switch from auto trans to getrag
 

i just inhereted a free 90 dodge w250 with a 5 speed in it and my truck is an auto. how hard is this conversion to do if i have a complete truck? and will i hit problems with the truck being a chevy or can i just use my chevy clutch pedal and throw the rod into the dodge master cylinder. or should i use the chevy master and slave or how should i make it work? anyone done this? is it worth the work? thanks

VERY HARD!!! I'll be buy to pic up teh parts truck tomorrow... :D

IF you have a donor truck I think teh hardest part will be cutting the hole in teh floor and making a cross member.

haha i think i might just have to pass on that one:tttt: the guy gave me a 90 cummins w250, a 89 f350 4x4 7.3 diesel and a 87 ford 6.9 with an ats turbo all for free. best part is all 3 of them run and drive!

you got any advise what would be easier to use the dodge pedals and master and slave cylinders or just use the ones that came with the chevy (it was a manual before).

and what all parts will i need to swap. do i need to change out flex plates and all of that kind of stuff too?

anyone?

my dad did a conversion 86 chevy to cummins with a get rag he used the chevy cluch master cylinder but used the dodge slave pedals leave stock u wont have to fabricate anything as for the whole mount the tranny up but dont put the crossmsber up leave on a jack so mu can take a measurment with teh tranny up and cut the whole. ur gunna need to use the dodge crossmember just once u cut teh whole mount the crossmember and either mark wholes and torch through the frame or weld it up good luck
