budget 4 speed swap?

well....you could buy my bell and put a T5 in it out of a GM? Seriously, you are not going to do this on a budget unless your budget is around $800. Flywheel and pressure plate, shifter and Z-bar, pedals...it all adds up. There was a complete setup for under 800 on here a few weeks ago. Thats the way to go, the ENTIRE changeover including the hump. a T5 has its own shifter on the end of the tailshaft so thats money ahead, they are also pretty inexpensive as they were tens of thousands installed in GM products as well as Ford but they have a different pattern. TRy and hit a pick-a-part on a holiday weekend and find a Dakota with a 5 speed. Grab the entire setup for 1/2 price. Full manual auto is still a 3 speed, with pretty wide gaps.
