[QUOTE="SirDoopYJ, post: 427204, member: 19139"] I have a 1993 4.0L, I assume 3 speed, automatic. I was looking patiently for a manual, but it seems they were non existent and the automatic I found was too huge of a deal to pass up since I was also looking for one with the 4.0L, which also seems was non existent. I have never driven a manual before, but I have always been interested in learning. I have read that some people feel connected with their vehicle and that it is a great feeling. My Jeep is not a daily driver, I will maybe commute it an hour back and forth from work every once in awhile. I also drive it on the weekends to run errands. I do plan on taking it on alot of trails starting off with beginner trails and later on maybe to more intermediate trails. The auto transmission works just fine and I still enjoy the hell out of this Jeep. I feel I got really lucky on the deal. My question is will it be worth it to do a swap? About how much will it cost? What other components need to change besides just the transmission? Can an automatic YJ still perform just as well as a manual on the trails? Is there much difference in torque that would be necessary to have? If there really isn't a difference in performance or handling on the trails I will probably not worry about it depending on cost and labor. This will also be one of the last things I do to my Jeep during my restoration process and will be years from now down the road. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
