There are ways to swap a manual into many automatics, but it's not easy at all. Sometimes a lot has to be changed around. My advice: buy a jeep that's already a manual. haha. You might spend some good cash, but you wont risk messing up your jeep.

did it on a 2000 with a 98 donor, thats the easiest way is if you can find a wrecked or junked vehicle with the necessary parts, or youll be trying to piece everything together
