Seriously considering buying a manual to put in my 02 Kj. Does anyone know how compatible they are I know they come in 05&+ kj's, 05&+ wranglers, crossfires, and dodge nitro's. |

As far as I know they have a common bell housing pattern for engines like the power tech 3.7, magnum v8, the wranglers 3.8 minivan motor, and possibly the old mopar v8s like the 318, 360. |

I doubt that version has the same bellhousing as the 3.7 but I could be wrong. What definitely won't fit is the rear of it, the output shaft is going to be wrong and the housing won't bolt up to your transfer case. |

Something else to consider is the NV3500 5 speed manual that earlier KJs had. It would have been an OEM option for your year. The NSG 370 is cool for the fact that it is a close ratio trans...has an extra low first gear like 4.46:1 whereas the 3500 isblike 4.00:1. Also, 5th gear in the nsg370 is direct drive where the 3500 has direct drive 4 th which is more common. speaking only from personal experience here, the low gears and close ratio of the nsg370 make big tires and stock diff gears not impossible. I have 245 75 tires and the stock 3.55 gears in my diffs and I do just fine. Regearing is still pretty necessary, but maybe not as critical an issue as with an auto. |
