Look in the classified ads of you local newspaper. Find a listing that says "1998 Chevy S-10, automatic transmission." Offer the guy 10% less than the asking price. Buy it. Place an ad in the same paper, "1998 Chevy S-10, manual transmission." Include your phone number. Sell it to the first person who comes close to your price. Yeah, I know that's a smart a** answer, but it's cheaper and a WHOLE lot less trouble than what you're thinking of. All sorts of things aren't going to fit up right. And even if you accomplish your mission, you'll have an 8 year old truck that might have been worth six grand before you messed with it, after who knows if anybody will take it off your hands for any price.
Depends on the model of the truck
It can cost between $500 and $2000 to change a manual transmission to an automatic transmission. The labor costs will depend on the specific shop charges.
To convert a 1992 Chevy Beretta from automatic to manual transmission, you'll need to gather a compatible manual transmission, clutch assembly, pedals, and necessary linkage. Begin by removing the automatic transmission and associated components, then install the manual transmission along with the clutch pedal and master/slave cylinder. Modify or replace the wiring harness if needed, and ensure the driveshaft and mounts are compatible. Finally, fill the manual transmission with the appropriate fluid and test the system before driving.
look on forums for the most complete write ups on conversions. Google search Chevy forums, you should find many to get info from
yes, you can make almost any vehicle with an automatic transmission manual, but it is usually not worth the expense, you have to get your hands on the manual transmission then you have to modify the floor for the shifter and put in a clutch & linkage all in all not usually worth it
The M on the gearshift of a Chevy Equinox stands for manual. The Chevy Equinox comes with a manual mode for using the gearshift like a manual transmission on an automatic.
Why? There is no need to change the manual transmission fluid in a 2 year old vehicle.
If it is a automatic its is the hydramatic 4l80e if it is a manual transmission it is a v 4500
NV3500 if a manual, 4L60E if an automatic.
Yes it is. It will go right in there with no problems. Will not have to change anything.
Not hard if you are mechanically inclined. Having a donor vehicle that is the same as your truck but automatic is key. This would give you all the parts, nuts, bolts, brackets, linkage, etc to do the swap.
The only easily done maintenances for a manual or automatic transmission is the transmission fluid change. While Chevy says that this should be done every 100,000 miles, I did mine at 50,000 with royal purple and the transmission has been fantastic since then. I am currently at 85,000 with an original clutch and transmission.
