There was an article on doing that by Scott Danglish (spelling?) last
year in TDR.

TDR? I don't do any towing, i just want speed. My truck is already faster
than most cars, but the tranny is going. Is the factory 5 speed good for
acceleration, or should I go for an aftermarket?
thanks

suggest you get one. Its worth every penny.

A friend & I put a 4 speed manual from a Camaro in a '79 Caprice sedan
when we were in high school. we did it in a saturday afternoon.
In a pickup truck, the procedure is NOT a big deal, I have done the
procedure auto to manual and the other way around, rwd & fwd vehicles,
and didn't run into any serious problems.
Just be sure to get EVERYTHING transmission-related from the donor
vehicle.
Did you think about the fact that he may have a paid-for vehicle (as I
do), and have no desire to go into debt? Or maybe he can't afford it.

Got news for you Bucko, cars and trucks have changed since then. And it hasn't
necessarily all been for the better.
It is cheaper to buy a different truck with a manual than try to "convert" one
and keep it smog legal.

I don't doubt your answer, just curious. I really would like to change to
manual when this auto tranny quits.

You removed a automatic tranny, installed a manual tranny, clutch, bell
housing, shift linkage, speedo cable, altered the drive shaft, and installed
clutch pedal & linkage, (into a car that never came with a manual tranny) in
a afternoon???
All I can say is you rock man!! You are more mechanic than I will ever be!
(Either that or you are full of BS!)
If the original poster had giving more info I may have giving a different
response. If the vehicle has a computer controlled engine, and wishes to
keep it that way, I believe my statement holds. If the car is a non-computer
controlled vehicle it still may cost more than the car is worth, and is
still a difficult job to do unless you hack it together or have a cheap or
free donor vehicle for all the miscellaneous parts.
Most I have seen that as this question have no clue what it takes, and are
unable or unwilling to do the swap when it comes down to it. Also this
question has been petty well beat to death, it comes up at about once a
month!
Greg
Roy
longer to get the drive shaft to the machine shop and back than it would to
r&r the swap. Heck you have two people and the parts........done deal in a
afternoon.

Hello there Greg goo,
I made the original post in regards to changing an auto tranny to manual when
it finally gives way. My question was how hard and how much. So far, NOBODY
has said how much it would cost as if to even be feasable. That's all I
wanted to know. I was curious.
My truck is a 99 Ram 2500 QC, 5.9 cummins Auto, 4.10, long box. Need any more
info? Ask...

If the post really bothers you, why post a response? I'm really interested in
finding out the answer... Still!
If I was a gear head and knew the answer, why would I post a question in which
I knew the answer? I'm not bored, just curious.

Another words, you want someone to forecast what it "may cost" 10 years down
the road to convert transmissions.
You have to be really ignorant to ask a question like that or can you predict
the fututure????

Well Redneck, first I want to say you can't read, or understand what your
reading. Being stuck on that nice big farm is fucking with your head. Instead
of "seeing" things, your FUCKING reading things that aren't there.
I simply stated that I would like to know how much it would cost to change from
auto tranny to manual. YOU all of a sudden became the forecaster. Take that
fuckin toothpick outa your mouth and stick it in your ear and I bet you hit
NOTHING!
I'm just tired of your stupid ass replies and you directed one to me so fuck
you.
That's all for today, so go mow your weeds Redneck, I know it can't be grass.
So, can anybody answer the question yet?

sure someone already makes or will be willing to make (For a price -
transmission parts are always pricey) a manual shift setup. While you're at
it get someone to "tune up" the transmission for heavy duty use. Slap an
overbuilt torque converter in it with a heavy duty lockup and it'll be
stronger and easier to use than *any* manual for a fraction of the
"conversion to manual" cost.
Just a suggestion, worth what you paid for it...

WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GIVES WAY were your words.
I am not sure what else you would call your "question" other than IGNORANT AND
STUPID, it is beginning to look like the same "standards" can be applied to you
personally.
You pissed off because I didn't "predict" or "forecast" when your transmission
is going to "FINALLY GIVE WAY" so I can "forecast" or "predict" what it will
cost???
Seems like your "brain" isn't capbable of "comprehending" that the tranmission
may NOT "give way" for 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 YEARS.
The truth DOES hurt, doesn't it, idiot.
Roy
with your calculations, the 94 has over 160K on the transmission, guess you
should take into consideration that it is a 12V as opposed to the 24V. While
your doing your Carnac act, care to take a guess at Sat Busch winner? New
track, concrete as well.

Replace when the auto goes away....maintain it and treat it properly and it
may run the life of the truck.
Is it feasible?
That just goes back to how much money you have! Some people have so much
money that feasible is not in their vocabulary!
I am not that familiar with the computer on your truck. Does it control the
tranny? I believe it does. Say the tranny lasts 150,000 miles, and the truck
is ten years old, are you going to stick $2000+ into a tranny swap for a
$10,000 truck?
It is more complicated than most realize. If you are able to do the swap
yourself, maybe. If you have to pay someone else, trade the truck!
As far as the real cost, well, nobody knows for sure, depends on what tranny
you pick. I have seen people rip a tranny out of a twenty year old truck and
stick it into a fairly new truck, chop a hole in the floor and patch it with
what ever is laying around, some old body metal, plywood, what ever.
Carpeting? Who needs it! Tear out the computer and stick in a old carb and
distributor out of the same twenty year old truck. Just buy more mechanics
wire. Others swap out to a new Allison with all the proper accessories to
make it run right. Which one are you? The initial cost goes up accordingly!
;-)
No mater what the out come I still stick with my first post that recommended
to trade! If you have the $$$$$ to buy a Dodge diesel, why didn't you buy
the truck spec'd out the why you want? It will most likely be less cost to
trade than to try to install all the parts needed to change to a manual
tranny.

