| I was just wondering how hard it would be to change out my sureshift transmission in my 2001 freigthliner century. I want to change to a 13 speed. What will be involved. |

I do beleive it is a meritor. Is it difficult to change autos to a manual? Just wondering if it would be more work than its worth. |

In the case of an auto shift, they simply added an electronically controlled shift bar housing (x-y shifter/top cover) and an ecu connected to the engine controller through a data link.
Does this have a clutch pedal?
What's currently wrong with it? |

What year of vehicle? The starter has nothing to do with the sureshift trans. |
