My father purchased a 93, 1500 series from a friend.
His friend had it special ordered from the factory with a 350 and a 5 speed manual trans. Supposedly, he had them take the SS version with the 454 and a 5 speed, and slap in a 350 instead. if that helps to indicate anything.
180,xxx miles and the truck runs great.Until about a week ago. My dad lost 2nd and 4th all together, and the same time.
So he got an estimate on a new trans and the place wanted 1500 for a rebuilt, price including labor. I am hoping they are including a new clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate for this price too.
I am 18, and am currently going to Universal Technical institute. I have great mechanical skills. I would like to help my dad out with his problems, and get the tranny and to the swap for him. I need your help to figure out:
A: Pin point which of the 3(?) 5 speeds it has... B: What they should cost? C: if the trans it self just needs something little done to the inside of it instead of a rebuild
It didn't have any shifting problems what so ever. The only thing i can think of is the fact that the oil may not have been changed in its life time.
Thank you for your time.
