i have this feelin that my tranny is going to go in the near future and i ahve an automatic now, i would like to switch it to manual, but i wanted to see if anyone new about how much people charge for that if its more or less than getting a new tranny. thanks

 

well youd have to get a new tranny in the first place. then youd have to find somebody that would be able to do all the work necessary.

i say look around, find some prices then come back. i think youll be much happier with a manual, especially if you do offroading. i know i am.

kinda off topic, but why dont you make a signature and list some things about your truck. that would help us a little more.

 

i think itd be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much work...because most likely ur going to have to do things with your computer cut a hole in your floor.....

 

There is allready a hole in the floor. Every Ranger from the dawn of time has them Auto or Manual doesnt matter.

Computer would just need to be A: Reprogramed B: Replaced by one from a vehicle with the same specs as your new one.

 

Its alot of work... not saying it cant be done.. but alot of work.
what about driveshaft length... are they the same?

 

^^^depends on if you want overdrive or a gear splitter. i think the manual may be a bit shorter but im probably wrong.

 

i will check it out and try to get back to you guys hopefully it istn too difficult

 

id get ur trans rebuilt. swapping to a manny tranny plus purchase price would be the same if not more than rebuild ur trans. dont forget u need to run a clutch assemly, add a master cylinder and take care of the ECU.

Altoona, eh...whats up fellow PA'r =-D

 

yeah thats all true thansk for the input
