Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) auto to 5spd swap

[DBogo]

how hard would this be i am looking for a 5spd truck and i found one with a bad auto in it so how hard would this whole thing be?

Swapping the transmission is easy. Making all the other connections is the hard part. The difficulty of the task depends on the year and make of the truck. If you can find a donor truck in a junk yard to rob all the components out of it would make your life easier because then you know that all the pieces already fit. I've seen a swap cost anywhere from $2500 to $4500. If you have all the pieces gathered it can be done in a weekend but there is always some problem. Good luck.

I might have a 5 speed available in the next few months if I get my 6 speed conversion done

Well tell me about the truck then, year, 4x4, 2x4, reg cab, what else is wrong, oh and what they want for it and where is it. I'm looking for something to turn into a veggie burner and to keep the miles off the 2001, I've already got 142,000 on it.
