automatic to 4-speed swap?
Hi, I have an 87 dodge ram 150 fullsize that currently has a 318 with a 904 auto trans. I currently picked up a truck a833 trans I am rebuilding and want to put in. I have never done this swap but I got the pedal asssembly and all that kind of stuff. What I am wondering is can I just use the flywheel thats currently on the truck and take off the torque converter and bolt on clutch and pressure plate? If not what size flywheel do I need? Is a 10" ok, or do I need a 12"?
Thanks

No. You can't use the automatic flywheel with a manual trans. You can use a 10" or 12", your choice. Buy the flywheel, clutch disk, pressure plate, and throw out bearing together so they all match the a833 trans when used in a 318.
