You better take some pictures and share the info!

 

In fact if you did a complete write up it would be greatly appreciated

 

heck i would love to swap my rango to a 5 spd manual...

 

srch4me: Go for it and u will not be sorry USA is a very big country and 5 speed manual is great for free way driving.

 

I've got a 1998 Durango 4x4 with the 5.9 Magnum. After reading this, I still had a few questions, like well the t-case interchange between the 46RE and AX15?

 

We decided to pull a commercial 2 ton truck over a steep hill and auto trans started I picked up a manual trans from my local junk yard off of a 5.2l 2wd dodge Dakota and now I'm halfway done swapping it out just need to swap out pedals

 

I already did the swap in my 2000 Durango and it was pretty easy new flywheel prebleed clutch I still have my original ECM and it runs fine

 

My 99 RANGO 5” lift and 33x12.5x15’s look great. Twin turbo Bored over 360 w 20/40lb dual rate wastegate is freaking scary but axle destroying scary. 5 speed swap first looking at Tremec transmissions for custom build? Then address axles and transfercase.
Thanks for your post on the build eh
(fyi I am now thinking of changing my lift and doing a 1500 IRS front end graft to utilize bigger drive line)frame rail on Rangos are almost same width as 1500’s eh Then parts search is factory Dodge not aftermarket Tuff Truck who may discontinue the lift for the ol 1 gens eh Sorry for babbling just love the Rango’s eh
