i eventually want to dump my auto tranny. i was raised on a 5 speed and miss it haha. i have read about a getrag 9 or 10 speed i think would be awsome to put in. i would like to hear your input and if anyone has any prices and the amount of time it takes to do i would really appreciate it. i will not be doing this any time soon im just trying to get some ideas thanks! the truck it will go in is in my sig it is 4x4.

 

getrag is a 5 speed, if you can find one thats in a truck being parted out that would be the best then it would be a bolt in swapt, drive lines ect.

 

ok i probably read it wrong somewhere but i have read about some guys with a 9 or 10 spd in their trucks. but how about holes in the cab for the shifter and a stock dash guage cluster?

 

gauges are the same, and you can cut the hole for the shifter,
hole should be there for the clutch master cylinder

 

Don't know on the 90s dodge but on the 85 crew cab I think we had to drill our own hole for the Clutch Master and holes to hold the resevore, as far as the hole in the floor went we measured the 92 floor pan from the seam back and from side to side, centered and drilled.

 

Here is a conversion, it looks real clean.
And it sounds awesome.

It would be fun for a while but I think it would get old real fast doing all of that shifting, you would find yourself starting out in 4th or 5th and skipping gears unless you really needed it.

There is also a video of him shifting the truck and I was going to post the link but some people cannot watch their mouth and had to ruin a good video.

I used to drive a Mack/ Holmes wrecker 903-Cummins Twin Turbo and it had a 10-Speed Roadranger I hardly ever used 1st during a recovery.

You could walk faster than the truck rolled in 1st.

ya your right it would get old fast and i dont have the use for it. thanks for all the help guys, im just trying to put some ideas together for stuff i'd like to do to my truck.
