I know from when I was looking, there were none on any lots in the U.S. Not that I care about the exclusivity, but I've only even heard of one other like mind (leather and 5 speed), and that was Nugget.

I have found a hand full of 08 Adventures with manuals and quite a few (still very limited number) 06-07's Adventures with 5 speed. Still looking for a single 09-10 Adventure with a manual transmission. :sigh:

Not sure how true this is but I heard only 56 H3T manuals were made...I am assuming you will have better luck with an 09 H3 manual.

Okay call me dumb...I thought from the title of this thread, you were talking about an H3 with an Owner's MANUAL..Hell no, those ain't rare.. DUH!:emb:

The weird thing is, they make 10x the amount of H3's then H3T's in 09-10 and I have found three H3T's with the Adventure package and manual transmission but not a single H3.

Well, while probing around EBay for another copy of the shop manual for my truck, I found a set (three books, second edition) for my Monte Carlo for $40 shipped. I am glad my curiosity got peaked!

T's are nice but the break over angle kills it for me. I want a 09-10 H3 with a 5 speed and Adventure package :)

Keep in mind..that the Adventure package just isn't Rear Diff Locker and beefed up suspension..it also has the BW 4:1 transfercase, vs the 2:1 in the base models..

I know, just a thought if an adv package manual couldnt be found, just upgrade a base.

Which you will need the extra low gearing if you plan on wheeling with a manual. I have tried rock crawling with the standard TC and clutch . . . was not fun. It was difficult to climb boulders gently.

Would you be content with having an 09-10 base and then upgrade it to an adv? Or do you want it all built in?

The main reason I wanted an 09-10 was for the CI front diff with the addition of a front locker. I could swap in a CI front diff with locker, 4:1 TC, and put a locker in the rear diff but it would end up costing me more. Plus this is something I am plan on keep forever, so I want to get what I really want in the first place. I have an H3 already (which I don't plan on getting rid of either), so I am in no rush.

Ok sounds good. Good luck with your search, i follow your logic 100%, greater value if its all oem instead of aftermarket IMO. if you need any help with the search, let me know

Help me find a manual adv. T in about 10 years when I can afford one :) Seeing theres 56 out there and probably 5-6 manual T's are owned by a member here or on the other forums my chances are pretty slim.

So, if you are on H4O and have a manual T, NEVER EVER sell it for its rarity, unless you sell it to me :wink:
