How much did that run ya? And how do you like it?
There's a part of me that wants to do a manual transmission swap on my truck.
I'd think trading your truck in for a new truck with a manual would be more cost effective, right?
It cost around $315 with shipping (there are several options/prices for various knobs). This replaces the entire shifter assembly.
This may be my favorite mod. I love it because of the buttery, "snicketty, snick'' feel rowing thru the gears. It makes every shift feel more precise and the Hurst T handle seems to fit my hand perfectly. The brushed aluminum may feel a bit cool to the touch if you live in the colder climates but I guess you could put a sock over it on harsh winter days. It doesn't bother me at all.
The installation is kind of a pain although it can be done with reasonable mechanical skill in a few hours. They have install instructions on their website if you want to see what it entails. (google Core Shifters for the website)
Not at this point. Swapping a transmission may actually be easier than swapping everything else. Plus they don't make a double cab long bed manual transmission.
Well, that looks just like my patch that came today! thanks
The patch is based off my truck ?. Thanks for supporting the site and FirefighterAid.org. ?
We're working on some new designs for the next round of patches.

That's a nice mod for you young boys but us old bastards need that looong stick
BTW nice job on the install, I've seen what's involved and that alone would make me pass.

That's an "O'l bastards" shifter for sure
LOL, thanks for calling me a young boy but I'll be 70 next week.That's a nice mod for you young boys but us old bastards need that looong stick

As far as the install, there was a little pain involved but a lot of things, I'm sure you know, are worth the pain sometimes!
About half way into it I was starting to have reservations but I'm glad I persisted. Took me way longer than if I was an actual young boy.
I enjoy the way it shifts and plan to keep this truck probably as long as they still sell gas!
I feel honored to have your wisdom upon us on T3G. Happy early birthday!
Any manual boys running 5.29 gearing on 35's? I have not seen many reviews of people actually having this setup.
PS i used the search function and couldnt find anything ?

That's fantastic, Only the "greyheads" know what an achievement that is at that age
how long did the install take? I think it would have taken me 2 to 3 days at my pace "not in a hurry" pace
Well Done
Thanks, I really appreciate the compliment!That's fantastic, Only the "greyheads" know what an achievement that is at that age

Lately everyting I do is at "not in a hurry pace".
So it took about four hours which I spread into two days to save my back.
Mostly it's tedious work because the shifter bolts are long, fine threaded things and you can only turn them about 1/10 turn at a time without having to reposition your wrench every time. All whilst bent over the console. Glad I did it though.
how much did it cost you
