I just recently blew my transmission I had in my 85 D100 and I’m wanting to do a manual swap but I have no idea what transmission I could throw in the this thing that would bolt up properly
It’s 2wd with a 5.9

Spit-balling here but I believe most of the Dakota 5-speeds should work, now I know from 6 cyl to the 318 are the same, is the 5.9 the same...I think so, others will chime in.

Most any from behind a 318, 360, 3.7L, 4.7L, or 5.7L could be made to fit.

The ones used with V6's probably arent going to handle the extra torque for long. They also likely need a smaller flywheel, balanced for the 360LA.
