5-Speed Swap Info

[BigMeatVX]

Yes the hummer H3 5 speed will work..(belhousing change). as will the factory H3 low 4.3:1 transfer case that is in the H3!!!!!.....Ive done much exstensive research on this and will be doing this exact swap soon...

the TOD computer is SEPERATE from the computer that runs the auto tranny!!!!! And it ONLY operates the TOD.

Also the H3 transfercase is built just like the VXs and is in fact also of "TOD" design meaning elrectromagnetic clutches that engage 4x4....

Lastly, You CAN mate up a ar-5 out of a 1999 trooper to a stock VXs transfer case. AND keep TOD..they bolt right up!

another possibility is the 6-speed out of the FJ cruiser (belhousing change to ar-5) mated to the H3 transfer case!

This has been spoken on before a while back....

Go for it.....

Not meaning to thread jack but what are the options of just ditching the tod case then? I like the auto trans i just want the tod gone to make my sas easier to work out? Would i just need a xcase out of a rodeo or would the H3 case bolt up? I'm confused here. I just don't want too much custom fab on this part since the eventual sas has plenty. If the tod computer is seperate from the tranny that'd lead me to believe it can just be replaced with another case and i can keep the auto trans. It'd make it a little cheaper to do as well.
