manual trans Explorers

[Trainfan]

What year was the last manual trans Explorer?

 

[Hahnsb2]

02 Sports I believe.

Did they make any manual trans Sport Tracs?

^Would be cool as hell, but I've yet to see one and don't remember that option being there when my parents were looking at getting one.

I'm on a quest to find out.

Seems like if the Sport Trac is an RBV it wouldn't be too hard to swap one in...

I'm thinking a 5.0 swap, manual trans. I was just curious about whether the factory ever did a manual or not. I was thinking that as Explorers go, so do Sport Tracs.

Look what I just found! I guess the question is answered.

It's Cake. Exactly like a 01+ Ranger manual swap.





5.0 and manual with a tcase? mkay...good luck. lol. Main reason why I'm not going 5.0...I'd lose my manual trans.

Throw my lifts and axles under it, throw my Fx4 LII interior stuff in it including that twinstick setup, throw a paintjob on it...it'd be tit's!!

5.0 and manual is no problem... You think they didn't make a manual transmission that goes behind the 5.0? They did...

I just found an 02 FX4 LII with twin sticks near my house. I think the Sport Trac project is on hold!

you suck. I had to build my '01 into an '03 Fx4 LII...twinsticks and all.

heads up: if it's an early '02 model, see if it's had it's rear end recall taken care off. Having the rear end blow up on your brand new truck is gonna suck!
