What exactly does one have to do to swap a 46re tranny with a 5-speed? Like, does one have to do anything special to swap in a clutch pedal? The shifter? Is it as simple as knocking out a spot-welded plate in the middle of the tranny section of the floor pan?
Mainly, what the hell model of 5-speed do our trucks even use? I'm guessing one of those NV-series trannies but what bolts up to our engines? Would an old-school A-833 4-speed bolt up?
If my rebuilt auto ever blows up again, a manual swap is something that I'd be interested in doing but I don't know a whole lot about doing such a thing. Perhaps there's a good write-up somewhere of doing such a swap?
