Jeep

I bought a 2004 wrangler rubicon on a whim (an error on the website saved me $1000!) i then started doing research and realized that jeep changed the transmission in 2005 from a 5-speed to a 6-speed. in my 5-speed, 1st gear is way too low for street driving, so i start from 2nd, which is too high, and i am burning my clutch. i want to replace it with a 2005 manual transmission, which has a lower 1st gear, but also a lower 2nd, which will give me a better "street start" 1st gear, and i will still have 5 effective gears. my basic question is: since the engine is the same 4.0l i-6, will the new transmission bolt directly onto the engine, or are they incompatible? (i believe i gave information, but i will supply more if it is needed)

Yes, you can change the transmissions, but a transmission swap is never an easy operation. but since you already saved $10,000, you can afford to have it changed by a professional who will optimize the transmission for your desires.
