VT_Maverick's 5 Speed Swap

[Buffy]

The ECU from the 98 or 99 Trooper is what you need. The trans can come from a 98 or later. I currently have a spare 5 speed swap sitting at my shop I am toying with selling. Was going to use it to build the black VX that went to Tom. I have an AR5 with 63K miles, the computer and flywheel that I am thinking about selling. Still hadn't decided if I would install in my silver VX. But should I sell it I would be asking 1000.00 for it all. I also have the manual gas lines to go with it. Very handy item to have for this install, trust me I know.

I decided to keep looking for a Trooper.

Question...the Trooper exhaust, can it be from an Auto, or does it have to be manual?

I believe its supposed to be the manual version.

I've collected all the info I can find on components at my VXWiki. I'm eventually going to piece this together.

Your wiki says that it has to be an OEM clutch setup. I have an Exedy clutch setup in my 5MT and it works just fine. Just an FYI there are other feasible options available.

Good to know of other options. Would you have any more information (i.e. part#, etc.) on that Exedy clutch?

I would!

Since it came out of a Trooper, I'd assume it is this one:

http://www.carid.com/1998-isuzu-troo...m-7955070.html I see it on eBay for $500 and cheaper, so I would *def* search for a better price.

When I purchased the used Trooper, the orig. owner advised that the clutch job had been done w/in 4-5 months, so I didn't replace it. I did, however, replace the t/o bearing and pilot bearing, which come in the aforementioned kit.

I used a NSK Pilot Bearing (P/N W0133-1631634)

and I also replaced the throwout (release) bearing with a Sachs unit (P/N W0133-1608860).

The above-referenced site has the least expensive price for the Sach's unit. Every other place I checked was north of $100. They got both parts to me w/in 2 days, as well.
