Is there a transmission swap write-up?

[Arnie897]

I have a few Q's here...

Has anyone done a write up on how to swap an Auto transmission to the Mazda 5-speed on a 2nd gen Explorer with the OHV engine?

Will the 1st gen explorer's parts bolt in as easily as a second gen would? Dust cover, floor plate, etc...

I'm looking to buy a wrecked explorer with a manual tranny and swap all nessesary parts into my 97. I've already discovered JoshC's thread with the parts needed along with Bone's questions about the SOHC manual swap and I still have not found all the info I'm looking for.

I did a swap from an auto to a manual in my navajo. I know the years are different, but it still might be helpful. You'll find my information in the thread by way of search option. Hope this helps. Let me know any questions.
