A/T model as parts car for 6-speed?

Post by SethM »

Opinions please:

Was looking for a second T4WD for a family member and came across an automatic transmission model (blown engine) that appears to be in reasonable shape. Not really interested in an A/T model for this person (and assume a conversion from A/T to manual is off the table--just find a manual trans model to begin with...) but wondering how useful it might be as a parts car for my 85 manual T4WD....? I am assuming all body panels and gear aside from the trans and pedal assemblies are interechangeable?

Thanks,

There's a few other minor parts differences unique to older automatics on the carb, and the tranny cooler on the radiator, but other than those and the obvious, everything's the same.
