1999 Transmission work in my 1995?

[1995V6]

Hey everyone,

I am new to the site, and here for some answers. :thumbsup:

I have a 1995 V6 auto, and found a 1999 manual transmission. I am about to buy, but doing some searching first. I am getting everything, clutch, pedals, trans, flywheel etc.

From what I understand their are a few things possibly standing in my way. The speedo, tail shaft and possibly the drive shaft. First the speedo, is there anyway I can covert to the 1999s electronic speedo to my 1995? And do I have to swap the tailshaft/ drive shaft to work on my year?

Any help, write up or incite will help. Really want this to work, but want to have a game plan first.

Please SCHOOL ME!

Thanks!

Might want to check out 3.8forum, do some searches. I'm certain you'll find what you need.

if i recall correctly, you could use a Dallas Extended Range Speedcal to convert the 99-04 speedo signal to the 94-98. but i havent read about that in a long time. this would eliminate the need to swap tailshafts

unfortunantly, not many V6 guys are here. i had an Auto, so i cant be much of help there.

i saw your thread on 3.8, the guy who wrote the article on V6power.net is a moderator on 3.8 as well. i'd send him a pm, i havent seen him post in months

Thanks for your help, hopefully 3.8 forum can help me out even more.

I appreciate your help!

I did kind of the opposite... I put a '94 manual in my '98 auto car. The only major thing I had to change was to wire in the backup-light plug for the new manual transmission, and jumper a couple of wires on the automatic transmission wiring harness.

Also, you will want to get your computer re-flashed to read for a manual (or replace with a computer from a stick-car), otherwise it does some ... odd... things.

1995V6, i didnt realize your original trans was an Auto, the auto tailshaft wont work on the 99-04 manual. you'd have to get a 94-98 manual tailshaft

you coulda just used a manual trans harness and have it plug and play.

Thanks guys. The seller wants to know what I want to do.

So, to recap. Out of the wreaked 99 I need......

I think I can do this, but I do not have a good feeling finding a tailshaft out of a 94-98 manual.

out of the 99.

transmission
clutch/brake pedal assembly
transmission wiring harness
driveshaft.
shifter
clutch kit
flywheel

and get some type of Handheld tuner to get the PCM to act as a manual trans car.

I would've done that if I could have found a '96+ harness. The one in the '94 manual was different enough to not work.

ah, then OP, you will need a 95 trans harness or splice in the wiring to your existing auto harness
