TrailChaser Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I'm planning to convert to a manual tranny since my tranny is going out. I need help from board members who may know of a good deal on a rusted frame pathy. I live in Houston, TX and all the pathies in this area are in good shape. I've heard alot of people talking about the cheap pathies up north because the frame is gone, but auto trader doesn't have but a couple listed. I'm mainly looking for one with a manual tranny, but I may have to settle on a auto if I can't find one. I'm planning to pick the pathy up and bring it back. Thanks for any help, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94extreme Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 a friend of mine has been looking for a car and he said there are a butt load of pathfinders for under 3k all over the place.. good luck finding one with an MT around here though.. very, very few.. i just stumbled onto mine somehow... i can't remember now but for some reason i am thinking mine came from CO anyway. look there.. might be worth a while.

TrailChaser Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 Does anyone know what years will work for the conversion? I'm finding a few 87-89 manuals. I know that if I have to find a replacement auto tranny I'll need either a 94-95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vengeful Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 The early years will work just fine. Transmission is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The speedo sending unit on 94-95's is electronic instead of mechanical, if that helps. I believe the parts swap right out, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
