boot to suit gearbox and transfer case.
MAYBE new crossmember for gearbox if auto is different
console if you want.

I think thats it mate.. may have missed one or two bits..

Its a big job but may be worth it. Isnt it possible to have your tranny rebuilt and an extreme valve job to it??

TOM

personally i would keep the auto i have one and would never go back to a manual i just got the extreme valve body fitted to mine and i also need a rebuild that will come when i get some cash but yea keep the auto probably be cheaper and alot easier

Just looking at ways to get a GQ with auto problems down to Brisbane from mt Iza.Was thinking off using my comp truck's manual gearbox to drive it down here.But there seems to be to much to do.Will check car carriers tommorow for pricing and or wreckers for second hand Auto box.Just bought a 91 ti petrol 4.2 on ebay for $4200.Pity its at Mt Iza.There is always some catch.Cheers.

sounds pretty good have a look at trains as well for transport

Will do.Cheers.

You could always get a set of eyebolts and an a-frame and tow it all the way back yourself . You'd need two drivers and alot of patients though.
