Would love to know whether it’s possible to convert a 4×4 XL-7 (Gen1/H27A) from auto to manual, and if so, what would be involved.
We’re relocating to South America, and while XL-7s are available there, they’re either 5-speed manual/4×2, or 4-speed auto/4×4. We were hoping to get a fully-optioned XL-7, in 4×4 manual. Or failing that, perhaps convert a fully-optioned auto version to manual, if possible.
