5 speed swap?

[allxlts]

alright, so after trying so hard to figure out my trans problems, ive decided to say screw it, i like driving stick better.

so, i know i need the trans as well as the clutch parts. i know i need the pedal assembly aswell. my question is, what do i do about the transfercase? i have the "awd, 4wd, 4wl" thing, and i dont know how that AWD parts gonna react with a 5 speed.

second, what am i gonna do about driveshafts? are the transmissions the same length?

third, im assuming im gonna need the trans crossmember aswell?

thanks for any input guys.

I can see no reason why an AWD transfer case will not operate in the same way with a manual transmission in front of it, as with an automatic. Of course, the T-case must by of compatible mounting to the 5-Speed. imp
