I found everything needed to do the swap for less than 2k including trans

you realy must like the way they shift to go through all this, I've driven a few and pretty much hate them. I like the split em as ya go varieties much better.

well i hate my nv4500, ive tossed the idea around but id never do it

 

[swamp_ratt]

Well, considering i can do EVERYTHING for this setup for under 2k, its well worth it, and still cheaper than any other manual trans setup. Thats the trans, t-case, air compressor, tank, and lines, flywheel housing, flywheel, clutch, clutch brake and other miscellaneous stuff. Doesnt include shafts, but regardless, id have to make shafts anyway. Tell me where i can get a complete zf6 setup for that price?

is it an overdrive version

 

[swamp_ratt]

Direct. Im not gonna spend 2800 on an od when i can get the direct for 5-700

 

[swamp_ratt]

I can always throw an od kit in it for another 300 if i ever wanted

If it ain't worth doing right the first time it ain't worth doing period!

 

[swamp_ratt]

That is all doing it the right way using oe parts other than the clutch. The clutch is a 2400 lb/ft clutch
