Hello all,

I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy 4dr 4x4 4.3L. I just inherited the truck and I am not a huge fan of the automatic transmission. I was just wondering if anybody has every heard of or considered swapping a 5 speed manual into something like this. I am quite mechanically skilled and have access to a lot of fabrication tools and equipment, however, if this is going to be a huge hassle than I may reconsider.

Any pictures of the pedal box and shifter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

I think the computer would throw codes at you, you'd need the computer off a 4.3 with a manual, just because the engine/transmission consistently "look for each other." Then you'll need the center console... etc... PITA

 

Old topic. If you try the 'search' function you'll find threads discussing this idea.

 

Ive searched in the past for a discussion on this topic with no luck.

 

Nah, it wasn't hard at all. Take a look at this thread and see if it answers your questions.

 

good lookin out. I havnt seen that one before.
