Manual Transmissions on a 1500 - 10/14/17
Does anybody know what the last year was Chevy/GMC offered a manual transmission in a 1/2 ton pickup?
Side note, how difficult would it be to put a manual in an early 00's Chevy 1500?
Aside from my other projects going on, I am looking forward to the future. My wife's current 06 1500 has been uber, and I'm likely to bequeath it to my son, and would like to find a manual to give her to replace it. Problem being, they really don't make such a thing anymore. Unfortunately. So I was wondering if a guy could get ahold of an early 00's Chevy without the traction assist bullchit, could he get a mechanic to shoehorn in a manual or am I tilting at windmills?
As for the Ford/Japanese emperor brands arguments I'm bowing out. Looking strictly at Chevy's and possibly Dodges if they kept the manual as an option longer than GM.
Thank you,
Jason
