Auto to manual swap
« on: Aug 18, 2004, 08:17:40 PM »
Well so far my 85 auto has the old pedals out, the new ones in, the clutch slave cyl in, the auto tranny/tcase is sitting beside the truck, and the manual is on the table with the new 4.7s in it ready to go in. Looks like Saturday is the day. :beer: :crossed:

Have no fear, putting a 5 speed in is pretty much a no brainer.  Just pull the old put in the new. (with a few minor mods :greengrin: )
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

Other than that one plug to do a jumper on, the other 3 plugs there can just stay where they are right--unplugged?
