4kq Transmission

[TM]

My non-lister friend with the '85 4kq has pretty much completed the
transmission/center diff R&R, what a PITA.

Something came up that had us puzzled- was there a change in the spec
of the axle flanges? For whatever reason, the axle flanges on the
original
transmission were smaller than the ones on the replacement transmission.

Both were GGG trans code, both produced in '84.

What gives?

Pulling the flanges, we found that the splines and everything else were
identical internally, just the flanges were a different size. So we
pulled
the flanges from the old trans, put them on the new trans and it's good
to
go.
