If you don't mind me asking, how much did that set you back? I want to do the same thing with a 2000 Mazda BW1354 elect T-Case. I am in the process of changing over a 2002 Mazda from 2wd to 4x4.

the manual t-case and all the stuff to it is seting me back 150 for the parts and 90 for the shiping. the rest is just the time to put it in and cut a hole in the floor of my truck so i can put the handel throw

If you haven't found out if you have the right stuff, the the link below has a lot of good information..
I have been getting prices from $350 to $400 for the BW1354m out of a
02 to 04 and there was no mention of a shifter.

that proboble meens that there only sending you the t-case and not the extras that you need to use the manual but id ask them. i cant see some one just selling the t-case. but as fare as the price goes its probuble becus my t-case is comeing out of a 1990 ford ranger and your tryin to get a "newer" one. if you let me know what truck you have ill be abel to find out what t-cases will "work" for your truck

I have a BW1354 elect. shift t-case out of a 2000 mazda B3000 extended cab, with 4 speed automatic trans. If you need any other numbers I will have to get them.

The picture of the manual t-case on the link I attached has the tulip/cupped recieving end. That is what I need. I wasn't sure if the earlier modeles used
that type.

thanks
