sactownog Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, I have a 1933 Dodge DP 6 sedan 230 flat head is out of a 1953 Dodge. I want to swap the 3 SPEED transmission with a T-5 S-10 4-5 SPEED MANUAL transmission so I have better gearing. I plan on using Vintage Metal Works adapter http://vintagemetalworks.blogspot.com/2014/04/new-product-dodge-218230-passenger-car.html?m=1 but am having trouble sourcing an 82 - 87 T-5 S10 MANUAL Transmission with mechanical speed. AND have never done a transmission swap of this magnitude however I am pretty well versed mechanically and think I can do it, I would like some pointers and help in these areas. are you willing to throw a guy a bone here and help a brotha out? picture is my 33 dodge.

DJ194950 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 Call any transmission shop and ask the if those years still have a easily removable speedo sensor ( pulse) that can just have a older style mechanical output installed.? Those years of automatics could have that easily exchanged. Just a thought! DJ Quote

DJ I should have specified I am looking for a MANUAL transmission, I would not mind going automatic, however I do think Manual would be better to stay stock looking with the upgraded trany. Quote
DJ194950 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 The suggestion was check if the t-5 manuals trans could possible be changed the same way, was not only talking auto trans. DJ Quote
