Stx550/v9x manual swap

[Jackstx550]

Hello everyone I’m looking to do a manual swap in my v9x d40. I’m trying to find a manual gearbox that will bolt to the v9x motor or find one that has an adapter plate that will make it work. Does anyone know of any gearboxes or have any info about bell housing sizes or anything?

I haven't heard of it being done - doesn't mean it's impossible!

The ECU is expecting an auto transmission (communications from the TCM inside the RE7 gearbox. I've not seen any reference to a manual-gearbox ECU for the V9X. This is a complication but might be something that someone can fix (ECU edits?).
