Looking to convert an 08 auto to a stick. Run me through parts, price, labor involved...
Thanks in advance!

The biggest price is likely going to be on the Tranny, console pieces that match, and I believe an entirely different T-case. (could upgrade that as well in the process). The other pieces needed are all your clutch assembly and I am not sure how the JK ecu handles transmission options/swaps.


If you are able to do the labor yourself, it might be cheaper than selling your current jeep. Otherwise with the strong resale values currently out there it might be a better to trade.

I do not believe you will need a new T-case.

Croce

I believe you will also need a new ECU from what i've read

I think me might just have to call you crazy.

I know it's probably hard to give up your rig, but might be cheaper to sell what you got and pick up a 6 speed, and a lot less work.

I know you don't want to hear it, but due to the headaches, costs, time, etc you are probably better off just buying one that is already a 6 speed. Or, just keep your auto. I thought about doing something like this with a car, but just learned to love it as an auto.
