Thread: 2wd to 4wd conversion, sourcing parts and buildup

    Re: 2wd to 4wd conversion, sourcing parts and buildup

    to be done... install case, freeze plug the first adapter where the old sensor went, then fix shifters and put in the crossmember.

    updated pics, i went down to get an 87 5spd 4runner for a loaner (im not a good manual driver) figuring it out though, and whats up with first gear in the 1rst gens? its like you have to go around some freakin J/L or something, stalled out at two redlights on prospect due to starting out in 3rd gear.

    new sensor location

    You must've had a funky transmission.

    Aside from having no syncro left on my first gear, it is pretty normal for a truck. You should see the shift patterns on old GM work trucks...

    well i think i just need to put it in neutral first then swing it over into 1rst, as im getting decent, i have yet to stall out just in first, but stalling out in 3rd is a given, hell i even started in third highly reved, didnt like it but it didnt stall.

    The clutch probably didn't care for it too much either.....

    stalled it out again in 3rd, i found the 1rst sticky area, it sticks trying to go into 1rst, but its relatively easy to get off from first even on a hill

    Oh man, Blake, this is funny. I'm sorry, but this is like my 15 year old self all over again :P

    The "sticks" going into first is worn syncromesh. Mine is the same way.

    This will make you appreciate your auto while wheeling.
