I probably shouldn't post this since I already posted something similar on another post but I haven't seen too much here regarding one performing an automatic transmissions swaps or auto to manual transmission conversion and what that entails. I found lots of helpful suggestions (like getting 700R4's although they can be a pain in the ass or the manual T56 kit etc), getting gears for the rear differential but not many technical details. I presume this is due to the fact that it should be done professionally. Has anyone done an auto-to-auto tranny swap? What about auto to man conversion? How much of a difference is there (other than the fact obvious that it's auto and manual) between the 700R4 and t56. (aka how would I benefit having one other the other or what can I expect is along the lines of what I'm looking for.
If I get a 700R4 or a T56 (or any other performance-geared tranny), I assume that I also need to upgrade or change the rear gear differential. Ideally I'll want to scarifice my top speed for a better accel, which suggests that I should get higher gears but I don't know all of the gear ratios available for this vehicle. More importantly, I don't want to get a gear that will not perform well with the new transmission. (So whats a good gear for each type of transmission) I am however confused on the whole 'rear-end' deal. The rear end is the following correct? (rear from top) Gear box (to so speak) = џ Left Tire Ξ|----џ----|Ξ Right Tire (to front) It's the part between both tires, the shaft, plus X-Bolt device [where the gears are] in the middle right? (yes, I am a straight up newb..) Why would one need to upgrade the rear end? If you're going to get new gears, I presume that will also come with the housing portion right Or not necessarily? And where is the posi device on the rearend? Like, does it have to do with the way the whole bar is setup or is that contained within the gear holding apartus?
