Hey guys im picking up this 2000 dodge durango for 2800$, real nice suv, it has the 3rd row seats, it also has the 5.9L V8 but its automatic, and i was wondering where i could find a manual transmission for it with that also has 4x4, ive looked around but couldnt really find anything

 

The Durango's never came with a manual transmission. If you want one you will have to find a Dakota around the same year and do a custom swap. There are a few around that have done it tho.

BTW i seen that same truck posted on our local CL... would you happen to be in PA also?

 

Yes I live in palmyra pa, the truck is in York I found a couple others but I like this one because it has the 5.9

 

You will not be able to use the manual tranny from a dakota if you have a 5.9. You will have to do a custom manual tranny install using a manual tranny for the 5.9 that will come from a full size HD ram truck.

A user here did the swap and posted his pics in this forum and enjoyed the use of a manual.

 

Which tranny is the one that come with the 5.9 HD ram trucks is it the nv3500 or the nv4500 I'm not sure

 

If I remember, he used the NV3500. do a search in this forum for manual tranny. You should find the post from the user that did the conversion. The pics he posted looked good.

 

Here is the link to know more about the conversion to a manual
