Manual 2 Auto

Gutling · 08-20-2009, 11:30 AM

I am gathering parts for my 03 2.2 5spd to swap in a 5.3 and 4l60e. Will I need to get a master cylinder from a automatic s10? What else would I have to swap/switch/modify?

I am going to be using a cpw wiring harness as well.

Nothing really. Just make a plate to cover the hole in the floor for the shifter, auto trans crossmember, make a blockoff plate for where the slave cylinder attached to the firewall, and remove the clutch pedal, and that is it really.

Just curious, but what is the difference between the auto and manual crossmember? I tried a 4.3 auto crossmember and it was farther from fitting than my 2.2 5 speed crossmember.

i would like to know this also i am putting a 700r4 in my truck that used to be a 5 spd 2.2. i was thinking of just buying the universal crossmember from sd.com its only 50$

They made so many different types of crossmembers for these truck. You just have to find one that works. I bought one for an 02 s10 4.3 auto and it worked fine on my 95. It had the lower exhaust notch

C-DUB · 08-20-2009, 07:07 PM

You interested in selling the master cylinder/clutch pedal assembly??

Petro · 08-20-2009, 07:26 PM

The gauge cluster will also need to be changed unless you do the floor shift console...Since the manual's cluster doesn't display the gear selection...But of course this is just a option since the truck will still work without displaying the gear...It will look more factory like this way though..So either floor shift console conversion and keep the 2.2 cluster...or on the column with a different auto cluster...The cool thing about the 2.2 cluster is that it has a 7K Tach...

Gutling · 08-20-2009, 11:21 PM

I am doing the floor shift. Thanks for all the responses. So I need a auto trans crossmember from a 4.3?

lsxrx7 · 10-19-2009, 02:03 PM

sry to bump an old thread

but i cant find info on removnig the clutch pedal

do i have to pull the dash to get the clutch pedal out ?

mr spree · 10-19-2009, 02:19 PM

no you should be able to get it from underneath the dash,
pain in the butt but thats how you would do it

chapdou · 10-19-2009, 05:10 PM

me i try under but i wasn't able to remove it so i pull the dash and after that it was easy to do it

draggindime072010 · 10-19-2009, 06:26 PM

yea my dash just happened to be out when i got my pedal out

it was still a pain in the ass but it wasnt too bad. if you asked me how i did it i wouldnt have a clue i guess i just yanked and twisted on it after removing the bolts until it slid out

Gutling · 10-19-2009, 09:23 PM

I haven't tried yet, when I am swapping the engine I am pulling out all the interior and was going to tackle it yet.

The big differances b etween them is where they mount on the passenger side of the frame and where the exhaust passes by them. On a 2.2 the exhaust goes under the crossmember and on a 4.3 it goes over it. I ended up putting the 2.2 crossmember back in the truck, since it gave the exhaust more room to pass

1 more question
can i use the auto shifter in the manual center console ?
i found a manual console for sale local for a decent price

Gutling · 10-29-2009, 08:21 PM

So I got a center console with shifter out of a bravada today. I got the full console, shifter, and the cable running to the transmission. I also grabbed the small wire harness that runs from it to behind the plastic tray under the dash, is there the hookup behind my dash? What does it control? There were two plugs going to the shifter, I figured one was the lights, and the other was a park/neutral safety?

**Kampz69** · 10-29-2009, 09:36 PM

i dont think youll have the plug under the dash, that was only found in some blazers. i was lucky, it was in mine when i swapped in my floor shift console so the wiring was easy, though i did have to repin the plug/connector. if you dont have the plug under the dash youll have to wire it yourself.
