ATTN!!!! 5 SPEED SWAP W/TOD DONE!

[LiquidVX]

Have we been trolled?

[LiquidVX]

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.

The TOD functions just as it did with the AUTO...

...From the first post...

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...

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!

I guess we'll soon find out. I'm heading down the local junk yard to pull a 5 speed trans etc. today.

Great. Keep us posted with pics and info.

[RamAirZ]

Ya for sure, your grabbing a 98 + AR5 from a Trooper right?

[jdm monkey]

Bad news... no AR5 only a MM5. But I got the clutch pedal and brake pedal, master slave, clutch hard lines etc.

[RamAirZ]

MM5? You mean MUA5? Did you snatch all that stuff from a Rodeo?

[jdm monkey]

I looked at the firewall plate and it said: Transmission: MM5
Yeah I snatched it from a Rodeo.

[RamAirZ]

ok that's just the transmission option code, not the actual transmission. That should be a Borg Warner trans with code MM5, what year was the truck? RNK should be the code for the AR5.
