Looking to buy a baja, auto to manual trans swap

Post by WillGT »

Hey all, new here.
I sold my Wrangler last week, been looking at the Bajas and think I am very interested in buying one.
However I have been finding it hard to find them especially in Atlanta. Most are very high mileage or very high priced.
I did find one that interests me today, its an 03 with 120,000 miles auto trans for $6400. Seems pretty reasonable so far.
My budget is around $8000 b/c thats all I got for my Jeep.

I have driven though a Manual trans since I started driving and really don't like automatic anymore. Just curious to see, how much do you all think an auto to manual trans swap will run? and where would be the best place to find a transmission? Are they the same as the outback transmissions?
