I need everything to convert from auto tranny to manual trans in my f150.
Clutch pedal
Clutch linkage
Bellhousing
ZF5 4x4 transmission
IDK what all the slave cylinder shiat is but i guess i need all of that shenannigans too. Anything I'm missing?

know-how?
I can put it all in, I just don't know if I really need all of the slave cylinder shiat. It's pretty much like power brakes for the clutch pedal right?
not exactly. kinda like brakes, not the power part. you need a slave and clutch master and hyd line.
I see. Hydraulic clutch. I'm more familiar with the mechanical linkage of my 66 mustang.
this is a bad idea
You wanna tell me why or just issue your opinion?
Everyone spanks off to the ZF, in truth, the Mazda 5 speed in half tons is not too bad. If I were you, I would stick with the auto, but if you insist on a manual you will need the clutch/brake pedal assembly, the clutch master cylinder, the clutch slave cylinder, tranny (a 4wd ZF from a 351 truck, good luck finding it), a different flywheel, a throw out bearing, a clutch.
Additionally your harness will not have the "safety" of no start with the clutch not in (it can be added)
Honestly, and I am not knocking your idea, you will be cheaper on an E40d rebuild (clutch 200, flywheel 50, slave and master cylinder 150, you are already at $400 and you have not bought the tranny yet!)
because small block ZF5's aren't easy to find, unless you have the power of the joo.
further more, by the time you buy everything: clutch, flywheel, master, slave, trans, cross member, you could have had the auto rebuilt and be good to go for another 100k. money is better well spent somewhere else.
what are you trying to accomplish with this?
A decent torque converter for an E4OD costs close to 400 and I have 2 E4ODs I can sell to get a ZF transmission.Quote:

I don't have direct knowledge of the E40d , but generally torque converters are under $200 (about $120 for a C6, TH400, 700R4, etc...)
A quick interweb search shows them to be around 350, I'll be damned
A decent torque converter is around 350 or 400, and I've been told by multiple transmissions shops that they won't even touch the E4OD for less than 1700 and from what I've read on other forums, that's on the low end for a rebuild. So that's over 2k on transmission stuff on a truck I only paid 1k for.Quote:

Question, What is this things future? A ZF5 is hard to find, a Mazda 5 is easy and not too bad. A NP435 is pretty easy to find, strong as hell, but no OD. If I was doing the trouble of this I would consider the NP435, if long highway travel was not an issue.
