95 5 speed swap, almost done what else do I need?

[Ironjet]

Hey all, I’ve been in the middle of swapping my 4l60e for a nv3500. (95, 305. 4x4)
I used a 98 5 speed with the internal slave. So far I’ve put about 6K miles on it , this has been with the ecm from the auto still installed . It runs ok , but it’s not great. I’ve got the egr and knock sensor listed for the manual transmission , and the ecm with the right chip is on its way
Is there anything else that’s 5 speed specific that I need to change?

Where did you buy the ECM and chip for the 305 manual combo?

I bought the ecm from rock auto, the chip I bought on eBay, however the 4l60e computer has different connectors than the manual computer. That’s what I get for not doing enough research

I did end up putting the new egr valve on , and between that and a new fuel filter it runs fine on the stock computer

my next purchase will be an OBD1 scanner for sure though

You currently have the 16197427 PCM. It can have a manual chip burned for it. I suggest reading up on www.gearhead-efi.com and learn how to do it yourself, it's pretty simple to turn off the auto trans features and codes.

Did you use a seperator plate between the block and flywheel?

Any chance you can hone in on what thread that was?

Hello guys! A newbie from overseas - you got a great forum here! I don't want to open a new tread since a lot already have been discussed here and elsewhere. I am also considering a 5 speed swap (nv4500) on my 1995 K2500 Sierra (350, 4l80e) as a future project. I just wanted to ask - do I really need to buy the ECM for a 5 speed truck, or as you wrote here the engine will still run with the original ECM ? Thanks in advance, Miki
