I need lots of info. I have an 01 auto 2500 4x4. I believe i completly lost the tranny today pulling a cattle trailer. I have lots of fluid coming out of the dust cover on the bellhousing and shifts from 2nd straight into overdrive. I was wondering were i can get any if not all the info on a swap for a 6 speed manual trans. I was wondering maybe how much it might cost, if anyone makes a kit, if i will have to cut anything(besides hole in floor), what about the computer controls?

Need lots of help here guys?
thanks

 

It can be switched to a 6 speed but at about the same price as a built auto. If you can find a doner truck it makes things alot easyer.

ok so what needs to be done to do the swap

 

You would need a pcm. possibly an ecm or a reprogram. a flywheel clutch trans depending on if it is 4wd or 2wd the propper adapters and correct length driveshafts

 

i was told that the ecm and pcm wouldnt need to be changed. a guy on here said he did the swap to a 24 valve and his worked fine without either changed. only thing was the cruise didnt work....but i have never used my cruise anyways so that wont bother me...

 

they might work but they are different programs between man and auto

 

NV5600's are hard to come by because they aren't manufactured any more, so when you find a "NEW" unit its still just a rebuilt transmission.

I'll be selling an NV5600 here soon when I get my new transmission installed.
