Early Bronco Automatic To Manual Transmission Swap

Early Bronco Manual Transmission Conversion Guide

Converting your Bronco from an automatic to a manual transmission is a popular upgrade for those looking for more control and a more connected driving experience. Whether you're building a trail rig or a street-driven classic, planning the swap correctly is key to a smooth installation.

Key Components to Consider

When performing an Early Bronco manual transmission conversion, there are several essential parts you’ll need to complete the swap:

• Transmission & shifter of your choice

• Transmission adapter to mate the transmission to your transfer case

• Clutch & flywheel assembly

• Manual transmission starter

• Clutch and brake pedal assembly

• Clutch push rod & linkage

• Manual transfer case input shaft (8")

These core components form the foundation of your conversion and must be matched correctly for proper fit and function.

Supporting Parts & Fitment

Additional components may be required depending on your setup, including clutch linkage, flywheel, pressure plate, and related hardware. Keep in mind that many aftermarket parts are designed to work together as part of a system.
