I am currently putting a pushbutton trans in an early dodge truck. I was not familiar with this swap before I started and tracking down the individual pieces is a pain and its EXPENSIVE. I've got most all of what I need now but If I had to do it all over, I would have bought a car with everything as you stated. It would have been much easier and cheaper. All that aside, its way cool. Anybody can bolt in a ratchet shifter. Other thing to keep in mind is that when you call for anyparts, (overhaul kit, valvebody pieces, torque converter) it helps to know the year of your trans, and you must make it clear to your parts taker exactly what you have or you will get standard torqueflite parts.
