MCI-2 Standard Transmission Needed

[Stormcloud]

I don't believe there's a drop box on his -2, but I may be wrong. I haven't seen the engine/transmission  out of the bus, but when I mentioned drop-box, it didn't strike a chord.
John ( my friend) was going to talk today to his mechanic about the options discussed in this thread, and soon will have to mkae a decision on what to do ( automatic or manual ). I left him with a couple of email addresses and a phone# of contacts for the various options.
Thanks for all the replies and information.
I would bet John soon joins the board. We bookmarked the site on his computer, and I bet he reads this too....He was impressed that there is so much information out there.
Thanks again!
