VT_Maverick's 5 Speed Swap

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).
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...3-1608860.html

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.

Awesome! I'll add this info to the Wiki! Good to know we have more options than just (expensive) OEM parts.

I would!

Also, Just a note to anyone that is interested in adding/updating info on the wiki, it is open to anyone. But to keep it clean, you will have to sign up for an account (like any other major wiki) to add/edit/update.

Well I found the kit you mentioned for $600 at another place, but ended up going with the KIS06 kit that the Exedy website suggested going with. It was $465 at RockAuto.com
