its just as easy as any other tranny job, it actually took me and my mechanic about 6 hours. Just call shep and order the conversion kit.

Yeah, it sucks, I am only 17 and the total for everything im wanting to do is going to cost around 3k, I need to get a five speed, have it built and the ring and pinion gear in the t-case is bad so I have to get that too. Shep said he would work out a deal to take some money off if I brought him the trans and t-case together to be built. So I guess im going to have to take out a loan for this one!
