Default SAS Transmission Question

I'm trying to figure out my options for my SAS I'm about to start. I have a 2003 Ford Ranger 3.0 4x2
So I don't want to have to find a 4wd tranny, so is there anyway I can still use mine? Maybe convert it to a 4wd tranny? I heard someone tell me I could if I took it apart and put a new output shaft in it? Is that true?

Default Re: SAS Transmission Question

Tailshaft can be swapped to a 4wd model, but its cheaper and easier to just get a 4wd tranny.
