99 Explorer Sport Automatic to Manual

[Jason Staggs]

Howdy folks I was wondering what transmission I could get to do the swap and what cuts or parts of my interior I would need to remove any links are appreciated to other threads or anything my only peve is that I don't want a 5 speed I need a 6 speed sorry I just prefer 6 speeds thanks again

A manual 6 speed? Nope.your options are m5od if you have the ohv v6, or m5od-hd if you have the sohc v6. Yeah, they're both 5 speeds.
Why do you need a 6 speed?

I have the Sohc so I'll be getting the m5od-hd looks like

And I wanted a 6 because I saw one forum about a guy swapped his tranny for a 6 speed from mustang and it had a 6th gear of I think .64 so it would be a great OD and give a pretty sweet boost to mpg

What engine comes in front of that trans in the mustang? Because if you swap the engine too, you could have that trans you want.

I'd rather keep my engine because I just dropped 1500 on a new engine cause mine exploded and I couldn't get a different one around here
