Re: I need a little schooling on manual transmissions

Some things come to mind here. First the motor numbers seem to be a WAG based on previous posts. Second the truck is drivable now so maybe a gear/axle swap might be the best initial step for a sixteen year old. If he does want a manual, what parts does he have left? Was the truck originally a manual or automatic truck? Does it still have the bell housing crossmember or clutch z-bar and linkage? Maybe a MY6 or MM7 four speed O/D would be a good choice that someone has laying around.
