5 Speed Swapping OBS Chevy 

I hate cutting the grass and don't give a damn about my lawnmower beyond regular maintenance, so I don't have to put extra money in it. Yet I found myself watching a good ol boy fix a lawn mower, and a couple videos later I'm now invested in what's to come for this old Chevy. I appreciate your commentary and honesty when you don't know something. I also appreciate you admit the struggle the rest of us garage tinkerers experience when something straight forward turns into 4 hours and a few tools thrown across the garage. I hope the channel continues to grow for you.

1991 that’s an oldie but goodie, anything that old is dust where I live in the salt belt👍 That second truck looks like my last truck 07 Silverado, when I sold it had 350 thousand miles original engine and transmission 👍 Last stick and truck I’ll ever own, I’m retired carpenter.

I admire a guy who changes his own transmissions! I hope you don't regret NOT changing the rear main seal. I didn't do it on my first ever transmission replacement. I ended up pulling it back out a year later to replace the seal. Now i dont replace a tranny without replacing the rear main seal. Yeah i know, only 50K on the engine. Maybe it will be OK... Good job on the manual swap!

Take your cross member out and let down a little and u can get the other bolts out

Well done

Nice job

The crawlspace crapper told me about your Chanel like the content can't wait for the next one

Cool channel. A few things I thought of while watching. I know you may have these on your list but here goes - Lay down plastic drop clothes before removing the auto trans (you know you're going to spill so just cover your floor before you spill). Clean (power wash) the manual trans before putting it in. Clean (power wash) manual cross member before putting it in. Pinion seal may be leaking. Maybe change out the old gear oil. New hitch. Install the front tow hooks from the donor truck on the new truck. Good luck with it.

Awesome, I wish there was a great video like this for the squarebodies. I subscribed!

Awesome video! I really enjoyed myself. Thanks for the content.

I love the old Chevy/GMC’s especially the late 70’s early 80’s, but I’m really liking that Wheelhorse!!! Love my 89 312-8, it’s a tank!!!

I have an ‘89 K1500 and there’s hardly a speck of rust on it. 5.7 with the 700R4 tranny. I have to get it back together and on the road again. Probably be my next sizable project. That parts truck was LIT!

Can never be mad at a gmt400 good pick up buddy. My 700ra in my 98 I had used to slip in 1-2 shift. I never touched it and it went away, idk if I was just lucky lol.

Cool project. I still have my 04 dodge i bought amd ordered it with a 5 speed and have my late uncles 93 chevy s10 4.3 5 speed. I definitely prefer a manual. My uncle bought the s10 early 94, it was a salesman's ride for a couple months

I'm a new subscriber from Texas and I 'am interested in doing that transmission swap myself, I appreciate your honesty as you did this and hopefully I'll learn about what else you do. I feel you are never to old to learn something new so I try to learn something every day. Thanks again now I know a little bit more about how to plan my swap and what's involved. 😊

👍👍👌👌 Good work! Thanks for the video.

Keep up the good work, your channel will grow. I watch a lot of RU-vid and your camerawork is better than 80 percent of RU-vid. Happy 4th.

Conversion ujoint nice way to say it I now them as bastard joints lol

Love the content ❤ 😅 😊

Good job takes patience 👍.

The difference in the drive shaft length is the same as the difference in transmission length

I'm not saying it's easy but Chevy definitely makes it doable

Nice again

Do you know when a good time to change a rear main seal on 5.7 Chevy is? When you already have the transmission out and flex plate off!!! 🤓

I have every day driver 1991 k1500 salvage yard put 1993 4l60e transmission in it lol toke forever to figure out yes came with 700r4

I got a nv 4500 in my yukon 06 😅

That u joint seal is leaking on your axle

you need some chains on that horse!!
