You know it Dave... This option has totally changed all my original plans for my Patrol; and even with the overseas shipping costs, and the cost to adjust the driveshaft length, it is still going to save me time and money on my project, because now I can leave the P engine in place, as well as the stock transfer case and stock axles.... which will keep my Patrol more "Nissan", and will also leave more of my original budget to do some of the other cool stuff rattling around in my brain.

Getting closer.. lots of room in there for other goodies! Rob you could sell that real estate

Well I am no longer the owner of a Marks 5 speed (until HP arrives )

The box left today for the USA.. Robert I hope it all goes well on your end. Its been a pleasure

PS.. ive added some extra goodies in the box for you!

Hey! Good stuff Tim...

I wish I had read this post BEFORE I sent you that email this morning, lol.

Thanks again for everything Tim - you have been a pleasure to deal with- I look forward to meeting up face to face someday. I can't wait to see what's in that ARB bag

Enjoy your weekend.

Wow! that was fast!

When you do start to install it let me know as I can give you a heads up on what do do. I installed my five speed in HP a few years ago but all fresh in my head.

Remember the Marks will push the drive back 135mm. You will need to get both your shafts modified. If Miller had sent you a stock rear MWB shaft this could have been used upfront. If you are also lifting your rig you should also not h your crossmember. If not and leaving the retaining rods up front you will be fine. Did Miller send you lengthened linkages ? you have new spigot and clutch so all good there.
