auto/manual swap

[macsdaddy]

I have tried all kinds of keword searches with no luck, has anyone documented the process in swapping an auto trans to a manual trans?  I am considering it for my challenger.  Thanks for any help

Sleepy challenger is doing that to his car right now. He has taken pictures and going to post fairly soon. He will also have so extra parts forsale soon.

I am glad to see that the three of you were able to get the swap done on schedule.  How long after I left did the postal carrier show up?

It was great to see you two again and meet Wade even if it was only for an hour.   

Here are a couple photos I took along the way.

oh, and the postal carrier never showed up, some how the part was on its way back to the shipper... hmmm. but i got the new pad next dayed from brewers and got it in panama city. we had to rig some stuff just so i could get home and i am still working bugs out of my system. i need to get a 70 style shifter, but that is going to have to wait.

ok, first some pictures

make sure that the car is well supported

then remove the torque converter bolts

[sleepychallenger]

then continue taking out the automatic trans by disconnecting the linkages and transmission fluid lines

[sleepychallenger]

once you have the lines and linkage out, pull the transmission mount out and gently slide the transmission out and down

[sleepychallenger]

once the flywheel is out check for fitment of the pilot bushing and install it if it fits

[sleepychallenger]

install the flywheel and torque to specs, install and allign the clutch and pressure plate
