Hello. Am i a nut to think of this?????

Is it even possible to change the 4 speed automatic trans from a "93 4wd with the 4.0 V6 to a manual trans? I have no clue if its even possible, or how hard.

i dont see how you are crazy since some came from the factry stock with a manual shift ??

It shouldnt be too hard....


PEACE
 






i think it is possible, i think Namity did it. I would also like to do it.
 






It's a tough swap but it has been done before. I know JoshC did it to his 2nd gen. For more info, use the search feature. If you have any questions after that, feel free to ask.
 






thanks all - i don't think i made this clear - its got the automatic trans in it right now - i'd like to put a manual in it

thanks again - i just worded it wrong
 






Just to clarify a little:

Are you talking transmission or transaxle?
 






i'm assuming the transmission - i want a stick-shift
 






I don't think it wold really be that complicated, but it would be very time consuming. As you will have to change your pedals, add in the slave cylinder and master cylinder for the clutch, along with (possibly) cutting a hole in your floorboard for the manual shifter.
Hell, I dunno... maybe that would be complicated... never done it before, so I dunno.
I just know that's a few things I know of off hand. Also, you'd prolly need a new ECM to support the manual tranny instead of one that looks for an auto tranny.
 






sure. you americans are great engineers im sure you could do it. the only experience i have had is the other way around and that dosnt work the auto trans is a lot wider so the space isnt big enough. i would say go for it.
