I tried like the dickens to get a 4x2, 5spd, V6 '92-'93 or so Dak, but
for the life of me could not find one for sale at the time.

In the local classified ads right now... there are a total of 3 5spd
Daks from the years I was looking at that list the trans as a manual,
and all are 4x4's (and obviously v6, which is fine,). It pisses me off.
   I'm almost actually hoping my transmission fails (knowing my luck, it
probably will,) so that I can just chuck it and put in a manual trans.
