We only recommend direct fit parts. On today's cars, when you change one thing, several others are affected.

I understand but GM doesn't make the parts for the Transfer case they just sell the transfer case assembly I really need to know if a regular transmission will work.

I don't recommend it. That changes computers, vacuum harnesses, wiring harnesses... Will it work? Anything is possible, but you need to be prepared for headaches.
