manual swap

Alrighty I’ve been gathering information left and right for the past year or so about an auto to manual transmission swap. I have a 95 xlt with the electronic shift transfer case and the crummy 4r55e, I’ve recently picked up a 5speed manual from a 99 ranger 4x4 (4.0 ofc). I’m sure this...

Hello, I just completed an auto to manual trans swap on an 02 explorer sport. It works great now... mostly. The speedometer and odometer does not work anymore (it did before). I was under the impression it derived the signal from the transfer case or rear axle, not the transmission? Any one...

The Tennessee hills have finally killed my a4ld. I am taking the leap and swapping in a 5 speed. I have gotten everything the threads say I need except for the computer, pedals, and the transmission it self. The problem I am having is the yards I have talked to in my town have to get a...
