Can anyone speak to this adapter? I have been told Pathfinder and Quigley used the stock 2WD transmissions and used adapters to mount the t-cases. Instead of swapping to 4WD transmissions.
My parts Quadravan has a C6, and it has a long cast adapter in place of the the long tail housing. But I want to use the E4OD transmission as already in my van.
Here is a picture of the adapter behind the E4OD. The transmission has what I believe is the rear housing adapter from a 4WD E4OD, then it looks like this simple adapter is used to take up the extra length of the main shaft. This seems like a very simple way to go and I don't know why this isn't more common. Generally people will either swap to a 4WD trans, or completely disassemble the trans to change to the shorter shaft. This makes no sense to me in light of what looks like a very simple swap using an adapter like this.
Thoughts? Anyone have one to sell, or know who sells them? Otherwise it looks easy enough to make. Or, what am I missing here?
