T5 trans and 207 transfer case from a S10 blazer. it did stand up to my surprise. Even the clutch which was smaller.
Had the largest clutch which believe it or not was from the 1.9L Isuzu. Think it was 9 11/16". The V6 were smaller. Price was right at the time. 2 transmissions and atransfer case for $200.00.  Had to modify release/throught out bearing support. The Eagle bell housing needed 2 other holes drilled and tapped for different bolt pattern of trans. Again ironicly there were boses on the bell housing exactly where the new holes needed to be.
The 207 is a part time dual range transfer case. Unfortunely with only power to the rear axles on dry pavement under hard take offs I broke 3 axles.
 The other flukey part of all this with the SX4 was I was able to use the rear drive shaft for the front. Great because it's some what bigger than the original front drive shaft. The fit was perfect.  Just pure luck.
