My c6 4x4 trans just died today......lots of smoke an no moving......been sittin a while and well i drove it. It was full of flud but started to slip and got hot. Any way can i pu my transfer case on to a c6 2wd trans. I have a good one of those. The trucks a 77. Any advice in any newer od trans i could swap with no computers. I am short on money and im sure im lookin at a bunch to rebuild

Is the transmission cooler hooked up? haha. About the od tranny's they all have different bellhousings. They may look the same but the bolt holes are way different. Ask me how I know? Well it was a $250 dollar learning curve!

Yeah its hooked up it was acitng up and not shifting properly. I shifted it manually and i think it stuck in between gears. It slowly stopped moving and started blowing fluid from the dip stick tube i think. So im guessing its dead. Any sugestions in a easy fix?
Otherwise do you know if i can bolt my transfer case to the 2wd trans i have thats good or am i stuck with a rebuild

Well putting on a T-Case won't do any good because you have a 2wd tranny and you would have to do a divorced set-up. I believe you are stuck with a rebuild.

To put a married transfer case on a 2WD C-6, you will need to swap tailshafts and housings. To do this you need to tear down both trannies.

transmission teardown on the c6 isn't bad, its about an hour to teardown and get back together after you get it out.
