Transmission question

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

My cousin is looking for another Cherokee, and he wants a manual. He found an auto for a ridiculous price, and wanted to know what was involved in trying to convert it to manual. My question is two-parted:

One: what would need to be replaced/redone to swap in a manual tranny?

Two: I told him just stick with the auto, but he's pretty set on it. Is the labor realy worth the extra pedal?

IMO it's not worth swapping the trans/transfercases, if he really wants a 5spd he should wait for the right deal to come along.

its not worth it at all. Just look for a manual one.

What would need to be swapped or replaced? Just saying it's not worth it doesn't really answer that.

it's more than just putting a pedal and a tranny in, you have to fuck with the ecu and wiring harnesses. zach looked into it and he gave up lol

Thanks, I thought the ECU had to be swapped but I wasn't sure.
