Manual swap
96 f150 2wd 4.9 300
went mudding yesterday and blew my tranny. Kinda been wanting to throw a manual in it for a while so I think this all be the perfect time. What specifics am I looking for this swap?I found a 95 f150 2wd 4.9 with the 5 speed in it. Is it compatible? Will it just bolt right up? What all do I need to grab off of the 95?

you need to grab everything the trans touches, plus all the clutch stuff. best thing would be to get the two trucks in the same place, this way you will have everything you need on hand without running back for missing parts.

Why not just run the '95?
You mud in a 2wd truck? Not time to find a 4x4?
And, finally, if I was going to the trouble of a swap, I would look for a ZF5 out of a F250.

He's got a '96 truck. Engine is basically the same but wiring and ECU is very different

Did you really or did you maybe just knock an electrical connector off? What symptoms does the trans exhibit… slipping with a lot of smoke or a sudden loss of forward gears and a check engine light?
