Converting from a three speed manual to a 4 or 5 speed

Any of the 833’s (early A, later 60’s-70’s, the overdrive version for the A/F Body will Bolt it with the appropriate bellhousing. Even B/E 833’s with the dual mounting can be used with a suitable bracket described elsewhere in this forum.

I was considering trying to locate a 92 or so to 96 Dakota with the AX15 5 speed to give me an overdrive but it seems they are about as common as hen’s teeth around my area. V8 /V6 versions are the ones to look for. Grab the bell, clutch linkage, driveshaft if you decide to go that route. I don’t know about using the 97-up Dak 5 speeds - never really got into researching them. Hope some of this helps!
