Just bought a 91 Dakota 3.9 4x4. Needs a transmission. I'm hearing this a common Dodge problem with the 5spd manuals. Looking for suggestions as to a tranny I can get that won't eventually end up locked in gear like the one I'm replacing.
Eventually I'll want to upgrade to a 360 or
larger displacement V8. Is there a manual trans that can bolt up to the 3.9 as well as a V8 engine?