If you really just want to know, since prices I'm sure vary greatly thru-out
this country, why don't you check out a couple of local mechanics. Try a
trans shop. Try a local garage. See it they will do it for you. Are you to
fuckin lazy to get off your ass to check it out?? Or do you like to sit in
front of a keyboard and just bitch?

I would sink 2K in the truck at this point, still would have no truck payment.
So, yes, I would do it even at this point.
>It is more complicated than most realize. If you are able to do the swap

That's why I asked you guys this question. It really sounds like it's hard.
For 2K I would do it, over 3K, no way.

I did buy an automatic because I was tired of shifting! I'm happy with my auto
tranny because I don't have to shift. Took off so much stress during my day,
it's well worth it. The only time I wish I had a manual is when it snows, or
when I pull the RV. Welp, between the two I only need it 10 times a year.
So, as you see, I was curious. That's all. Didn't know I was about to cause
all this shit! I figured I ask, someone reply and I would be done. But not in
this NG! That's what happens when there are more assholes than people with
knowledge. LoL
If this offends somebody, that somebody is the asshole. The folks with
knowledge, keep on replying with good advice.
Thanks always,

I always hear people in here worship manual transmissions. By the time my auto
gives way it will be so old that I wouldn't mind swithing over from auto to
manual. I was just curious about YEARS down the road. My Ram is a 99 so it

Redneck,
I did forget to reply to one of your forecasted returns. You remind me of the
time when you were fighting beekeep. You claimed he was back peddler and not
knowing what he was talking about. Now when I think of you, "mopar 440", I
think of beekeep.
Not anything against you at all beekeep. Mopar 440 just twists and turns your
posts around so he can argue and be a smartass. He knows he's the phuck.
Your not funny mopar 440, your a forecaster. You start trouble and then try to
bow out.
I would be very ignorant if I had asked when will my tranny go out. In my
book, no question is a stupid question. If somebody doesn't know the answer
feel good that you helped them out. You are below this, 4 sure.
Prove your stupidity REDNECK! Do you know how to cut and paste?
LoL,

Realisticly, this could be 10-15 years down the road. Are you planning to
use new parts? Will these new parts(clutch pedal, clutch support, misc
pieces) still be available new or will they have to be scavanged off of a
doner veh. Are you going to pay to have it done or do it yourself? It is
impossible to even ballpark this..probabley thousands.

No jerkoff...I can go right now and get a list of prices for you, and all

Take it to the dealer.

I dunno, I've got a '99 1500 and the manual is pretty well hosed (stuck in
1st gear, lever is actually jammed in the corner where 2nd should be... yay
for the NV3500) behind the rather screwed 318. My truck is just
mechanically retarded though - has been since I got it (I got the worst of
the bunch I think)
If you're willing to shift - properly, all the time, keep the truck you have
until you suspect its time to get rid of it, and trade it in for a MT truck
if you so desire.
An automatic transmission will last very nicely if its not abused and
maintained properly and they're really not that expensive to overhaul.
Like a friend of mine said as he was swapping his freshly rebuilt AOD back
in his tweaked '88 Mustang after causing his "racing ready" tremec MT to
explode (case busted and all). "My automatic took 50k miles of abuse and
needed a cheap overhaul - this manual took about 5 bad shifts and exploded."
He came to the grim conclusion that the MT might have shaved a few tenths
off, but it was not worth the extra hassle of losing a full second with a
crappy launch.

You have an auto for the same reason as me! Ten years ago I did not mind
shifting, now I will not own anything with out auto, air, and cruise! Stick
with the auto, it is really the easy way around the question. Switching
includes a multiple of parts swapping to do a proper job and the cost can be
through the roof unless you get a donor truck. I picked the $2000 price out
of my ass, if you scrounge for parts you may be able to do it for less. If
you pay someone and but new parts you may double the price of your truck!
If you are looking for assholes this group has them, ;-) just learn to laugh
at/with them and you will get along fine! I normally don't post much here,
mostly lurk, but throw in my 2 cents from time to time!
Now if you want to see everyone get excited just say "Dodge trucks are crap,
Chevy's rule!), Then duck!

missed one. Dinny, FU2, Lloyd (wherever he came from), and for a return

Looks like the old Gong Show waiting room. Be gentle with them. Although one

Actually Tom,
I was not looking for this much detail. I sincerely appreciate it tho! I was
merely spitting out a thought which turned into a cluster fuck because of
assholes! But now that you have specifically covered everything, it's ALL
OVER! Tom Lawrence, take a bow! Thanks.
I really do appreciate the detail because now I kinda know whats involved.
It's very involved. Thanks again. (I'm saving your reply)

By the looks of it, HVAC, you must be Redneck's bitch. You ever do anything on
your own? You know, a follower instead of a leader?
Ahhhhhhhh. I'm so smart. Figured it out on my own. You "guys" are BUTT

Guess what? You too, can be an Author... Shit breath for dummies...
You 2 are pea's in a pod.
