Tranny Swap Options anyone?

Basically what this means is that you can toss the wimpy 4l30e and isuzu t-case and get a beefy 4 speed with better gearing and pretty much any t-case you want, including the Dana 300 or Atlas II. You'd lose the TOD but you would gain a ton of aftermarket, including 4:1 gears for the D300 or even 5:1 gears in the almost unbreakable Atlas. Not to mention the ability to select front and rear wheel drive separately. Oh and did I mention its all bolt on with no special machining required. You'd have to fab a custom crossmember most likely, and probably rig something for the shifter or install an aftermarket one, but realistically with the right tools and skills this entire swap could be done in a weekend. Sounds pretty freakin cool to me.

I'd be into it if it involved dropping in a manual. Am I the only one that dreams of driving a stick again? I think a VX would feel sooooooo cool if you could shift it yourself. Is this totally unrealistic?

That could be done too. There are plenty of manual S10s out there. The 60* blocks have a ton of options. You just gotta bust out the parts catalogs. a beefy stick shift should be just as easy.

You can use the trooper 5 speed manual out of a 98 and new and still retain TOD
