Transmission swap

I am considering swapping my automatic 4R100 for a manual ZF 6. The truck is a 2002 F250 4x4. The question I have is if you have any advice orifice you have done this yourself. Thanks for any help you can give.

It is possible but you would probably be better off going with a built transmission from BTS.

I have no clue who BTS is. I do know I want to swap out for a manual transmission. Is there any other manual transmissions you all would suggest I should look at? I know the swap is going to cost, and be painful. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. Thanks.

BTS is a bullet proof auto transmission built by Brians Truck Shop. Since you really want the hand shaker I would suggest that you look for a doaner truck that you can scavanage all the pieces and parts from then hopefully sell some of the rest of the truck part by part to recoup some of your $$. IIRC even the PCM is different.
