I purchased a used 4speed for my 89 I6 with the bellhousing and was wondering how difficult its going to be so install and about how long it will take?

 

4x4 or 2x4?

if it is 4x4 i hope you got the trans to transfercase adapter too.

is it a mechanical clutch or a hydro clutch? you'll need the master to slave line.

do you already have a manual trans? if not your going ot need a pedal assembly, too.

list what your truck is exactly then i can help you more.

 

The truck has a four speed manual in it already and its a 4x4. My syncronizers are shot and the bellhousing is cracked so I went with a used transmission for 375.00.

 

Btwn 2-4 hrs, I used to do autos in my old truck in under an hr.

 

oh i was figuring you wanted to swap one in and you had a 5 speed.

but your just replacing one. with another one.

remove driveshafts.
pull transfer off.

undo all bell housing bolts and trans crossmember bolts. unhook the slave for the clutch place transjack under the trans. pull trans back and lower jack.

oh yeah you have to do something about your shifter too. i myself pull up the flooring and remove the trans tunnel, makes for getting the bell housing bolts easy too. then i pull the whole top plate off the trans. i made the mistake of pulling the shifter only out one time. it is a pain in the yeah to get it back in.
