Alright, call me dumb but I love a nice project. I bought a 2008 1500, V6 with the 6 speed manual (Getrag 238) transmission, single cab short bed.
I’m searching for a new transmission (current has bad play in input shaft and bearing noise in 3rd and Reverse) OR a rebuild kit, only to discover parts are not made for these anymore. Should I get a cheap junkyard getrag, or do the 5 speed NV swap? If I do the swap, is there anywhere I can find the brackets that would be need for the different mounting points? And would I need a new driveshaft to fit the NV?
Also, anywhere I could get cheap interior parts? Mainly looking for driver door card and seats. Thanks!
