[Sorry for the typo title, any moderators want to fix that?]
Hey all, transmission quit on me last weekend. I'm still in the process of figuring out what happened to it but since I've had school I've been stuck without time. I drove my brother's previous wrecked Tahoe to school 3 hours away and will be back to diagnose my baby late Monday. I will probably take it to a shop on Tuesday to see what they can find out.
Anyway, I've been desiring a manual vehicle simply because I love driving them and I love to be able to choose my own gear instead of a computer doing it for me. I'm pretty sure, but not 100% sure, that the 2002 4.7L Ram 1500 had an edition that came with a standard transmission. I say this because I've heard of them, saw them, and because my truck has a clutch delete plate. So my truck is a 4x4, which means it has that damn stick sticking out of the floor in the center where I believe the shifter would go for the manual transmission right? So is there a way to make a 2002 4.7L manual transmission fit a 2002 4.7L Ram 1500 Quad Cab?
I want to do this for a few reasons, the first reason being that I love driving standard like I said before. The other reason would be because I can actually work on a manual transmission if it goes bad again. These automatic transmissions are really t0o far beyond my abilities as a self-taught advanced maintenance college kid. So, anyone ever do this process before?
