5.9 Magnum 5-speed In an early A??

Thanks for all the replies, i guess its not worth it then. There's a local ball and trunion 4-speed but i think i read something about the odd first gear?? Anyhow, i have a rebuilt 904 so no biggie but enjoy driving the 5 speed i have in another vehicle.

I gotta disagree with it not being worth it. But that's just my opinion. Like Dion said, I swapped an AX-15 from a 98 Dakota into my Duster. Currently with 3.23 gears and a 275/35/17 rear tire first gear is pretty well useless if you're taking off on a flat surface but this winter I'll be swapping in 2.76s and it'll be a much better setup. Here's a picture of the comparison of an ax-15 with 2.76s and a low first gear 904 and 4.10s. Notice how 1st-3rd are nearly identical plus you get 2 more gears and OD

Ralphie361 has also done and AX-15 swap in his Dart and he put 2.76s in and said the car is much better to drive.
