Re: infamous 5MT low idle stall

None of my 5-speed swaps have had the stalling issue....

Isn't it strange how some people get it and others don't? Seems to me it's either an electrical issue or a mechanical condition. Basically people don't get the wiring JUST right (missed a ground or something) or a component that's on its way out before the swap starts causing issues afterwords. But what do I know?

By the way Huck, did they offer the XT6 with a manual or did you have to swap that as well?

The XT6 came with Either :
Manual 5-Speed AWD with a center dif lock
4EAT AWD
4EAT FWD
So I did not have to swap it.

I think the stalling issue is generally the IAC, the people that have issues with stalling probably had a weak IAC when they had the automatic in, but it wasn't bad enough to be a problem, but with the manual it is more noticeable and causes the stalling problem....but that is just my Theory on it..
