ANSWER: Hello Richard. Well, before we go any farther, I would recommend a car swap. Isuzu Troopers and Rodeo's are big money pits. Although you can swap your manual tranny for an automatic if desired. I will search around on the internet for some good deals for you ok? we will get you goin in no time ok?

QUESTION: Thanks for the info.
If you find a 5-speed tranny thats the way id like to go...
Since rodeos and troopers have the same 3.2LTR engine ,is a swap possible?
I await your advice for looking around for me..


Answer
The 5-speed swap is possible it looks like, but at a high price Richard. Your looking at right about 1,300.00 for a complete transmission. Have you thought about having the other one rebuilt? I have a rebuilt transmission and it performs flawlessly everday and it has a 3 year warranty. Although A good place to look is at Ebay.com or Orielly's. please don't worry Richard we will get you goin ok?
