i know the early 1st gen blazers could be gotten with a manual, i drove a older one with a doggy 2.8 once, but what about the gen 2's? both owners manuals for the parts truck and the good blazer mention "driving with a manual tranmission" but ive yet to see a 4.3 blazer with a stick-shift. dad in all his searching for his next blazer said he never came across one. and when ive searched online at the used ads ive never seen a manual trans mentioned. wre they ever made with a manual after '95 or did they just not update the owners manual? i kind of prefer the std trans myself.

 

Yes they did make 5 speed blazers. They have to be very rare. I've only seen one, a 97, and it looked a little wierd how the long shifter came out from under the dash.

 

It was an option for the 2Dr, 2nd Gens, Myself and a few others have the manual transmission.

 

Not very rare at all. I've seen plenty. I think they are common on 2-doors.

 

a friend of mine has a 2000 2dr 2wd with a 5sp in it.

 

I've had an 85 2.8 and a 93 4.3 with 5 speeds.

They were made, they're just not as popular as the automatic.

 

He knows that he was asking about 95-up models!

 

guess i'll start looking at 2 doors, ive been looking at 4 doors. or find a bravada for the wife with low miles and i'll "take" the '97 for myself.

 

My 2000 has a 5 spd manual trans, its a 2dr 2wd

 

I have never seen one in a 4dr. I have had two, 2dr 4wd with a manual trans, 1996 and 2000.
