i have been thing about doing this swap.. i have a sbrc hemi 4x4 auto i have seen 07's with a manual but v6 only...what is needed for this swap? whats the trans of choice that will bolt up to my hemi? will a trans from a v6 handle the power? i figure i will have to swap computers and all that just looking for some info or for some one who has done the swap already

thanks
connor.

 

Manual tranny's rule. I wish they offered them in the 1500 5.7L trucks. And yes, the only thing that usually kills a manual gear box is shock load (will break off teeth on the gears) So street driving should be fine i would think with extra V8 power goin through it.

 

you can get 6speed 2500s, i would just look for one of those and it should bolt up

 

^^^ what he said lol

 

thanks guys!

 

G56 6spd for 2006 and up, some 05's have it too. Reverse is all the way left and down. Tranny is dang near bullit proff. And bolts right up to the Hemi

 

also u might have to change D shafts...just a thought, i dunno if the man is different length or not..bot no big deal should only be like 60 a shaft, if you use ur shafts and they lengthen or shorten them..

 

Does anyone know if the bellhousing bolt pattern is the same on a 4.7? I would like to swap out my small 6 speed for the larger one.

 

So the G56 eh? i did a search on carpart.com and found a few 6 speeds dont remember reading if they were the G56 or not... yea im thinking i will have to swap out shafts as well no big deal... few more questions... these tranny's out of a 2500 they would be geared for towing and hauling right? would i have to re-gear them or anything? because i do tow not huge weight tho and i dont want it to be a dog off the line or anything like i mean if i go to the local drag strip for some fun i don't wana be running slower

 

You can just start in second gear, first gear is a bear on the G56. How much money do you plan on putting into this project?? a G56 alone fetches a few thousand last i checked..
