Has anyone ever done a tranny swap manual from auto? I have a bad problem with the torque converter hunting and i did one fix with the alum foil on wire and worked great for about 6 months and it started again and its driving me insane so i was wondering if a swap is worth is or not.

 

Im sure that Danny Bonaduche could help [sm=yikesomg.gif]

 

I got the same ?

 

I've been pricing, it's about $7000 to put a six speed in $5000 for a five speed and a built auto for about $4000. Depends on how much you want to spend and how much work you want to do.

 

Thats why I'm just wondering if its cheaper to trade and buy a like a used 04 quad cab witha 6spd and save the money to mod it. And I'm the type of person who would rather own used than new just for the fact of like Powerjokes (Ford Learn to test stuff longer)

 

not sure what the newer trucks have, but its only $2g's to rebuild my auto 46RH the right way! you can order a rebuilt for $1800.....

 

If you trade it in, your gonna loose close to the same amount to the steeler so you might as well toss a trans in. That $4000 for the auto is with a t/c and t/c lockup comander along with a bigger cooler.

 

I'd rather have a 5spd or 6spd but thats just what I like

 

What's with the foil? Is there some secret I know nothing about? My tranny is starting to do some funny things also but even though it's a 99 I have a warenty but I need to hide the edge juice or it might void it.

 

where is the best place to buy a auto trans for my 2002 4x4 ext cab and having installed other auto trans could or should i install it my self??? should i get rebuilt or is new out sight price wise
