Use a VG30DETT transmission with and RB25 bell housing. The guts are the same. In a pinch, the 240 gearset works. It is not strong enough to hold up to the RB's torque for long, but it fits in the RB20 case.

But if you don't have a transmission at all, you still need a bell housing, and a transmission, and might as well just find an RB 25 transmission.

I'm pretty sure you can use the bell housing from the transmission with the transfer case. but that is an AWD transmission and they can't just separate the transfer case. I still thin your bet option is the RB25 transmission.
