6 speed manual swap

Bummer, well good luck on the swap anyway. Truck looks awesome!

 

Anthony if your gunna do manual swap just do t56 in that bitch. that would be a solid tranny

this would be the best route to take pricey but worth it in the end.


Ive been contemplating this swap myself but I don't have another car to drive and cant have my truck down for long time.

 

I know this is old but anything ever come of this?

 

I did the swap with my 4x4 conversion. I did all the labor myself with some help from a friend. You will need the drive shaft modified. The carrier bearing is in a different location.
The rear cross member will need to me modified or a custom one made. The trans mount is in a different location. If your changing to or from 4wd.

Just now noticed this is old thread lmao!

 

How bout electronics? I'm 4x4 and staying that way so imagine it might be easier?

 

@Oreo Cat yes that will help. for the engine i got a manual 4.0 ecu. the dealer installed and programmed my vin into it. they had to program the immobilizer control unit as well. still use my original key. now the transfer case, you will need a manual transmission transfer case. the input splines are different. auto is 26 splines and the manual is 23 splines. the count might be wrong but they "ARE" different. the electronics should all be the same on both transfer cases.
hold on a second. what gen is your truck? i see "stock 5 lug" are you a 4cyl?

 

Haha the 5 lug thing is a joke

Might have even seen it if youre in Bakersfield

 

I’ve driven a Tacoma with a T56 swap. It’s amazing.

 

too bad its only a 2wd option
