I'm looking to acquire a 98 fld that has a 10 speed transmission. Is it even possible to have it changed over to a 13 speed? If so what else is necessary for it to be right?
I'm only asking because i heard it being talked about.
Also what is a an high and low estimate
98'10speed change to 13sp

Again I am not a mechanic. Many 9 speeds can be converted to 13. But a 10 speed cannot be converted. You would have to replace the trans if you wanted to go from a 10 speed to a 13

Anything is possible. A 13 is longer I'm pretty sure so you'd need to have your drive shaft shortened. Also if you just plan to purchase a 13 without a like core expect to pay a large chunk of change

Excuse my ignorance but I thought I could get away with a couple generic question to see what my limitation are but. Now I know I can poop can the 10 to 13 conversion and just aim for a 13 speed or plan on having one installed.so now the research for that .
I don't have a model to give you since I'm only in the research stages and haven't acquired anything just yet.
Thanks for clearing this up for me guys .wish me luck. -
you can put a 13 speed in, your have to change the entire transmission you cant convert a 10 to a 13. and shorten the driveshaft. plenty dooable its just money. lol

Personally I'd just run the 10 speed until it craters and then put a 13 in.
