VT_Maverick's 5 Speed Swap

[WormGod]

Ya, now if someone would just do it for me. My garage isn't large enough to turn wrenches well in and none of my trusted shops wants to tackle it. Most citing it isn't high on their "want to to list" or "it's going to take to much of their time due to R&D". I respect both excuses.

Over all it hasn't been that difficult. Some parts are time consuming like mating the cases together. I figure I will have spent around 40 +- hours doing the swap. A possible compromise would be to just have a shop pull out the auto and install the manual. From there it is fairly straight forward. Shouldn't be any R&D required once I finish the documentation. No fabrication or welding needed, I did have to drill 1 hole in a dust cover but that is it. I was concerned the Trooper shifter would be too tall but as it turns out fits perfect.

I will document the wiring needed to finish off the build here soon. Been under the weather the past couple days.
