Sell the jeep and buy one thats a stick,Its a bolt in swap but you need a parts jeep and a lot of time to do it.And you have a 2001 which has the head problems and low pinion dana 30 and the funky front exhaust.I would look for a 99 and older thats a stick youll get everything you want and then some.

I'm going to do this to mine one day. You need the trans the cross member any wiring to the trans the pedals all the center console stuff the master and slaves and a whole lotta time. Stripping the jeep bare makes it easier to put it all together than trying to do it with a full assembled jeep
