Manual Transmission mod, ever been done???

What you are looking for is a MUA5.

That was in the 97+ Manual Amigo/Rodeo/Troopers.

It will bolt right up to the motor, and then you just need to rework the pedals, driveshafts(?), and other associated devices.

Good luck.

Thank you SIR!!

Now I can start brainstormin it together in my head and decide if I really want to loose the TOD. It's pretty nice to have on my twisty dirt road. Maybe I'll disable it and see how much it pushes in the turns.

Thanks Locomigo

Another consideration... When you convert to the MUA5 (integrated t-case BTW, not divorced as the automatic is), that opens up the option for Tera-Low gears into the case.

Also something for the guys that are wheeling more and more and modding their rigs significantly.
Getting a t-case from an auto, would allow for the Tera Lows for you too, and the TOD does loose its advantages once you go slapping in a front locker (non-selectable), hubs, or any number of other mods.

Food for thought.

It'll push Just disconnecting the TOD won't do much, because you'll still have all that extra mass, and the parasitic drag from those spinning bits. Lose all that, and it should rotate pretty well...does a fair job of it in dirt as it sits... would be nice to get a bit on pavement too. Loco is dead nuts on, in his suggestion. The 4x4 Rodeo stick is the plug an' play option, I want more grunt(and i get access to some pretty cool wrecks) so I'm thinkin' in a different direction. In my case the answer is probably buy another car, and leave this one alone. Like my eleventh grade redhead girlfriend... I just can't find anything as pretty... without spending 70,000 (then you don't wanna drive the damn thing; just bought, fixed and sold a 06 Turbo Carrera and only put maybe 200 miles on it) She is still here too...no engine transplant- no third pedal conversion.
