Subject:Swap ring/pinion in diesel trans?
From:john Runberg

How hard is it to change the ring and pinion in a diesel trans to something
similar to the gas tranny? I just found a decent trans to replace my leaker,
however its a diesel trans. Since I don't want to drive at 4500+ in fourth,
the alternative is to swap the r/p or keep looking.

Can I do this myself? Would a local tranny place be able to do it? What's
the cost to have them do it? If it won't work, anyone need a diesel tranny
(sans bellhousing)? Thoughts and opinions?
