I got to thinking how much I miss shifting a manual transmission. I started thinking about how I could make my a/t shift when I want it. I did some quick searching and came across this Master Shift site Paddle Shifters, Sequential and Electronic - ASaP
I was wondering if our transmissions have a external shift lever and if this setup would work? Is there other products like this? I guess they also make a m/t conversion. anyone know anything about this kind of thing??? Any cheaper way of doing this with a a/t?

 

why?

 

Swap your auto for a manual transmission would be easier

 

good idea but sounds difficult, i say go for it if it will work!

 

Sounds like it would kinda cool, But I'm not sure you could do it though.

 

Well it looks to me like the starting price is $2K plus/minus a bit. If you have the time, money and talent to install it.
And you think it's worth it, just to have something different, then I say go for it.
The info sheet says if you have questions, call and ask. That's what I'd do first.

 

I say do a manual tranny swap... much better idea

 

if i had the cash i'd do it, just cuz i have yet to see a ranger yet with paddle shift

 

If the manual in Rangers was any good I'd agree.

 

Does anyone know if there is even an external shift lever on our transmissions?

 

there is the cable runs down and connects on the drivers side to the trans lever
