Dodge Transmission Swap (Auto to Manual) PT 1

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i get my torque specs from old german specs...."GUDENTIGHT!" that trans swap has got to be the most valuable upgrade you can make to a dodge truck!

[@TheHermitHacker]

Im done with automatic in my 79 dodge van. Embarking on a manual swap. I think it will be worth the effort. Doing 4x4 as well.

[@Rylanhere]

@@TheHermitHacker have you done it? if so how'd it go?

[@jimkillen1065]

I got a rebuilt g56 in my 95 4x4 that had a automatic.. A learning experience and then there is the 4x4 shifter that use to bolt to the transmission and a large hole in the floor . Going to convert to a later generation to the floor shifter not attached to transmission. . I have now a one piece aluminum rear drive shaft, dual disc Val air clutch , bm short shifter, rebuilt tc

Working on the ground makes you a real man I feel your pain

[@sbrewer2055]

That adapter plate for the transmission crossmember do you have a part number ?

[@yo6669991]

The NV3500 is the same for Dodge and GM ????

[@jordanbrown1337]

Well done brother! I wish I had your skill lol, like Jason Aldean says I break everything I touch

[@iznbrgwhite421]

You are what I have been looking for. Omg! I've called so many shops who say it's "too much work" I thought the worked for money though...; How much different do you think it would be to do this in a 2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab SLT 4X4? Please HELP

[@j_moffitt]

No idea how Dakotas are setup but it’s just a matter of finding/building a crossmember and some drive shafts and also cutting a hole in the tunnel for your shifter; assuming you have whatever trans and t-case you’re swapping into it.

[@iznbrgwhite421]

@@j_moffitt that's just the little tid bits I needed. Called a few shops to see if they would do it and they literally said it's too much work .... And I might've done it if they said they would but if they did there isn't any guarantee they do it right for the prove they were asking

[@markburriesci3086]

Did you reuse the same crossmember that was on the truck originally for the nv4500? I was told I would need to get one for the manual swap but I can't figure if there really is a difference or not.

[@j_moffitt]

Same cross member, the difference is in the trans mounting isolator I think, honestly can’t remember but the cross member is the same auto/manual.

[@markburriesci3086]

@@j_moffitt Thank you! That helps! I was about to spend a 2-3 hundred on a crossmember I don't need.

[@wrenchlsx6856]

Hey man thank you for the videos been a big help in my swap! What did you do with your transgercase shift lever mine doesn't line up quite right

[@j_moffitt]

I don’t remember exactly, I used a different shift left I think from another t case

[@wrenchlsx6856]

@@j_moffitt -thanks for the response much appreciated!

[@InfiniteSith136]

Is an automatic transfer case compatible with a standard trans?

[@j_moffitt]

No but yes, they can be with changing the input shaft on the transfer case.

[@TheJonasbz]

I got a -77 Dodge W200 with 727 and i want to put a manuel 5 speed in it. My biggest problem is that the Jeep transfercase got the drivshaft to the front on the other side, how do i salve this problem? Does my transfercase fit the modern transmission?

[@krisdabaliguy6850]

I have a 92 B350 1 ton van. Is it possible to do the same conversion for the dodge van? Or does it only work for te 4x4 vehicles? If i cant currently, I’ll rebuild the wold vehicle on a Cummins 5.9 4x4 driveline that has a 5 speed

[@j_moffitt]

I’m not sure about a direct fit, might take a bit more time and modifications but anything is possible.

[@dakotamclees9823]

Hope someone can help, what transmission would I need to do this to a 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9 4x4?

[@dramatictoast2410]

What trans is the n these auto and manual

[@24va67]

Anyone that has done this, how do you wire your clutch safety switch. I want my truck to only start with clutch pushed in or in neutral, thank you

[@j_moffitt]

You’ll need the safety switch itself and also some wiring diagrams and a test light to find the wire going to the starter relay so that you can “break” the gap with your safety switch. Once you splice in the safety switch the circuit will only be complete when clutch pedal is pushed in and will allow your truck to start.

[@brianherron5400]

Nice, it's getting there 👍

[@MitchellLittle-k7j]

I need to do standard to auto swap

[@dixiemae5042]

Yes!! Want to do this to my ‘94

[@sniper66668ify]

Man do you have parts list for this ? Transmission transfer case you used ? I have a 96 with a auto I want to do a swap this spring/summer

[@j_moffitt]

Trans and transfer case you want plus pedal assembly and slave cylinder assembly

[@sniper66668ify]

@@j_moffitt was hopeful for what transmission you used and all. But thanks

[@j_moffitt]

Nv4500 and a dld tcase

[@Anthony-ir8dy]

Trans tunnel mods?

[@j_moffitt]

Just a little cut wheel action

[@jesuscervantes16]

Good video amigo that i want to do in 3500 dodge 1998 i broke 3 automatic transmission

[@jacobwagner2871]

Do you have to do anything with the p-pump ?

[@j_moffitt]

Doubtful, nothing that I know of anyway

[@jonchase7752]

I was looking into putting a manual trans on a 2016 ram 2500 tradesman with a 6.4 hemi, yall think it’s possible? Seems like it would be pretty easy since everything’s pretty similar to the Cummins with a manual

[@j_moffitt]

Anything is possible but I do not have the slightest idea of what it would require.

[@jonchase7752]

@@j_moffitt just needed somebody to say it was possible lol. Can’t be too much to change

what transmission you swapped in?

New vision

Nice upgrade 👍

[@henrygarrett6226]

Is this a gas or a Cummins truck??

[@j_moffitt]

Cummins

[@gregbrown4962]

I had a 94 with 5.9 and 5 speed. Are you swapping in a 5 or 6 speed?

[@j_moffitt]

5 speed

[@shanewright6958]

Great job and video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@p.g.8138]

I don't get this at all. I'd rather have a manual. How difficult are clutches on this truck?

[@coachkenpachi5178]

I want to do this to my 2004

[@thomasscott2432]

One part at a time

[@codysage2178]

It can’t not come out if it’s liquid

As I always say

I had a Dodge truck and I've got 2 Dodge.Dakota's and I switched him from Mayo.Because the automatics are there junk.Then worth a d*** that's the cheapest that Dodge intermate the 42R.E a forty seven r e is the worst transmission to dodge and remain the good trucks and diesel trucks are good but the automatic thing they were for shit
