    anyone ever convert a van from automatic to manual trans?

    10-4, I like my '87 but my '86 is actually my dd as it gets better gas mileage and I just prefer manual trans, if my '87 was manual it would be a different story!

    anyone ever convert a van from automatic to manual trans?

    Interesting, are the NP435's directly interchangeable with T19's? I've had zero problems with my '86 and i've driven it on several 1,000+ mile trips towing trailers with vehicles.
