manual

I'm going to convert my auto locking hubs to manual ones, but I'm having trouble finding any conversion kits. The way I understand it the kit has the special tool I need to torque the bolts. It's a 94 XLT 4.0 L Automatic

Is it compatible to switch over from auto controls to manual?

Hi I need a manual transmission for my project. 4.0 4x4. Does anyone NOT have it? eBay 0 I'm already desperate.

So I've seen and lurked plenty of first gen v8 swap threads but I had an interesting/dumb idea. I managed to get my hands on a 5.2L V8 from a Grand Cherokee that I've yet to take a good look into the internals but know for a fact it runs well, and wondering how much of a pain/fun time it would...

I have a 93 explorer sport 5speed that’s been randomly stalling out while driving. Driving down the road it loses all throttle and then will die, almost like it’s out of gas. I’ve replaced the fuel pump, filter and pressure regulator and done new plugs and wires. I’m at a loss, I thought it fuel...

Hi All, I have been utilizing the forum as a resource for years now but haven't posted anything to this point. I first of all want to say how much of a help and a resource this forum has been and I feel like I should at least contribute something to the forum after years of using it! In any...

I opened the S/C bleeder screw and did not get any fluid flow, just the occasional small bubble. I removed the bleeder screw thinking it might be clogged. Found this clumpy white stuff clogging it up, and slowly coming out of bleeder screw port. I finally got fluid flow and went to put bleeder...

Hi All. Was gifted a high mileage (210k) but garage kept 94 Sport RWD w. Manual Trans. Looking for some advice on maintaining and improving such a beautiful high mileage machine. I'm partial to the stock look of it so lift kits etc aren't my thing. Mostly for city driving and occasional...

Hey All, So I've got a 1998 Explorer Sport 5 speed manual 106k miles. It's got an X in the vin so I believe it's the OHV v6. I purchased it at 104k and its ran fine since then. Recently it has started stalling out on start. It'll rev high and then drop to a stall. If I wait a few seconds and...

Hey, I've recently purchased a 97 Explorer Sport with a manual transmission and 4wd. However, the manual transmission needs to be replaced. What I want to know is if I can go to a junkyard and rip out a manual transmission from a RWD Explorer and use it in my 4x4 Explorer. Thanks in advance!

I've got a 4.0 SOHC engine out of a 2001 Explorer Sport XLT (2wd, 4 door, auto), and I'm about to attempt to put it into my '94 Explorer Sport (2wd, 2 door, manual). Will it even work? If so, what pointers would anyone have to offer? Thanks in advance.

To follow up with my recent spam of posts I've been considering this swap since I got my X. I would like to hear from others about what they did and the parts used and the budget and time frame and any complications they came across. I know I need a transmission pedal assembly master and slave...

Hello, I had gotten a few requests from other threads I posted to write up a thread on my swap. I didnt intend to do a detailed swap so I do not have many pictures but I hope this helps someone! I bought an 02 explorer sport, from what i have read and what I have seen the sport is the same as a...

I have performed a swap from a 5R55W Auto Transmission (Stock 2006 Ford Explorer Auto) to a M05D-R1HD Manual (From Ford Ranger). The new manual transmission has a VSS in the tail housing has 12-holes. The stock OSS from my auto had 24-holes. I've adjusted the "number of holes in OSS" in my SCT...

I just aquired a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport XL manual 4.0 OHV with 135,000 miles for $700! Sounds like a good deal right?! Well after we got it up in the air I found it was road hard and put away wet.

I have a 1996 manual transmission Explorer, 4.0 L with almost 150,000 miles. I love having a stick shift explorer, but I've been experiencing engine problems since almost the time I bought it a year ago. I thought I resolved this issue a while ago, after I took my car for a rough idle. I had...

Hey everybody, I'm new to this forum and just recently acquired a 2002 Ford Explorer XLS 5-speed with about 118k on it. As it sits now it is bone stock, it used to be my dad's daily driver. I am currently working on fixing it up, I plan on doing big things with it! I just bought a whole new...

I have been attempting to repair my power seats in my 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition. I am really stuck on this and am asking for help. My wife and teenage daughter need to share the car, but the driver's power seat is jammed. The motor so far seems OK - but the seat moves very slowly, and...

So guys the time has come where my on the fly transfer case motor has died. Went to go play in the mud today and went to drop her in 4wd and nothing happened. Checked both fuses and the 15 amp fuse under the dash had popped, replaced it and nothing. I was eventually going to convert to the...

Recently bought a 92 Eddie Bauer and a 94 Limited. Both automatics with elec-4x4s. Pulled the engine of the Eddie and tore it down to rebuild and put into my 92 XLT. My friends and I have been deburring and porting the heads and block. Also honed the cylinders and are currently working on...

So I've got a 94 Ranger 4.0 OHV with the 5 speed manual transmission. Recently it has been kind of difficult to shift. Sometimes everything will shift smoothly, other times it can be difficult. 1st, 2nd, and Reverse are the hardest to get into, generally, requiring what seems like a lot of force...

i got a 2003 ford explorer sport trac xls MANUAL 5 speed. any suggestions on how to remove the ugly solid rubber gear shifter?

I had a 91 Sport 5-Speed for a little while, but never had to roll-start it. It just started every time I turned the key. My current POS would actually be bearable if I could rollstart it. It can't be roll started and I found that out the hard way. I thought anything manual could be, but...
