Sounds like your truck just needs a new flex plate, and some clean up work on linkage. Then your truck is still on the road. Your son needs a new transmission, if he can afford a corvette he can afford to buy a new trans on line that is beefed up. Give your son 500.00 towards his repair bill to help him out and you will be way ahead financially in the long run.

Doing the conversion on your truck to stick, doing it yourself will still set you back 750.00 to 1800.00 depending on the price of parts.

I did the 3spd to 4spd conversion. Trans and bellhousing, and high hump, 100.00 on craiglist. New drive shaft, 500.00. New clutch 125.00. Misc parts 75.00. Paying friend to help with heavy work, 60.00.
