90 trans into a 92 question Options

[jvb6806]

first things first...


secondly...

i am picking up a 90 trans and transfercase to put in my DSM this weekend. my concern is the difference in the shifter assemblies. i know that the shifter is different in the 90's as well as the linkage, the mounting bracket, and the assembly on the trans.

my question is if i use the 92 linkage cable bracket (the one that is mounted on the trans) will that allow me to have all of my gears? or do i have to pull the shifter assembly out of the 90 trans and put in the assembly from my 92?

from what i understand if i put the trans in AS IS i will not be able to reach 1-2 or 5-R (i can't remember which one it is)

any input would be appreciated.

thanks.

i was reading about the shifter feel on tuners. i guess the pivot point of the shifter is different between the 90 and 91+ as well as the bolt on shifter portion of the trans.

on the 91+ the pivot below the fulcrum on the shifter is longer and the movement of the gear selector on the trans is also longer. on the 90's both are shorter. they feel the same in the correct configuration but if you put the 90 trans into a 91+ you have a bigger movement on the shifter and a shorter movement on the gear selector so the throw into a gear become shorter.

thanks for the help wort.

i was also under the impression that the 3-4 gears are geared slightly different in the 90 vs the 91+. did you noticed a difference after you put in the 90 trans?

i am just glad that i will have a trans in my car as well as a trans in the garage that i can start buying parts for to build.
