Transmission auto to manual (another one)

Will a dakota 5 speed from a 2.5L engine work?

Did you buy the custom crossmember or made it(or had it made)?

Sorry didn't see your messages. It has to be a V6 to have the bellhousing that fits the 318!

I custom made the crossmember re using the side attachments and ax15 original rubber mount. If you know how to weld it's done in 1 hour

Thanks
I'm getting ready to do the swap in about 2 weeks
Will the clutch and flywheel from the Dakota work on the 318?

[jbaha]

I don't think it will work, you need this list of parts :

Bellhousing, clutch slave/master cylinder, bearing retainer from a 93-03 Dakota V-6 with the AX-15 5-speed trans

Driveshaft yoke from same dakota

Clutch disc/flywheel from a 96 ram with the 5.2 5 speed (NV3500)
