tranny change
by T.winegar » Fri Jul 25, 2008 6:53 pm
i want a 5speed in my truck, instead of the 727 auto it has. i hate an automatic for any kind of work, especially pulling a trailer. what options are there for the switch, and where should i look to get a full tranny?
89 727-stageIvcomp 4in intake-amsoil air filter, 4in exhaust, dennyT, 366 spring. pump turned up to make me smile! low stall converter, rebuilt tranny at 120,000miles

the 6bt has a host of flywheel covers available, dodge, ford, chevy, sae #2 and sae #3, there is a huge selection of trannies, 4x4 bolt up options are slim, but older dodges and ih pickups used divorced new process transfer cases. I would go with 6 speed from medium freightliner or ford, get the whole shooten match, flywheel, flywheel cover, clutch, tranny and starter. I've seen 6bt in a kenworth straight truck.
93 w250 6 speed 4" exhaust, caution, work truck, she's no beauty. building 1 ton dually 4x4, dana 80, 48rh, 205 Scratch the one ton, bought frt. dually 4x4 98 12 valve with the tiny rear doors. rides so much better than the 93.
