Bradshaw106 just did his last month. Maybe pm him and see if he replies. He is not on much.

rbrettctd and Tippin Spotted Cow also have done auto to 5spd conversions. At least I built a Getrag tranny for TSC a year ago...... Rbrett gained several MPG by ditching his auto- to the tune of 3-5, IIRC.

Oldcool90 did the swap into his 3.08 727 truck. I'm sure he'd never look back or regret it. IMO it's the best upgrade, and the only one for that matter, for the nonlock-up auto. Matt might jump in and tell the HP gain from auto to stick. IIRC it was good for 60hp to the ground on the dyno, auto to getrag.
