Anyone who has done auto to 6 speed in please!

Looks like I am probably going to be doing the swap from a 4L60E to the T56. Next question is where besides the board because I will be trying there first is a good place to get the parts needed? What all parts are needed? While I am doing this what is a good clutch to put in? This car is probably around 350-375 horsepower and will get nitrous and it is my only car daily driver.....Computer wise, what is needed? Can I get bryan at pcm4less to program the tranny out of my computer or will I need to swap him computers? or swap someone else? Help me out guys I wanna get this done....besides I gotta practice not real great at driving a manual.....yet

93 just needs a manual chip from GM, 94+ needs a reprogram. I did the swap and I very much like my SPEC stage II kevlar clutch. As far as all the little parts & their part numbers, I can't remember all of them, but you'll need at least the tranny, bellhousing, clutch slave/master cylinder assembly, flywheel, the pedal assembly, the shifter, the shifter console plate, the transmission crossmember, and the new speedo sensor (and all bolts to fasten the transmission & accessories in). Best thing to do is to go to your local dealership in the parts dept. and have them print you off the schematics sheet(s), that way you'll know you'll have everything you need.

a FULL weekend and around $1800 (including the clutch), same as if you were to rebuild your auto...

do you have to swap driveshafts or yokes when you do the swap?

no you dont need a new driveshaft, basically its a bolt in replace almost. need to do a little cutting for the pedals, and the shifter. madwolf did my program for the swap.
