Engine Swap

That'll be sick if you get that Tcase set-up. And I wouldn't bother with the 4L30E behind the TDI Atilla, why go through the work of swapping that motor in and leave the 4L30 behind it? Also the 4L60E controller wouldn't work with the 4L30E, they are completely different.

According to wikipedia GM discontinued our VX's trans for a more reliable and better builted 5L40-E that features a 5 speed gearbox that is used in most BMW's 5 and 3 series sedans and SUV's

Not sure if this new trans is suitable for our VX but worth looking into it

I the problem I see with the hummer tc is the shifter controls. any idea would hate to shell out another 300.00 just for switches.

Not sure exactly what I will need to get for that tc to work.
tc module, tc electric motor, and shifter control switch. Am I missing something?
what would be a better option?

You could run a Dana 300 with an adapter off the back, it's a small tcase and get a remote shifter for it. If you get the modules and switches for the tcase it shouldn't be too hard to wire up. I don't have a diagram for it but the Astro van guys do it with S10 cases alot when they want 4wd instead of awd. As for the 5L30E, you'd need to have the computer completely reprogrammed and probably some harness modifications to make it work, and since no one really modifies our computers (JET doesn't count, they just make air/fuel adjustments, I don't think they can rewrite the whole ecu) I don't think it'd work.

I already have the 4l65e tranny. I am waiting to hear from my mechanic. i have h3 tc case on hold, but the all the access. are going to add up quick.
