did a quick search, but didn't find anything, but heres my question.
I have a 1991 Ranger, 2.3L with a 5spd manual, that the body is completely shot on. I just picked up another 1991 Ranger, w/ an auto that has low miles, decent body but the tranny is shot.. but hey, I can't complain for $200
How how hard would it be to swap out the auto tranny and replace it with the manual? I'm guessing it would need the tranny/clutch/flywheel, pedal assembly, and the manual steering column (and instrument cluster since I won't need the gear shift indicator). Did Ford use just one wiring harness for these trucks, or are they differant from auto to manual? Would I need to swap out computers? Do they use the same cross members and driveshafts? Anything else I missed?
Both trucks are standard cab, 2wd with short boxes if that matters at all.
I'm hoping this is a simple swap and I really hope to get one of the 2 road worthy soon.
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.
