My 3.6 is using the original stock 1998 2.5 5 speed. Between Tholyoak and I it has over 30K since the conversion, no issues so far.

With my 3.6L the only thing that changed is i cant downshift into 2nd now. I dont think its motor mounts or shift cables bc my shop checked those. I have solid motor mounts not oil based. Any ideas Jake, anyone?
