Automatic trannys are different. The tail shaft on a 2wd tranny is different than a 4wd because of the transfercase. If in fact the 2wd manual tranny does not fit a 4wd you can always change the tail shaft to make it work.


Will transmission out of a 1994 Chevy truck 4x4 fit in a 1995 Chevy truck 2wd both have 350 engines?

No it will not. The center shaft in the 4x4 transmissions are longer so the transfur case will fit on it. You can take the center shaft out of the 2-wheel trans and install it in the 4x4 trans. and it will work. But that requires taking both transmissions compleatly apart. Sorry but what you want to do will not work.

Your drive shaft is spinning but the wheel on your Chevy 4x4 wont turn when 4x4 is engaged?

If it has lock out hubs, Then you have a bad lock out on one side are the other. If it does not, Then the Actuator on the front housing is not ingaugeing. Need to check that with a test light. If it has power going to it , Then replace 4x4 Actuator. If no power then check 4x4 fuse in fuse box.


Can you use a 2wd tailshaft housing on a 4x4 350 transmission?

NO. NO. The reason you can't is because the center shaft in a 2-wheel drive transmission is shorter then a 4-whell drive transmission. The 4-wheel drive trans. has a transfur case that slides over the center shaft, so the shaft must be longer.
