I've heard its quite a good amount of fabrication and that its significantly easier to just swap in a Getrag 282. Quote
white4d96 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 It's been done, with lots of cutting and welding. Also, you need to have custom axles made, and the one person I have heard of that did the swap had issues finding axles that didn't suck. Quote
jman093 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Here's the build thread on 1 of 2 F40 swapped w's. http://www.gpona.com/forums/transmissions-f15/noah-brainard-s-njbrain-six-speed-swap-thread-first-run-t4271.html Quote
Z34guy Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 A member on here did it to his '95 GTP. I believe gpchris is his username. Quote

xtremerevolution Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Yeah, that's the other one. He's pretty secretive about how to do the swap though. Yep. A Getrag 282 would be the way I would go. Easiest way to get a manual trans in a w-body. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 holy hell that's a lot of work, so awesome though. last post says he sold it due to broken axle?? seems like a waste Quote
white4d96 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 He got married and was expecting a child IIRC. Quote
l67ss Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 Actually i pmed him a while back and he was VERY forthcoming telling everything involved, specs and where to buy axles, and even offered to sell me some spare parts Yeah, that's the other one. He's pretty secretive about how to do the swap though. Quote
carkhz316 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 Actually i pmed him a while back and he was VERY forthcoming telling everything involved, specs and where to buy axles, and even offered to sell me some spare parts Care to share any of those details. I wish that guy would do some sort of showcase thread or something. Quote
l67ss Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Take a few days for me to dig it up but sure Care to share any of those details. I wish that guy would do some sort of showcase thread or something. Quote
RobertISaar Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 chris seems to delete or move all of his photobucket photos every once in a while.... when they're present in a thread older than ~6 months, i'm amazed. Quote
carkhz316 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Take a few days for me to dig it up but sure Thanks, I'd really appreciate it. We need that kind of info around these parts. Quote
l67ss Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Yeah i was planning on doing a how to thread when i did the swap, and yes with pics Thanks, I'd really appreciate it. We need that kind of info around these parts. Quote
