SM4655 Output Shaft - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

boondocker · 03-18-2002, 10:11 PM

I bought a SM465/2WD tranny and thinking of putting it on my 4x4 rig. However, I was told that I can't use it unless I change the output shaft to 4WD.

Are the 2WD and 4WD versions the same? If not, how much work and money are we looking at? Guesstimate is good enough.

2WD and 4WD trannys have different output shafts. You would have to change this to get it to work in a 4WD application. Advanced adapters, I think, sells adapters to convert the tranny for different xfer case uses.
As said before, its cheaper to get a 4WD tranny!

depends on what your puttin it on, if its a dana 20 then u can get the 1" adapter from novak for like $490, and it doesn't matter if it's 2wd or 4wd, but they make several different adapters for all applications, and usually have a 2wd and 4wd version, and the price is usually the same, now if u are goin to use a 205,203,208 or something, then a 4wd would be better
