Pardon my noob-ness to Isuzu's... I've exhausted my online searching abilities for the day as well...

Everything I've read mentions the 3.5 for the AW4 bellhousing.

I've located a 2004 Rodeo with a 3.2 locally that's willing to sale just the bellhousing... Same trans and bellhousing?

is he trying to sale it or sell it?

Sail. It's coming across the pond.






I had 'for sale' typed and then edited...




Douche.

I am very sure the AW autos are in some V6 Isuzus just under a different name, using a GM 60* bolt pattern yes, but Aisin Warner trans none the less. There is a write up about a guy bolt a 3800SC onto his AW trans you have probably seen. I'm guess either a Northstar swap or a SC 3800 swap in a new car?

More info
"I'm saying that the 2004 Rodeo *does* use the AW 30-80 family tranny, and that it is a better tranny IMO. They *did* use them in the past in the 2.6 automatic Trooper in the '88 - '91 time frame. That was the A340H. They went to the 4L30-E in the 90's and around 2002 or 2003 started switching back to the A340 family of trans again. For 2004, *all* 3.2/3.5 automatic Rodeo and Axiom's I've seen (about 15 total at different dealers) are the AW tranny."

there is a difference between the 60* gm engines and the *60 isuzu engines which the 3.2/3.5 is.

Yes, different engines same bolt pattern. Google it up there is several guys that have swapped in Buick 3800's and Aurora V8's. I've found lotsa info on this.

Im going by what JLEMOND says right here.

and the 3.2L and 3.5L are the same engine, use the same computer, the 3.5L just puts out a little bit more power.

And over on planetisuzoo.com JLEMOND is a retired isuzu master tech that pretty much knows all when it comes to these trucks.

Here is what I found about swaps: http://myweb.cableone.net/bcanderson/trooper/AuroraSwap.html

I had read that somewhere as well. I just didn't know if they decided to use a different trans on the 3.2 with less power.

Even if it's got a 60 degree on the motor side I need it to have the Jeep aw4 pattern on the trans side.


I'll check out all the links. Just got back to this. Thanks.

Ive read that the jeep aw4, ax5, toyota r150f and r151 will bolt up to the 3.2 and 3.5. Atleast the bell housing will.

For 2004, *all* 3.2/3.5 automatic Rodeo and Axiom's I've seen (about 15 total at different dealers) are the AW tranny.

That's sounding better.



Didn't I chat with you about a tap shifter for the my KOH car a couple years ago?


I'll be getting your aw4 full manual shifter if I can get this thing bolted up behind my 2.5 TJ. Racing A Class in ECORS (www.ecors.com) with it. I've pushed the ax5 too far.

Yeah, thought I recognized your sig. Keep searching you'll find what you need. I tried to get a trans. from a Rodeo but the guys hosed me on it. Been wanting to do a swap using the Isuzu bell housing.

Will,

Have you asked Joe Darlington about it? How he talks about his Isuzus I'd be surprised if he didn't know your answer.

For 98+ motors, yes, the 3.5L is basically a stroked 3.2L. However, the 92-97 Isuzu 3.2L is a different motor entirely. Just a point of clarification.
