Transmission interchange?

[cajun66]

All star Crevrolet in Baton Rouge has it in stock for 72 bucks.

Is that for a complete shifter?
The one that i replaced in my TK5 some years back was only sold as a complete unit, they were $50+ then.

Yep. It's the whole assembly.

[RClem]

That was one of the reasons I ofted to change the trans/transfer case on my B2 when I swapped in the 4.0.
The bushing for the M5od are like $16 from the dealer.
I do wish I could have kept the lower first gear in the TK5 tho.

I was surprised to find mine.

Started to swap the pedal assembly today. Not as easy as I'd hoped. I thought I may be able to swap the pedals without pulling the cast aluminum bracket above the steering column. No such luck. The brake pedal came out easy enough but the crutch pedal going in will not clear the main wiring bus. I pulled the instrument cluster and I'm hoping to get the steering column pulled tomorrow so that I can get the old bracket loose to rotate enough to get the clutch pedal started.

i swapped the pedals in a xplorer without taking the bracket off. and yes it was/is a PITA. i had to take off foot brake assy off and move a bunch of wires,but i got it

[cajun66]

All in a day's work.

[cajun66]

Time to get to the install.

[Ranger Dave]

that come out good

Machined by a guy who rebuilds industrial electric motors. Exact to +/- 0.0002 in. And spun balanced to 60,000 rpm. Overkill, I know, but we had the time.

[Ranger Dave]

i still would of gone with the xplorer yoke and DC shaft. how much that weight??

[cajun66]

Weight isn't too much as it's hollow. Reason for the adapter was $$$. A friend cut it for free. I work for the City of Baton Rouge. I stay broke so budget is a major priority.

Swapped out the pedals today. About as much fun as hitting myself in the head with a hammer. Had to pull the brake booster, drop the steering column, and get real flexable. But they're in. Now to put the clutch master cylinder in.
