Just a FYI for the other guys doing the swap. If you pull the inner fender out you can get right to the mater cylinder dimple without removing anything else and you can fit a regular drill in there
I broke a piece in my clutch pedal in my 2003 Silverado and had to remove a bunch of stuff to get to it. Such a pain, I’m so glad I’m watching this video
Love the series, its very helpful! Just a thought on doing any interior cutting like with the shifter, a drill and jigsaw with a metal blade would work well and avoid sparks.
I bought a chevy that was converted to a manual. I love chevy trucks so this is my project. Previous owner is in his 20's. So I'm fixing all the problems he had with the truck. Brakes, interior lighting etc. Your videos help me understand the process he went through with the automatic to manual. Thank you.
I am quite positive that I can do the swap on my 2012, a.k.a. GMT 900, the same mounting points are there for the clutch pedal. I think I’m gonna order the clutch pedal and send it, there is no info available on the swap, however, they did offer the trucks in Mexico with a manual transmission.
@BustedCanofBiscuitsGarage here is some more info this guy didn't give. Retain the factory nuetral safty and the vehicle should still operate as normal. And the reverse will be pig tailed from the nuetral safty harness and you might have to possibly add a positive wire to your reverse switch for when you engage reverse your lights come on
@BustedCanofBiscuitsGarage also you shouldn't have to mess around with the clutch possition switch it will just shut your cruise control of and make it so you have to compress the clutch to start. Unless you want them things which most people like the safty features but that's the hard parts I faced
On some hole saw kits, if there are enough threads on the chuck, you can put the first (too small) hole saw on inside of the bigger and it works like a pilot bit.
I made my truck manual thanks to you but the only problem that i have is with the clutch pedal I don't know if i can adjust it cuz none of the gears cant get
Just now trying to do this but I'm starting with 5 speed V6 2002 silverado but want to change over to a 4.8 or 5.3.... but I'm unsure if my transmission would need to be changed or can I use it on the swap
Whats the bore of the master cylinder? I'm retrofitting an AR5 into my 2500HD and wonder if the stock master is a good bore for the transmission I'm using
Question how did you remedy the clutch position switch.automatic harness doesn't have the plug for it and I was wandering how to wire that in. Rock auto sells the plug to be spliced in just need shown
I 'm going to stick in my sierra , after watching this video , no way with the gm built to break clutch assembly. found a wilwood 340-1436-1 to replace the whole thing , power brakes and all. after i make a composite inner and outer fire wall plate it should be an straight' foward install
Really? Dude only deals with the Short bed single cabs? Hmmmm you think maybe I could get his info? I’m thinking about getting a single cab short bed for a slidey boy truck
I installed mine in my truck today! Didnt had to loosen the dash.. But its a pretty tight fit! I pushed hard on the pedal assembly and had to trim a little piece of rubber on the truck near the hole in the firewall for clearance! Also did another hole in the mount like he did in the video to pass a nut behind to bolt it in place, worked very well!
@@simonpierre100you indeed have to remove the dash if you're going from an automatic 4l60e to a 5speed especially using the metal clutch pedal. Because you have to install the metal bracket that stops the clutch pedal from flexing that bracket goes right under the Vin number there's noway to install it without removing the dash!
@@simonpierre100 i have a 02 silverado 4x4 ext cab & im in the process of doing the swap aswell what did you do for the driveshaft? did the oem one fit?
@@superbroadcaster i bougt a nv3500 with tcase from a gm 4x4 4,8 vortec! I don't think you could use a 2wd nv3500 and put a t case on it. you have to find a 4x4 version (sorry for my poor english, im french)
10:35 "here" is where the stupid 1/16" plastic diaphragm leverage fulcrum. it broke on my doing a 3-4 shift and pedal went to floor. as sadistic as it sounds that top bolt procedure is 12hr labor. DO NOT use oem pedal guys please. I heard of woman almost dying on 1-2 shift on 65mph rural cross road. I used a willwood master and universal billet pedal. with my v8 swap. after i read the protocol for the job in the manual I couldn't believe what i had to do to get pedal out there was no way I was going to do it again with guy on forum saying he went plasticless after third failure. take apart dash and fasteners ( some of which windshield may need to be removed to get access) to rotate entire dash up and forwards to access blind top fastener to rotate down and back clutch pedal. another one to consider is with the billet is you swing is in line not hooked to the right inches. this allowed me to notch slave hole few inches lower weld in plate and have inline swing that fell nearly where e brake is. gives a nice low and wide body placement when driving and makes it nearly imposable to accidently cycle clutch and drive off with e brake on. not bashing your video man, great content liked video. I'm just a tile guy and wish I had known all of this before i started a " quick fix" after stated talking about welders lol.
