tried to bolt the bellhousing onto the transmission. It turns out that the bolts don't line up. (yeah, I'm observant).
Not that I'm complaining, in the end I got to ditch the G58 in favor of an R150f.
The pics here are the two bellhousings side by side (the clean one is the diesel bellhousing), the front of the gas tranny (again notice the oil--it has been scrubbed down a bit at this point too), and the rear of the R150f T-case. I was hoping to find a way to avoid that electric 4WD.
