I'm just looking for any 5 speed at the moment. Geo's are like finding 100 dollar bills lying on the ground around here. Looking for a honda or toyota 5 speed to roll in. I had that ZJ looking good and running like a champ too.
damn man, that sucks,






pic?

Dude! 25 is great! If i get to the point of being the only driver in my ZJ again. The daughter's XJ got smashed again. So I let her drive the ZJ until I get all the parts gathered again. So I know your pain of getting your ZJ fixed. Oh, SHE is paying for the parts. I put them on.

Last couple of issues of JP magazine have been explaining using a 6 speed in an older Jeep Comanche pickup. All the trials and troubles making the speedo work and a few other sensors. I'd REALLY like to drop a 6 speed in my ZJ...

93 and a few 94s were the only manual equipped Grand Cherokees. But I imagine I could do better mileage wise with a 6 speed. Shoot, even with just a 5 speed. Not sure how to get the computer to react to a manual... The parts are easy to get. For the 5 speed. The 6 is prohibitively expensive...

I'd like to get a 5 speed. But since I'm selling it, No sense in swapping it.

I've got some pics, but I can't seem to find the USB cord that goes with the camera :/ I'll have to find it first, but I do have pics
