I found the problem, it was the Neutral safety switch. Thanks for all your help and your patience!! It was greatly appreciated:c:

Now i just gotta remember its not a automatic no more!! but other then that im tickled :jump:

is it worth it to do the 5 speed swap? i been thinking about it but cutting holes and installing a new pedal assembly doesnt excite me much :nope:

to me it was absolutely worth it. no more slippin at all, gettin all the power to the ground. towing is 1000x better

Ol yea!! It feels like a whole new different truck!! Cuttin out the floor which wasnt too bad because i had a donor truck to kinda get a figure on the measurements. The biggest problem i had was trien to get the trans. in the clutches and the pilot bearing, just because i was doin it on the floor and i had a 4ton jump to work with:argh: And for the pedal assembly, it was a peice of cake! Had mine out and the new brake and clutch pedal in within 2hours or alittle longer then for the slave cylinder. just gotta take out the rubber peice out and slide it right in and lock it in place.

But if anyone wants to convert or even thinking about doin it. Totally do it!! Yea, its kinda gonna be alot of money but in the end its worth it. If you look at it this way. Automatic= gotta change the fluid every 25,000 miles then gotta buy a filter, adjust the bands, then if you wanna upgrade to bigger. You can spend 4,000 easy. Manuel= fluid change every 25,000 (i think) and buy a decend clutch. Treat it right, it'll last you forever. Then buy a donor truck and your in business.:rocking:

there is 2 wires on the hyd clutch assy on inside of firewall where the cyl slips in at the wires are on that piece one goes gnd the other goes to ign hot source if you dont want
the clutch switch to work it will turn over anytime you hit the key, i did mine that way cuz i hate having to hold the pedal down to start it

One last question? what gear do ya'll usually start in? because 1st gear seems low and 2nd gear seems high

When i override the safety switch on the clutch i take it off the clutch pedal assembly and shove a 10mm bolt in it and tap the crap out of it so it stays depressed all the time
