Hey guys, I was thinking about getting a Pontiac Fiero for college instead of driving this gas hog, but financial issues occurred and the money I had for the Fiero went straight to tuition fees. Now one of the biggest things that had me going for that Fiero was its 5 Speed transmission and as I looked outside at my truck..I realized that automatic trannys suck! Is it worth changing the transmission? Be it I do it myself or get somebody else to do it, I don't care. I just want everybody's opinion.

 

NV3500 will eat up less power.
Not a terrible swap especially if you have a donor truck.

 

So basically, I just need to acquire some cheap donor Dodge huh? Does it have to be a specific year?

 

Not that I know of. Your PCM is going to flip a b1tch when it doesn't detect the transmission though.

98 to 01 would be best. And it would have everything you needed. Doesn't even need to run.

 

I know it sounds lame....but the only thing that's making me hesitant....is the loss of my cupholders):

 

It wouldn't be too bad since you have a 2wd. You might be better off to just get a reman transmission and the rest at the junkyard.

 

Does anybody have an exact parts list? I would much rather grab all of the parts than get a donor truck due to space.

 

Pedal assy
Slave cylder
Tranny
Clutch
Flywheel
Possible driveshaft
Possible crossmember
Boot for the shifter
and lot's of little parts IE nuts and bolts/clips/wiring.....
