Ok so I have done a ton of searching before posting this so please don't bash me if the info is out there I just missed it. Would be great if this swap had been done and documented before but I can't seem to find anything out there. I am going to try and document this as well as I can. If this actually works it can really save some guys a bunch of money that want to go from auto to manual but dont have thousands to spend on a transmission set-up.
I have a 99 7.3 PSD with the 4R100. Trans is out and its going to cost 2500 or so for a rebuild. I was looking at a ZF6 swap which was about 2800 when I added the cost up. Not bad BUT i stumbled across a ZF5 2WD truck in the junkyard when getting other parts and pulled it out. Cost me 150 bucks. So to swap the ZF5 into the powerstroke truck I think I have it mostly figured out except for the pcm.
PCM Swap- Is this actually needed and why?
Besides that I think I have what I need or know what I need listed below but if something looks wrong please let me know and thanks for any help!
HAVE
-ZF5 2WD Trans
-ZF5 Slave Cylinder & Hydraulic Line
-ZF5 Inspection Cover
-IDI Adaptor/Sandwich Plate
-OBS Cab floor pan for manual trans (I am betting on having to weld/cut/bend this to get it to work in the SD cab)
NEED TO GET
-95-97 PSD Flywheel & Clutch
-99-03 Super Duty Clutch Pedal & Bracket
-99-03 Master Cylinder (Possibly hydraulic line)
-Custom Driveshaft
-Manual PCM (Maybe)
