I'm looking into buying myself a 96 Dakota with a 360 and 46RE swap but the overdrive isn't hooked up in it. Wondering if it'd be easier to try and wire that in or just convert it to an NV3500. Keeping an eye on this thread.

I love the 5spd trucks. I sold my red 96 5spd reg cab short box. and missed it so I found another one ext cab auto because I could'nt find a 5spd one so I'm doing it myself it's a pretty easy swap when you have a part's truck. good luck with what ever you do cheer's.

And mine came from autozone. After shipping on that plus seals plus muffler it was actually cheaper to site to store

what problem are you having with it? Is it to big to go into crank?
I have had that problem before on my 66 Charger..the automatic cranks were not "drill finished" for the manual trans pilot bearing...so I had to get the "adapted to fit" bushing for my auto crank

yer gonna have to measure the holes in both...I bet the auto crank hole is a bit smaller....even .005" will make it not fit right

I converted an auto magnum to 5-speed you need the pilot bearing with sleeve goes right in or it did for me with no problem. you may have some rust build up in the hole on the crank or something since the hole hasn't been used for anything in the last 20 some odd years.
