Read this article about swapping out&installing a T5 tranny in a classic truck.interesting article.might look into it if i could find a "cheap enuff"trans to use.Or elese I will search for a 3/4 spd that will work.Wanna drive my truck&not be worried.if that means shifting on the floor;so be it.Tranny isnt "dead"yet;but trying to be prepared.
