Auto to man trans swap help (1st gen)
I did research and have a pretty good idea whats needed as far as parts. However, I can't personally do it because my skills are not good enough to do a transmission swap. Does anyone know a shop in SoCal that has done the swap before? My mechanic never did it and I don't want my truck to be a guinea pig. I need a shop that know exactly whats needed and how to do it. Also, how much will a swap like this approximately cost? For parts and Labor? Thanks for your help

Welll as far as parts go, do you have a parts truck? or are you buying them new? or from the wrecker.
Im on the track to do the same thing if everything pans out, but i still have to wait.
I've heard that its not super extreme hard, but poses some difficulty if you wanted to do it yourself.

Whats difficult about swapping toy trannies?
I did this swap with a buddy in a few hours for under $500 bucks
My Parts list
Tranny/t-case - $75 from the junkyard
X-member (Don't think its needed, but came with the Trans)
New Clutch Kit - $98
Slave cyl, and clutch lines - $5 junkyard
Pedal cluster - $5 junkyard
New Flywheel - $60
Flywheel bolts - free at the junkyard
Interior stuff from the 5spd (had all of it)
I reused my d-shafts, I had no problems with using the auto ones
Jumping the NSS is easy as pie, 4" piece of wire with 2 male spades on the end.
