    You need to post your make and model to get quality answers.
    Good luck.

    A more accurate answer will require your transmission model number but here's a vague idea of what might be required:

    At a minimum you'd probably need to replace the auxillary section, part of the air system on the transmission and the shift knob.

    End of the day probably easier to just swap out the whole transmission.

    Depends on what model 9 speed it is, or if it is even a 9 speed and not a 13 speed someone pulled the splitter off or so they didn’t have FNGs crunching the back box

    Depending on which 9 speed you had and which 18 speed you are going to the driveshaft may have to be shortened or lengthened as well.

    Going to an Eaton 18 speed new drive shafts clutch and rebuilt rear ends my trans is shot and the rears have a million on them. I had the motor pulled two years ago and completely rebuilt so now it is time to do the rest. Have owned the truck for 11 years now and don’t plan on getting rid of it.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Just go with new instead of reman, no cores to worry about and and rebuilding the drive shaft isn’t the end of the world
