sure.
is in the book

see those bolts on that 4wd 3speed 3L30 box flange. those bolts come off easy.
and only the 1 spline inside hold it there. slides off.. unless unlucky like me, the hacker was there before me, but be 1million to 1 odds you not get that..
assuring prop shafts off and sticks shifts up top,.

sorry there are no shortage of books ( read the 1st post on this forum, the welcome page cover this topic, books)
vast reak suzuki books exist. free, and in pdf.

here is my crude book, step 25 covers this. no?

Thank you for the reply.
You mention: "is in the book"; which book are you referring too?
Is there a picture of the bolts you have mentioned somewhere on your repair website?
Thanks a million!

if you read the top post on this form, its there, fully linked, and updated
as you know books and websites go bye-bye or moved.
thus the page.
the welcome page,.
see it?

the 1996 book covers it in part, on ackfaq
the rhino pages, have the real books, real suzuki, all cover it totally.' GM books are weak here.

if you just look at the box, its just a bolt on

your 3speed is a 1970s TH180 box. old as the hills
suzuki then takes that box and adds a 4wd adapter, to it, it just bolts on, and is now a 3L30 box, only fits this car.
this adaptor just bolts on to the transfer case. (splines inside, do not stop you)

I pretend, im pulling the box.
the console pulled and all levers removed.



i then drop the rear prop shaft. (gox drained first, is a must, xfr box. GL3 drained out)
then drop the cross member, the trans tilts down, put wood behind the distributor as the book states

then unbolt the transfer case, on the most rear front flange of case.
on my web site, type pull in the search box
land here

then click. pull 5sp. (they area all same mostly, cept, if exhaust blocks parts and side braces on some)


tell me does step 23 her cover this,
http://www.fixkick.com/tranny/clutch/new...howto.html

i do not know if your 3L30 has that #1 hidden bolt, but you can look for it. I would. if i had a slush pump box.

steps 1 to 25 do it.

keep in mind.
my page was typed then 2nd day after doing it , while still fresh in my mind. (almost 10 years ago)

the only issues are.
1: muffler pipe, stock or non stock in the way. obvious to anyone looking.
2: side braces, some main boxes have them others dont but they go to main box never the transfer case,, just one look and you see all that.
vent pipes
wires.
shift link
i think the hidden bolt is only on the 5 speed, top center.

all cars have a SM
service manual
there is never a reason to guess.
one can buy them get them for free.
or search
most PDF now are found via google today are all in infected sites. the top 1000 are. for sure, (i have powerful tools $$$ to avoid them)
so best is to ask for help on books.
that is why the welcome screen exists so you dont get infected.
