I've never seen or heard of a later model explorer equipped with a 5 spd until today. Are these common or was it some kind of special order deal?

I don't have the numbers, but i have seen a few of them.

Yeah If the price goes down I would love to get my hands on it haha

'02 was the one and only year for that bodystyle to have a manual, fairly rare.

I have seen a lot of Exploders with a standard trans here in Florida...just don't want one.

If it has the 1 year, odd-ball, only 1000 made, 26 spline clutch w/ dual-mass flywheel, then Yes its rare.


Here's some info:

RSH came up with one of those a while back. Thought maybe it was a South America thing.

This makes me want it even more!!! if The price goes down to around 4k-4.k I'll be all over it haha. It said that only 1000 were made with the 26 spline clutch, but more were made with the 23 spline?? If thats true I hope it has the 23 spline just for the sake of parts availability.

The vast majority of RBVs have used the same 23 spline clutch. It's one of the things that makes some of the part swapping we do so easy.

I want it. Bad.

I know!!! If the price goes down enough, I might be to find a buyer for my truck cuz I listed it a while back but decided not to sell it.

But only if the price drops enough, otherwise, it's just another dream haha

I've heard of them but never seen one in person. After my f-150 was totaled I looked for one for awhile and never could find one so I settled for an '02 Explorer 4x4 AUTO. Was a very good car, gave it to my grandmother when I got my powerstroke, so it's still in the fam
