Lessee.....
Kickdown and other cables
More ATF
Shifter mechanism inc all the mechanical bits under the plastic cover
Console if the shifter hole is in a different spot
? Different crossmember
? Any change in driveshaft length
C'mon you discobrainiacs must be more than this... |

The transfer case has a different spline on the input shaft of the manual vs. the auto. Either the t-case would have to be changed or the different style input shaft installed. I'm not sure on driveshaft lenght but a call to the dealer to see if the part numbers are the same would probably answer this, same with crossmember. The metal plate in the floor will be different but i think the console is the same ( while calling dealer . . ) |

The t-case is the same you just need the spud shaft. Cruise ECU, Engine ECU are not the same but I think you can do without them.
Basically if you pull the box out of a complete truck and get the shifter and spud you could make it work.

Martin: You might have to deal with adding an ATF cooler too.....dunno if the stick shift has one.... |
