Auto to 5sp swap

Postby Rangerbro » Wed Sep 22, 2010 6:14 am

I am looking at putting the manuel trany that I have in my truck.

What all needs to change? I know I have to put a hole in the floor and all that, but is there some other stuff like axle and trany support bar that has to be changed?

Thanks

you need the tranny cross member and the front half of the driveshaft. You also need the jumper that is near the center of the cab under the rug or carpet to eliminate the neutral safety switch, along with the petals from the old trck - all 3. The tranny hump near the gas pedal will need to need to be massaged towards the tranny so your foot fits between the brake and the tranny hump. The auto tranny hump is mush wider than the manual one.
