Yes you can change the tailhousing and output shaft but the trans has to be totaly disassembled to do so.

"Extension" means "transmission housing extension", i.e., the back end that bolts on to the main section. The output ("tail") shaft is inside it. Most '80-96 Ford truck transmissions can be converted from 2 to 4WD or back by changing these 2 parts, but as ecarter50 said, it often requires extensive disassembly.

Does the same hold true for a t-18? Can you just change the adaptor?
