hello, i have a 98 S10 and s currently the 4L60E set-up. i really want a 5 speed for gear control on the highway and ease around town, and just for fun. a new truck is not really in the budget ofn time or money, but i would like to do a 5 speed conversion on mine. it is the 2.2L and wondering what parts, what it would take, and what trans? wire harnesses? ect. i am a very good mechanic and could doit easily...with a little info and guidance. thanks. has anyone done this before? thanks guys

I can help but give me a month to get through some other things first. my life should settle down by then.
I can get the wiring diagrams and decipher the differences between the two along with any suggestions.
parts and bolt-on wise shouldn't be a problem.

I think if you buy a pre 98 5 spd tranny, so will have to do alot of extra work, try and buy a 98+ 5 spd (they changed everything from 98+)
