After a search I see a few have asked but not any real answers. I want to swap my 02 auto to a manual. Has anyone done this? I dont want to get a different Jeep. I have no problem bolting in a nv3550 but what electical changes are actually needed, a different computer  Can I realy get this done for less than $2000? Any help is much appreciated.

The Auto is a stronger transmission for towing. I'd take an auto any day over a manual. Why do you want to switch? |

 Good answer................................  I wish I could help you answer your question. But I'm sure someone (tjkj2002) might be able to chime in. Best of luck getting it done!

best would be just find a wrecked KJ with a manual and get everything from it, PITA to do , last one I did was a 68 El Camino and it was a bear to get everything I needed |

Christopher, you may want to trade in your 2002 for a 2006, as it might be the easiest. I don’t think Jeep made the manual trany in 2007 but I could be wrong. |

There is a Liberty in the Dallas craigslist with a manual tranny for $650. But it might cost a little more to get it up there to Michigan. I posted a link to it in the CL eBy finds section a week or so ago. |

Like I said I am keeping this jeep. I figured everyone would just say buy one with a manual. If I can do this for under 2g than it would be a lot cheaper than buying a 06 if you know what I mean. |

If yours is stock, it would be 10x easier to just trade it straight across for another KJ with a stick. A lot may go for that, since an auto trans will be easier to move. |

Mine is not stock. I found one in tx that didnt have specifics but I could not find the one for 650 bucks. |

could always buy and switch your things over, you can buy manual ones way cheaper than autos, plus its going to be a PITA to switch everything over |

Here is the thread. The CL posting is still up, so I'd assume it is still available. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hlight=650 |
