Hey y’all,
So I recently purchased an 06 that has a blown engine, it was being towed behind an RV and popped into gear.
My first question is, what is the extent of the damage done to both the engine and transmission?
My second question is a little more technical. I have a 97 with a 6 cylinder and automatic transmission, and the 06 has a 4 cylinder with a manual transmission.
Is the manual transmission fubar from popping into gear? Or just the engine?
If the manual isn’t fubar, is it compatible with the 97 6 cylinder?
If the manual is fubar and I do an entire swap from the 97 into the 06, will the mounts line up?
Also, will 97 full doors and a hard top fit an 06?
Any additional info for swapping engines would be greatly appreciated too. I’m new at navigating these forums so I’m sure there’s info somewhere, I’m just not great at sifting through it all yet.
