Auto to manual conversion

[DennisH]

does anyone know of a reputable shop that has done this conversion? I have a 93 D350, and I love my truck but I really want a manual trans. It's also my daily driver, so I really don't want to do the swap in my garage and have it down for too long. I will probably have to sell it and buy a stick truck, but would rather keep this one.



thanks



Dennis

Probly after the big labor charges and price of conversion, you could just buy a stick truck and keep your auto truck and have two nice 1st gens. Bill

conversion

I have thought about that and a nv5600 is the way I would go. For several reasons, I know where to buy new transmissions and no core is required. Get the south bend kit, along with the slave cylinder. Go to Dodge or the salvage yard to get the peddles, bolts to the flywheel . You can get a steering column or just use the one you have. Shorting the drive shaft, I don't know how to help you on the speedometer. good luck Jim
