1997 tranny swap
I have a 1997 f350 with 235,000 miles and it is a 5 speed manual. I also have a wrecked 2000 f250 that has a 6 speed manual. I was wondering if anyone has ever put a six speed in a 97 and if it would fit without having to change anything else

Driveshafts are different. Atleast the rear one.
Youll want the SD manual shift transfer case.
Youll need the spacer plate between the motor and transmission.
You can use te ZF5 harness for reverse lights and cruise if you want it.
You need the SD transmission tunnel. You could also take a hammer to yours to clearance it.
I think that's it but someone else will chime in.

It has been done some but is not purely bolt on. People that do it seem to be happy but many others say it's not worth the extra effort. You could probably also sell the 6 speed for a decent sum if it's in good shape.
