87 YJ
I'm looking at an '87 YJ for a project jeep. (I already own a '93 that
I drive everyday.) It's a 6 cyl., but it has an automatic. How much
trouble would it be to swap out the auto for an AX-15? Or some other
manual that would work more easily?
I don't know if it has the NP207 or NP231. Would this make a
difference?
Also, are aftermarket upgrades as readily available for the '87 as they
are for the later years? I looked a little in catalogs and seemed to
notice a lot of parts offered for CJs and '88 and later YJs, but not
for the '87.
Thanks everybody

Re: 87 YJ
It is all explained on the Advance Adapters web site,
http://advanceadapters.com, and in their Jeep Conversion Manual, which costs
$10 and is worth every penny. You don't have to buy the parts from them,
but their literature is a big help in identifying what is what.

Re: 87 YJ
I guess the question i should really ask is: has anyone done a similar
transfer, Auto to manual, and was it more trouble than it's worth? I
haven't bought the Jeep yet so I'm wondering if I should just say
forget it and keep looking for a five speed.
