You don't have to cut any holes for the shifters. TC shifter bolts to a boss (which you have to drill - 3/8 PTO, I think) on the Side of the NV5600 case. Fits right in. Call Don at Blumenthal if you want info and a kit - mounting plate adapter, lengthened TC shifter rod, longer harness for backup light, etc. If you're going to a 1 3/8-13" clutch and later model flywheel you need a starter spacer and longer bolts. See the first link below for Cummins P/Ns on the spacer and bolts. If you do a search you'll find a ton of info here in the forums. Try "6spd swap" or something like that.

i do need to cut new holes cause mine was an auto so I dont have a shifter hole and being a 96 I have the transmission mount 4x4 shifter and am changing it to the 98 up style shifter the mounts to the floor through a smaller hole along the edge of the tunnel

Well now. Didn't read your sig too close now, did I? Guess you do need to cut some holes. Sorry I missed that.
