ive got a 1992 s10 blazer 4x4 4.3l with the 7004r trans. i tried putting a shift kit in it but it didnt come out well and now i must make the decision to either
1) completely rebuild the trans back to stock
2) buy a new trans
3)replace the trans

i recently have fallen in love with stick shifts and hate not having control of my blazer. ive looked around and cant seem to find any info on a manual 1992 s10 4x4 4.3 blazer or truck, does it exist? if so then this would be an ideal donor. if not is it realistic to put a standard in or should i just rebuild get it back to stock and get a different car thats a standard. ive built the truck from stock and love it, but lately whenever i drive it i get angry as i loose almost all torque after 45mph and 2300rpm so any idea opinions or a general response will be of help

 

Hello

Sorry about your 700R4, did you use one of those piece of crap shift kits from B&M if so you will have nothing but problems.
I have a 1997 s-10 blazer rebuilt engine and trans went to this site and used one of his Heavy Duty package works great I have full manual control or full automatic control.

It was a transgo kit. Directions were terrible and most of it was guesswork =\

You have both full manual and full auto? How does that work?

 

I have a stick shift in mine (from factory). Works well.

 

What year did it switch to second gen? Would one from the '94 bolt up nice And work With the electronics?

 

if you do a manual swap you will need a donor vehicle...you will need the tranny as well as electronics to transfer over.

 

Switched to 2nd gen in '95

 

So basically just keep an eye out for a first Gen with. Standard and it should work good with mine?

 

I don't see why not

 

alright well i would rather spend the money on the switch over than an automatic so ill start looking around for the donor. i can get everything from the donor but should probably get a new clutch pressure plate and throwout bearing correct?
