Lostsamurai picked one up early on... Don't think ir is on the website, but you may be able to call and ask for one...
I will look for a pic...

It's no big deal.  It's just that I have heard about this "piece" on several different forums, but have yet to see any pics of it.


It's like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...

 I've had one of those pieces from Brent. Pretty simple. It allows use of the tailhousing bushing and output seal from the Sami trans to be used in the back of the Trackick/Vitara maual or automatic. It's really cool too. He developed it for his Sami pickup that has a GV 2.5 V6.
 Cool score on the 1.3 Kick! Suzuki offered that exact model simply as a very cheap 4X4 to get people in the door, the dealers normally upsold to the 1.6 version. That is why not many exist. They were built all through the '89 model year.

Does this piece fit a 2wd or 4wd kick tranny? If it fits the 4wd, do you eliminate the kick tcase or can you run out of the kick case into the sammy case? You would have some serious gear options then.

Thanks for all the info, guys!

Hillbillydave,
I found this gearing site.
Works pretty cool when you plug-in any gear por tire changes.
