    You can swap in a BG GTX transmission with some mods, and you will need custom axles, and the BG 4wd shifter and cables. It will be MUCH stronger than the stock trans. I actually have one for sale on ebay now. I have axles shifter, cables and Intermediate shaft if you are interested in them as well, it would be everything you would need to have the custom axles and the correct shifter for the swap.

      Weeeeeell, it's stronger... I dunno about it being *much* stronger, but it'll last longer than a BG trans if you're nice to it. What I like about them is how much easier it is to get the car to rotate 'round tight corners with that viscous centerdiff. If you are gonna go through the effort of changing out the trans, you might as well do the BPT swap while you're at it and get some more power for your trouble.
      I hear that there are those who've put things like Evo or Alltrac trannies in there but that's a whole different level of makework.

          I am selling this one if you were interested. I also have axles, shifter, and brand new cables for a little extra.
