Even if it's not, it costs like half of what replacing the automatic would. Sounds like a quality upgrade.Originally Posted by spitfire5454

He must have sworn them all to secrecy.Or maybe had them all sign NDAs so he can start selling 5-speed swap kits here.

I would think the rodeo one would work. The bellhousing and flywheel is the same so you could use an MUA5 from say a 98' Rodeo and delete TOD and get some Tera-Low's. I also don't see why the 93-97's wouldn't work as they also use the same flywheel. There is a guy with a turbocharged pup' running a 2wd MUA5 putting down over 300hp at the tires, so it should be able to hold it. The AR5 is rated at 260 ft/lbs but they also come in the Solstice and the base Mallet Solstice with the stock LS2 conversion retains the AR5 transmission, so it should be able to handle anything the 3.5 can throw at it unless your gonna order parts from Australia and boost the pee out of it! I talked to Mallet about the AR5 in the past and they said with 400hp/400ft/lbs from the LS2 on nice street tirres they never ran into any issues but weren't sure how well it would handle sticky tires and launching at the track. For our use and power even with a blower I think we would be fine. Nice swap! I'm thinking of swapping to an MUA5 later on, but most likely with an engine swap unless I can find a supercharger.

Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

Whats going on here? BM drops an atom bomb of a story with enough details to make it totally believable. A meet is scheduled... then nothing. Nobody is saying anything? Sorry but I am dying to hear and see more.

That sucks, but it seems totally possible. If anything a 5-spd swap is easily done, just no TOD.
Super VXer
...From the first post...
Super VXer
I meant by swapping in an MUA5 with integral transfercase. The TOD function seems to be the only issue that I see people worried about. If the TOD case does indeed bolt up to the AR5, then I don't see why it couldn't function as normal. I know the MUA5 had an integral case so it could not maintain the TOD since it didn't come with it. But if people just want a manual transmission, it should be fairly straight forward. That's what I was getting at, sorry

Guess I wasn't able to grasp all that from the sentence posted earlier...my bad...
Super VXer
Ya my bad, I thought by "if anything" meant, at least to me, that just a 5spd swap is possible but may not have TOD. But now we know, and knowing is half the battle haha. I'm planning an MUA5 swap at some point. I'd like to have 2wd for around town and to be better on the CV's and what not. Also swap in some lower t-case gears. Then I can get a 4wd high function too.

The TOD is what has me all jazzed up!ATTN!!!! 5 SPEED SWAP W/TOD DONE!
