Is it hard to switch a 94 from a 5 to a 6 speed

 

[Stroke&Smokin cowboy]

What bout switching from a 5five to a six?

 

[Sea97Stroker]

It wouldnt be hard, It only took me two days to swap from an auto.

What would you say is the total investment into this project?


Thanks

I'm just starting the process of making my slush box a ZF5 handshaker, when I get a built engine I will go on up to the ZF6 then.
I will do my best to make a good write up with pictures and all that.

would I be able to unbolt my zf5 and bolt up a zf6 or would it take some doing

 

[pwrstrk01]

it takes some doin clutch is different, slave cylinder is different, i am not sure about the OBS transfercase, i used a superduty transfercase. the 6 speed is longer so you need to lengthen your front drive shaft and shorten your rear drive shaft. you will also have to move your crossmember back and drill new holes. i used the superduty crossmember sincei had to drill new holes anyways and i didnt have to beat the hell out of the floor to make room for the tranny to clear.

thanks I figured it might, im either going with the zf6 or an eaton fuller of some sort.

any idea if the pedal assembly from an f150 would work?

 

[DIYMechanic]

As long as it is a 92-96, the pedal box should be the same.

I'm also building a 96' with the e4od and would like to know what parts I need to make swap work, do I need SD pedals slave cylinder etc., also do I need a SD transfer case?

 

[96StrokedOut]

Never mind just read complete thread

 

[97HDstroker]

what about doing a one piece rear shaft? most newer trucks have them. also with the truck being together for a while how does it drive? mine is a five speed and i would like to swap to six speed.

It's been. Year since this thread had any action but I have a question that wasn't covered at all. Do I need to source a zf5 access plate for the trans tunnel? I have both shifter boots from the superduty so I suppose I could just cut mine to fit. If the zf5 panel works I would prefer to do that. I already have the zf6, transfer case, crossmember,clutch and flywheel, shifter and boots, drive shafts, wiring harness, zf6 master and slave and all the bolts. I need the obs pedals master cylinder and hose and maybe the trans tunnel panel. I'm located in MA if anyone has what I need

 

[Justincredible]

obs trans panel works, thats what i have with my zf6

 

[CCLBpsd]

Thanks justincredible, which drive shafts and cross member did you use I've read that the e4od front shaft works and the sd front shaft. Also the sd crossmember works by just drilling new holes?

I know this is an old thread, thought I would reply since I just finished a ZF6 installation and getting rid of the carrier bearing and going to a one piece rear driveshaft. Got a few thousand miles on it now and it seems fine.

 

[MisplacedTXN]

What did y'all do for the wiring harness so your reverse lights work? I have about 4000 miles on my swap, but still haven't fooled with the reverse lights.

This is sweet!

I have a 96' auto that came factory with a ZF-5, but some yahoo did an auto conversion on it. One day I hope to put a ZF-6 in it.

Right now I am sorting out weak spots, and after I sort out the body this is next!

Thanks for the inspiration.
