99 ranger transmission
hello everyone
my transmission is going down hill fast. i would just get it rebuilt but they want like $1400 to do it. i like the truck and i don't want to get rid of it but i can't spend $1400 right now. i was thinking mabe i could go out to a junk yard and get a manual transmission to swop in.... would this be worth it? would the automatic to manual help my mpg at all? how hard is it to swop a manual into a automatic truck? do i have any other options? any thing would be great thanks

Go to the junkyard and get a used auto tranny. Cheaper than a rebuilt unit, less work than swapping in a manual.
If you truly want to swap to the manual, you'll need the tranny for your engine, the shifter, a manual pedal set, clutch fluid resevoir, master cylinder, lines, slave cylinder, clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel.
