While my truck is apart I really want to swap from an auto to a manual. Being a HUGE jeep guy, I know the in's and out's of all manual transmissions and transfer cases. I have a line on a SM465/NP205 along with a manual bellhousing, clutch pedal, linkage, and even the cross member. It seems the only thing I have to line up is a new manual flywheel and clutch kit. Those are easily picked up at a local auto parts store. Does anyone have any pictures of their manual linkage? I'm looking for pictures under the truck. The area where the linkage comes together is of much concern.
The only thing I can't seem to find is a manual steering column! There's plenty of automatic ones out there but nothing manual. Do any of you guys who have swapped from manual to auto have anything? A tilt is always a plus but not really necessary! And I have regular wipers and no cruise. My truck is an '84 and believe the column year split is around '84. Can anyone help me out with that one? I'd just like to be able to plug in my harness into the ignition switch down on the base of the column.
One of these days I'll have to get some pictures of my K20 up here...the only problem is that my truck in Jacksonville, Fl, and I'm in Maine! I'm actually part hoarding right now! I have a full interior in my garage along with two new gas tanks, sending units, and some bed panels too! My wife says I have a problem because my truck is 1400 miles away! I'll worry about that later!
And oh yeah...it did snow! 18 inches of fluffy stuff here Maine last night! Good thing I bought that snow blower!
