Default 4wd 4l80e in a 2wd

Will it work? What's required to make it work? Is it worth it or should I keep looking? If not and someone can make use of it let me know. The guy is asking $150 OBO. Thanks for any advice.

If you have an output shaft and tail housing, and i do believe the 2wd you have to knock the plug out of the back of the trans.... And the 2wd has an oss on the side of the case the 4wd would have a plug for the hole in the place of the oss!! $150 whats wrong with it??

Where can I get the output shaft and tail housing? What plug? What's a oss? Sorry for the newb questions but I'm not very knowledgeable with transmissions. If I was to pick it up I'll get the Jake's stage 5 rebuild keep so I won't have issues down the road. The guy said that the front seal went out on it. He said it was still operating properly when he pulled it after he wrecked the truck.

If you're willing to tear the trans apart then do it. I modded a 2wd 80e to 4wd, read my thread if you have the time.

One thing missed is the cup plug with tail oil hole, it needs to be plugged.

$150 is amazing and leaves room for a full rebuild IMO. Older, 93 or so need custom shift linkage bracket.

Oops! 4wd to 2wd! Plug needs hole. I have the 2wd output shaft and such if you want to make a deal.

I attached a link to the rebuild kit that I plan to get. It comes with intermediate and input shafts but I don't see any mention of a output shaft. If the kit is upgrading those shouldn't the output be upgraded as well or is a oem piece sufficient? What will I need in addition to the kit in order for it to be converted to a 2wd unit? Just the sensors and tail housing? I apologize for all of the newb questions, I just want to be clear on my parts list so I can drop everything off to my trans guy and he'll have everything he needs to build me a bulletproof trans.

Rebuild Kits ? Jake?s Performance
