Posted February 21, 2013

Hey guys. I bought an 89 GMC Sierra K1500 a couple of weeks ago. It has a 350 in it too. It has a turbo 350 trans in it now which I'm not a complete fan of. I had a 95 Sierra with a 5spd in it and absolutely loved it, Looking to make this truck I got a manual. Any idea on what a good 5spd trans to use? Will I need to make any modifications to the drive train...like a different transfer case or axles? Do I need to get a different PCM? Any information would help.

Thanks,

Bryan

  Ha!! So GM Customer service, ive already been talking with someone on your email team and there is nothing they can do. So pretty consistent with everyone else’s experience- you can do NOTHING.. worthless emails. Sure glad i have 4 GM cars on our family cuz now its clear you dont care.. Sad and pathetic.
