A video I threw together documenting the manual transmission R/R on my 1996 sidekick sport.
Transmission is a reman unit from Trail Tough
Clutch is an Exedy performance clutch from Low Range off road.

Hi Matt, i've got a '94 Suzuki Vitara fatboy …but when I try to engage 4 wheel drive it keeps jumping out back into 2 wheel drive…should i replace the transfer box ? thx
can you put a 2.3 tranny on a 2.0 engin
good mantap…
sewerzuk Apologies in advance for the amount of questions, I was hopping you could give me a hand. I'm also modifying my sidekick sport to be more off road worthy, I got a 2,5" body lift kit, a 2,5" suspension lift at the front and a 3" suspension lift at the back along with the 265/75 R16 m/t tires to be installed but I don't know if I'll need some spacers for the tires (I got one for the bar) or if I'll need to hammer the wheel wells, do you happen to know?
Also:
Do you have a rear locker?
Where did you get the red control arms?
And the last question, don't you get the center console too heat up by the air that passes by the muffler?
Thank you in advance!

I'm thinking of getting a 95 Sidekick 5spd 4wd w/ 280,000 miles on it. What do you think a reasonable price would be for it and what things should I look out for in particular? Thanks.
Question…new subscriber here from all the way from Suriname. I own a sidekick 2wd 1994 wat do i need for a 4wd conversion??any existing videos out there??
I'm really digging your sidekick! I have have sidekick sport as well, unfortunately with the auto trans, currently sourcing out a manual 🙁 I'm just curious what lift kick you're running? it looks like a calmini, but I swear they only made it for the non sports? also, what is up with your transfercase levers? and regarding your j23 swap, how is it for sourcing out quality parts? the j18 is a pain especially in Canada!
have you ever assamble or fix 4×4 auto free wheel hub? FOR Vitara? i have one 1.6 3doors 97 mecanic transmition , automatic hub. thanks FOR The reply, i would love a vídeo of hubs <3 thanks!!
With all the work done to that suzuki it seem like a great overland vehicle.
? iwant to use wrc racing shocks what do you think? thankshi mat i want to know if i can use like you in the front with coilovers front and back, without the springs
Your hair grew back awfully fast between firing it up after the job and the test drive….
Looks like you hear what I have , those folks out in Medford have come through for me a couple times now .. I live in Independence oregon , And love the fast no hassle service ! Thumbs up ..
Здравствуйте. Возможно сделать субтитры на русском?
Someday I'd really like to have a large shop with a lift, too! Your son is at a terrific age…learning from Dad how to wheel the right way (including recovery gear) and doing stuff together! You've made that Zuk a really sweet ride. I'm a Jeep guy myself (always have been) but I love having a wheeler that still has decent street manners to just drive around town if I want. It makes it allot more versatile (IMHO) and still very capable offroad. Nice video.
why top gear hate this car?
Thanks for taking the time to post this video. I rebuilt my trans earlier this year. The input shaft was in bad shape. I had to replace the input shaft, along with the all the bearings and seals.
Any room for a teardown of the old transmission? Or does the rebuilder want the core back unmolested?Curious to see where all the metal came from.
Loved the video although the time lapse made it look easier than I'm sure it was. Next big job, let's see your son in there helping with the wrenching!

I see you added to the transfer case. Did you change it's fluid as well?It would have been a good time… At least for those of us without a lift.
