5spd tranny swap

I have searched and seached for the list of things needed to swap from an automatic transmission to the 5spd transmission on a 2001 GXE.What all do I need to do the swap.

but you just posted in all motor in the parts list sticky......

To answer your question you can use the 4th gen speed yes, but I believe the shift linkages are shorter then the 5th gen ones, one solution is to use a B&M short throw shifter the other is you can use the 5th gen shift linkages.

I just did this swap on my 5th gen Bsaically all you need is the 5 spdtranny, manual motor mount, new seals, drivers side axle, master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch/flywheel and the associated bolts, shift linkages, clutch lines, and the maunual ecu if you don't want any codes.

Just to let you know I have an extra slave, master, and clutch for the 5th gen just in case you need them.

i have never heard of getting codes from an ECU swap
what codes did you through
where are you and what do you want for the master and slave
did you use a 4th of 5th gen linkage setup

What i mean was youll get codes unless you swap to manual ecu. All codes were auto tranny related since the ecu can't figure out that it's not there anymore. I let them both go for 75 shipped from las vegas. Also, i used 5th gen linkages.

Were they ever used? I'm considering the swap too on my AE... VLSD of course I was planning on buying a BRAND NEW VLSD from DaveB, so i dont have to worry about a broken junkyard 5spd

You'll get 3 codes relating to the automatic tranny.
