6 speed manual swap and t/c??

okidoc · 11-25-2007, 11:48 AM

If someone wanted to drop in a GM LS1 with a 6 speed manual into a 95 V6 4 runner, how would they go about adapting a t/c to the tranny?

Also is there anyone who has installed a V8 and kept their A/C intact?

NWOR has some great products that look like they may make the swap easier, has anyone used their looms or mount kits?

I did the same swap in my bosses 844runner and i had to call advanced adapters and have them make me an adapter

Just use OTT's divorced case adapter. runs about 400 bucks and then run whatever trans you want. just a thought.

I too was considering the same swap, putting a T-56 behind the LT1 in mine and I was told... "the ouput shaft on the T-56 has a problem with oversized tires and will not last with that low of a gear ratio". I can't remember if it was Downey or Advance Adapters that told me that tho, it was probably 6 years ago, just as an FYI. Good luck to you in your swap.
