    hello everyone, I had a question about converting the I Shift to a regular manual. Is there anyway to swap it out add a pedal and make it a manual?

    I didnt mean thats all you gotta do. Im sure there is a whole lot to it. I know the Eaton Ultrashift can be done, how about I Shift?

    The Eaton is basically a manual tranny with an x y shifter and computers bolted on. An iShift was never based on a manual, I believe your only option would be to remove it entirely and install a manual transmission.

    Can it be done........Sure.

    But why would you want to throw money away? You would be better off selling or trading it in.

    Thats what I wanted to know.. Can it be done. My only fear is it tanking on me and Iv heard they are so expensive. Believe me, I love the transmission, but I definatly do not want to drop 15k for a new one

    The I Shift is an automated manual transmission.

    As far as taking it out and replacing it with a manual, I'd say you will be much further ahead to buy a truck with a manual transmission. Keep in mind the ECU for the transmission trumps the ECU for the engine. That is a can of worms I wouldn't want to open.
