83 2wd Hilux 5 speed conversion

Recommended Posts

G'day all,

I have an 83 Hilux RN41.

These utes came out with an 18R but at some stage someone has dropped a 3Y into mine.

It also has a 3 speed auto which looks like it has been converted to floor shift from column shift.

I have a 5 speed manual box from a later model 3Y powered Hilux on order.

I have read online that the 5 speed is a longer box and that the gearbox crossmember will need to be moved.

With the 3Y in it I'm not sure what mods have already been done.

Once I get the engine and gearbox out how do I tell what mods will be necessary?

I'm expecting the new gearbox to arrive in about a month and would like to have any mods finished by then so I can drop it in.

Also I'll need measurements to take to the fabricator so I dont need to transport the engine and gearbox to them as well.

Any help would be appreciated.
