Hey guys! I have the vehicle listed above with the 4L30E transmission. I want to change it to a manual transmission. I am looking at a donor car that is a 1995 Rodeo 4x4 with the 3.2L and a five speed manual transmission. Will that 1995 manual transmission bolt up to my 3.2L ( not sure if they are the same 3.2L engine ) engine with the shafts being the same also? Thank you for any input and knowledge.

You would be better off finding a 2000 with a stick. The 1995 does not have the same sensors and you will need the PCM from the manual for the rest of the parts to work. Just part of the fun in modern vehicles. Things that used to be simple are now a mess because of the computers.
