Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys, couple of questions for use, what i have is a nissan patrol mk shorty on petrol and i just bought an mk shorty diesel for parts, what i need to know is what work will i have to do or tricks to doing this change over from a petrol 4 speed to a diesel 5 speed, do i have to change over the bell housing or any oother little problems or trouble that i could have. any help would be great due to this is my first real 4 wheel drive cheers guys SL8...

Think 1 is a course spline and the other is a fine spline shaft

swap the input shaft on the box and i think bellhousing too.

Sounds scary but after having onr apart not bad at all.

Does the 4speed have a seperate Transfer? may make life intresting?

the 4 speed is in my original with the motor connected and is my driving car and the 5 speed i just bought and is all drivable so yer cheers guys for ur comments ill see wat happens and is it worth doing this or should i just leave it cheers slate

1/
swap over input shafts

2/
use the petrol bellhousing / clutch plate and pressure plate & flywheel

3/
swap top coverplates over ( the bit that the gearshift comes in )..... this will need a small mod to fit ( IE: grind off a small alloy moulded bump )

if you dont swap over the top covers then be prepared to cut and re-shape the gearbox tunnel so the shifter will fit....... this = hours of work


have a nice w/end
