Yes, 700R4.Nice!!!!
It really helps my case in making me get one.
Just trying to determine if I can source all the parts or just buy one from DirtyzBoyz
You got the 700R4 right 90Jimmy?
I drove it to work today and average speed is 55-60 for about 20 miles. It was miserable. Haha
FollowingI have read almost all the post in this thread. I would like to piece together my own 4 speed transmission conversion kit 700r4 with 32 spline output shaft. I'm still a little confused about the adaptors between the 700r4 transmission(4 bolt) and the 218 transfer case(6bolt) if # of bolts is correct. I have a 1987 M998 with a 6.5 NA, TH400, and NP 218. If you have your 700r4 built with a 32 spline output shaft what adaptors if any will you need to connect the 218 t-case. If your 700r4 has 27 spline output shaft what adaptors will you need? I think that it would be easiest to have 32 spline output on 700r4. Finally, If you have to use an adaptor, did you have to modify propeller (drive) shafts? Is it best to need an adaptor so you don't need to modify propeller shafts? Just trying to figure out the easiest way. The adaptors I commonly see mentioned are:
Advanced Adaptor 50-6901
Advanced Adaptor 51-3202
HMMWV M998 Part# 5578404
Thanks!
I have looked into this option. He's a nice guy and seems to know his stuff, but......this is not a direct install "kit" the $3500 ish price includes all the parts needed to build the transmission. You still have to provide a case and someone to assemble it. The shifter modification is an additional cost and doesn't include shipping. this was a few months back but iirc to get everything from them it would be in the $4000 range and i still had to buy a case and have it built....to much work for me for the $$$$$I have read a post previously that a "guy" there has done some shifter conversions and may be a good source for trannies in the M998.. If i can find the previous post i will forward it to you. They even mentioned his name.. sorry i cant think of it off the top of my head.. If its same outfit, ive heard good things
Interesting. His listing made me think a "prepared" transmission arrived as part of the purchase price. For that amount of $$$ I'll work with a local company then. I have saved his listing still, since he says he can convert 3spd shifters readily. I wish he'd make a hundred...I have looked into this option.

[/QUOTEAny comments on this from anyone or did you figure out parts numbers for the 700r4 to 218 conundrum ??
