Finally, after months of beleiving what I've read here and on other Isuzu sites, about the "integral" trannys, and TOD,
I'm about to prove them all wrong....
There is a tranny that will bolt to the TOD transfer case, after all!!!
(with very minor mods)
It is the AR-5 based 5-speed in the 98+ Troopers!

It is a MARRIED stlyle NON-INTEGERAL!!!!
and after carefully measuring both bolt patterns on the back of the trannys (manual & auto) , I have come to the conclusion that this is a NICE fit!
One stud must be removed and possible clearancing of the TOD shifter a bit may be required....6 of the 8 bolt holes line right up!!!! and the splines are the same!!!!even the alighnment pins are in the same places exactly!!!!
I have already put a deposite down on a the tranny and the other parts I will need....like a computer out of a 3.5 manual tranny troper, and clutch pedal assem. flywheel and clutch kit...
I will keep you all infomed on the progress;Dr;
