This is true because your current setup from what I've seen will work but 
was never a factory option because of how far the transfer case shifter is 
now from the dash. I assume it's almost in the middle of your seats? But 
because the W-56 tranny was originally factory setup basically like yours 
is now with the G-52, it will work too. But it will also move your T-case 
shifter closer to the dash. ( maybe only an inch or so?) An EFI T-case will 
bolt up to ANY 4 cyl transmission and will work fine because the shifter is 
on top of the case. A carb'd or turbo t-case will not bolt up to the W-56 
because then the shift forks ould hit the back of the tranny and there 
would be no place to bolt up the t-case shifter.

So G-52 = carb tranny = t-case with shift forks sticking out of the front 
AND 21 spline

And W-56 = EFI tranny = t-case with shift forks inside of the transfer case 
AND 21 spline

And R151F = turbo tranny = t-case with shift forks sticking out of the 
front AND 23 spline.
