Manual tahoe

Has anyone ever converted their tahoe to manual? I really want to convert mine wonder what it will take thanks. My trucks a 4.8l 2wd with no floor console so lots of room for a shifter. Thanks

Re: Manual tahoe

I'm sure a bunch of people have done a similar body style truck conversion which is where I would start my reasearch.

I think it would be like any other manual swap though. Hang a clutch pedal, install slave cylinder, run line, install transmission and make shifter fit.

i'm probably missing a couple hundred things but you get it.

Re: Manual tahoe

I think you also need a computer from a manual vehicle as well. If I remember right the RPM's are held to 500 when you push the clutch in.
