I know a really smart, good lookin' fella who's company just so happens to reman some of the best manual transmissions out there... Feelin like a drive out to MN? Don't we have some members out there? anyone near Rochester?
My vote is to just have it fixed...still cheaper and easier, as long as the trans is good (hopefully)
Hey Don,If your really going to get rid of that setup let me know, I would be interested in buying it from you. One other thing to consider, can everyone that you plan on letting operate SqD, do they know how to drive a stick if you do convert it? Something to consider! If you are out somewhere and get hurt can the person with you drive the truck?
Love to see it going again. I think going with the manual would be a great idea, from the beginning. Now that the auto is in there, just get it going. Between linkages and drive shafts you would have a new buildup.
If it were mine I would fix the auto, I just paid $600+ for a new rear shaft in the jk. Not to mention the trans issue is probably a half a day fix for a guy who knows what he’s doing & knows which parts to have on stand by. Nothing against you or your mechanics but if they don’t deal with that regularly then you get what I’m saying.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Leave it the way it is and get it running. No need to swap transmission at this point. However if the cost to fix is more than you wish to put on the line, then sell it and look for a new project, like the XJs you want to build. How many headaches have you had since this project started and how many do you think you're going to continue to have whilst fighting the timelines?You can potentially part it out or sell whole and cover the cost of purchasing and most upgrades/fixes on the potential XJs or a new project, or fix Sarge or get something you need down on the farm.

That’s a short list really, suck it up buttercup
Here is a link for a kit for the tranny. Little pricey but you can do it on your own too.https://transmissioncenter.net/shop/47rh-overdrive-made-to-work-without-a-computer-made-for-diesels-without-vacuum/
You know the only person who cares about the excuses you’re making right?
Not negative at all Don....just providing you with the data you need to be a informed pilot. Maybe I should just sell you Anvil LoLBuilt (brand new) Cummins (high nickle IH block/head), New NV4500, New NP 205, 1 Tons, Detroits.......10K+ miles, proven performer, dead reliable...ya could drive it home at 65mph and get 22mpg.
It seemed like it was so close. Admittedly, I didn't read every recent post about it though.I'm a little saddened by that, as square d was what brought me here. If you made that truck a crew cab, it'd pretty much be my dream truck. Lol
Oh, we understand. Lots of stuff on the table for sure.Since you know the issues, maybe let someone look at who plays with things like us and they might see something.
