find me one for less than $1k that doesn't have 150k miles plus and I'll do it

Uhh...not on my side of the country :lmao:

I got my 2006 3.5 for 1800 with 93k. I am damn pleased with it too :lmao:

I know where there is a 07 3.7 right now, unsure on the mileage....I could call. The motor is still in the truck......and he has had it for awhile.....I might be able to wheel and deal a price

Thanks Chris @CodeRed

Just skimmed through your thread, great work. I hope my research and prep makes things go that smooth. Got a few questions for you as I get ready to do my T56 swap. How different are the brake pedals? Maybe the earlier auto pedals were different, but the brake pedal in my 09 looks very similar to your manual brake pedal.



For the clutch master cyl did you just drill a hole in the middle of the square on the firewall and dremel and file it out the rest of the way? Thanks!

Here is a picture for comparison.

Not sure that I can confirm nor deny being able to use the OEM AT pedal with the clutch pedal or not.

Honestly I would NOT do that. There needs to be the appropriate spacing between the brake and clutch pedal for safety. If that combination could be used I'm sure they would have done that from the factory....but they didn't.

I'm a firm believer in one thing on swaps...... do it right or not at all :shrug:

*** for the Clutch Master hole in the firewall ***

1) I used a right angle drill to drill a series of holes around the perimeter of the pre-cut/punched Clutch master hole.
2) I used a Dremel to cut out where I could
3) for the remiaining material I used a die grinding bit and sanding drums to clean up the hole

@squeak

Sorry to go off topic but are those pedals welded on to the factory metal plate? How did you attach the gas pedal? (It seems to be one piece plastic)

 

[1BADI5]

@Skizzo

The Clutch and Brake pedal covers are drilled and bolted on(recessed bolt and nylon nut on the back)

The Gas pedal, I drilled pilot holes and used some self tapping type recessed screws

Thanks. Before I swap the transmission I'm going to cut the hole for the master cylinder and install it and the clutch pedal to test the fit with the brake pedal and the clutch pedal switch's effect on cruise control and starting. If the pedals are too close together I will address it. Another option is to do what I remember others doing on s10s and cutting the AT brake pedal down to where the rubber pad from a manual brake pedal fits it correctly. Thanks again, 1badi5 and I'll let everyone know how it all works out.

I forget if I've asked you this in another thread

What happens in your truck when you use cruise control if you depress the clutch? Does it disengage cruise or just let the intake run away with the rpms?

Mine does the latter.

Option 1, cancels the cruise.

@1BADI5 you were right, the pedals are far too c!ose together when using the automatic brake pedal.

@1BADI5 what offset wrench brand did you use and how did you get it undone without the starter removed. I've even removed the starter and shimmied off the trans and still can't get it figured out. Take a peek. http://www.355nation.net/forum/engi...expletive-do-you-unbolt-torque-converter.html

When I did mine, I made a tool.

Take a 18mm 12 pt socket, cut in half to make the socket shorter. Weld it to a metal flat plate. Done

Great idea Colby..... I used it as an excuse to buy more tools :kiki:
